For construction materials testing labs

Stop typing the same strength four times

Field sheet, spreadsheet, break sheet, report. Breakbench takes the number once, schedules every break from the cast date, and has the report signed and sent the day the cylinder is crushed.

The 28-day clock

One cylinder, four weeks, five hand-offs

Every hand-off is somewhere a number gets re-keyed, a report goes late, or a failing break sits unnoticed for a day.

Day 0 Pour & cast Technician casts cylinders and records slump, air and temperature.
Day 0–1 Into the lab Logged in, into the tank. Field sheet re-typed.
Day 7 Early break First read. Re-typed again, often phoned to site.
Day 28 Acceptance break The number the contract turns on.
+1–3 days Report out Typed, reviewed, signed, emailed — while the GC phones for it.

What it does

The whole loop, entered once

Built around the way a concrete lab actually runs, not a generic forms app pointed at concrete.

01

Breaks schedule themselves

Enter the cast date and the ages once. Every break date is calculated and lands on the right day's break sheet. Nothing is diarised by hand, nothing gets missed.

02

Today's break sheet

One screen listing every cylinder due today. Type the strength; it flows straight into the report with the fracture type, cap method and machine already attached.

03

Reports out the same day

Reviewed, signed, rendered to archival PDF and emailed in a batch — with delivery tracked per client, so "did you get it?" has an answer.

04

Failing breaks shout

A result below spec is flagged the moment it's entered, not when someone reads the report. Text or email the responsible engineer automatically.

05

The numbers, live

Backlog, turnaround time, moving averages by mix, failure rates by plant and supplier. Drill from any chart down to the individual break.

06

Amendments done properly

Reissue a report and it gets its own identity, references the original, records what changed, and goes back out to everyone who received the first one.

Accreditation

The audit, already assembled

Most assessment findings are not "you have no procedure." They're records that couldn't be produced on the day. That is a software problem, and nobody in this market treats it as one.

Built to AASHTO R 18 and ISO/IEC 17025 together, because most labs hold R 18 first.

Switching

We move you in, you don't re-key a thing

The reason labs stay on spreadsheets and twenty-year-old software isn't loyalty — it's that moving means re-typing every client, mix design and year of history. We do that part for you: send us your existing reports and workbooks and we bring the data across, including the history your trend charts need on day one.

Pricing

Published, because nobody else does

Every price in this market sits behind a sales call. Here's ours. Unlimited users on every plan — you're billed on tests reported, not seats, so a busy month costs more than a quiet one.

Starter $3,000 per year

Labs of roughly 2–10 people.

Growth $8,500 per year

Labs of roughly 10–25 people.

Pro $19,000 per year

Labs of roughly 25–50 people.

Larger or multi-branch operations: talk to us. Migration of your existing data is quoted separately and priced per volume, not per hour.

Early access

We're looking for founding labs

Breakbench is in development. We're working with a small number of labs who want the thing shaped around how they actually run — and who'd rather influence it than inherit it.

Being straight with you: this is not a finished product you can buy today. Founding labs get the price above locked for three years, migration done for them, and direct line to the people building it.

No newsletter, no drip campaign. We'll reply personally.
