Free Concrete Pour Card Template (Printable PDF)

A pour card is the one document from a pour that outlives the pour — the permanent record of what went into that element, truck by truck, with the checks and signatures that stand behind it. This is a free printable version, built the way concrete crews actually fill one in: off the batch tickets, at the pour, one page per placement.

What’s on it

Placement block — element and drawing reference, mix design and PSI, supplier and order number, planned vs. actual yards, slump and air spec.
A seven-row delivery log — ticket number, arrival and discharge times, slump, concrete temperature, air, and yards per truck, with a total. Written off the batch tickets as trucks land, which is the only time it’s ever accurate.
Checks before and during — pre-pour confirmations done, reinforcement and embeds inspected (and by whom), formwork checked, cylinder sets taken, inspector noted.
Finish, curing, and weather — plus hot/cold protection, which matters exactly when the weather does.
Three sign-offs and a notes block — foreman, QC or inspector, GC representative, and anything the next pour should know.

How to make it actually get filled out

Assign it before the first truck. A card with no owner stays blank. Name the person when the pour is confirmed — usually whoever runs the pre-pour checklist.
Write the delivery rows off the tickets in real time. Reconstructed at the end of the day, the times are fiction and the slumps are guesses.
Staple the batch tickets to the card and file both with the job. The card summarizes; the tickets prove.
One card per placement, even small ones — the pour nobody documented is always the one the low break comes back on.

Where the paper version stops

Honestly: the card in the truck gets rained on, the office copy gets filed by someone who wasn’t there, and the delivery times depend on a person with a pen having a spare hand at the chute. In Planning Ops, most of the card writes itself — the pour already carries its mix, supplier, yards, and crew, and the daily report records the day against it, signed and numbered, with the weather filled in from the jobsite’s own address. The paper card is the right tool until the day it isn’t; when that day comes, the daily report is where this record moves.

Print a stack, pour with a record

Take the card — it’s yours, no strings. And when the pours per week outgrow the clipboard, put one real pour on a live board and watch its record keep itself. Planning Ops is built for concrete subs, veteran-owned, with a 14-day free trial and your whole crew riding free as viewers. Let the Record Keep Itself →

Questions concrete subs ask

What is a concrete pour card?

The permanent record of one placement: what was poured, from which mix and supplier, truck by truck, with the checks that were made and the signatures that stand behind it. Long after the pour, it’s the document that answers what actually went into that element — for the GC, the inspector, or a dispute two years out.

What goes on a pour card?

The placement details (element, drawing reference, mix design, supplier and order number, planned vs. actual yards), a per-truck delivery log off the batch tickets (ticket number, arrival and discharge times, slump, concrete temperature, air, yards), the QC checks made before and during — reinforcement, formwork, test cylinders, inspector — and the finish, curing, and weather. Then the sign-offs. This template carries all of it on one page.

What’s the difference between a pour card, a pour log, and a daily report?

A pour card is one placement’s permanent record — quality-focused, per pour. A pour log is the running list of pours across a job, schedule-focused. A daily report is one day’s record of everything — crew, hours, work, deliveries, safety — which may include a pour. On paper you keep all three separately; in software they’re views of the same data.

Who fills out the pour card, and who keeps it?

The foreman or QC person at the pour fills it in as trucks land — the delivery table is written off batch tickets in real time, not reconstructed at the truck later. The office keeps the signed card with the job records; many specs require a copy to the GC or the testing agency. If nobody is assigned to it before the first truck, it doesn’t get filled out — that’s the whole failure mode.

Is a pour card required?

Often, effectively yes — many project specifications require placement records, batch-ticket retention, and cylinder documentation, and the pour card is the standard shape those take. Even where nothing requires it, it’s the cheapest insurance in concrete: when strength results come back low, the card is how you reconstruct which trucks went where.
