Deck plans and takeoffs in under a minute.

No. Draw the deck and DeckBuild frames it for you in under a minute — the most cost-efficient, code-compliant structure, customized to exactly how you build: your footings, your framing connections, your methods. Because it instantly checks for the most cost-efficient layout against how you build and your local code, it saves an average of $542 in material per deck versus working it out by pencil and paper.

Yes. DeckBuild exports clean PDF blueprints — plan view, framing layout, elevation views, and a footing load schedule — with your company branding and notes. They're built to hand to your crew or submit for a permit. As the plans note, a licensed engineer should review the structure before permit submission in your jurisdiction.

Yes. DeckBuild follows IRC-based residential deck span tables, tuned to the lumber species you use, how you build, how you do your footings, your local frost line, and your local code. And once the deck is drawn, you can customize anything you like — the number and placement of footings, beams, and joists; beam and joist sizing; railing, picture frame, parting board, stairs, and more.

Two clicks gets you everything: permit-ready PDF drawings (plan view, framing, elevations, and load schedule) plus a complete material takeoff and cut list to Excel or CSV — itemized and priced to your catalog, and branded with your logo and company info.

Rectangles, angled and multi-level decks, freestanding or attached to the house — with stairs, railings, picture frame, parting boards, cantilevers, and cut-outs. If you can build it, you can draw it and frame it in DeckBuild.

Completely. Your footings, connection details, fasteners, blocking style, span tables, and decking and stair defaults all flow into every plan automatically — and after the deck is drawn you can override beam and joist sizing, footing type and placement, and more, deck by deck.

Yes. Treated, composite, or aluminum — DeckBuild builds the takeoff from your SKUs, your costs, and your stock lengths, all the way down to the fasteners. No "misc hardware" bucket and no guessing.

Yes. Set your supplier pricing and catalogs once and it flows into every takeoff. Quotes reflect what you actually pay — not a generic national average.

Yes. Invite admins and designers, plus unlimited free view-only accounts. Company-wide defaults — your span tables, build methods, supplier catalogs, and branding — keep every estimator's plans consistent, so a new hire's first plan looks like your tenth.

If you can draw a deck with a pencil, you can draw a deck on DeckBuild — in under a minute, with no training or experience. It's just that easy. DeckBuild runs in any modern browser; use it in the home with a client or back in the office.
