Concrete remains workable for a little over an hour, although the exact time depends on the type of concrete mix and the ambient temperature; concrete sets faster in hot weather.
Concrete footings may be ready for the first layer of bricks on the day after pouring but most mixes require two days. It is best to keep off drives or roadways for at least 48 hours and avoid running heavy loads - including cars - over them for seven days (ideally 10 in winter). Concrete reaches most of its full strength by around 28 days.
