From Measurements to
Client-Ready Deck Proposals
in Hours
The DeckDraft Workflow
Design. Estimate. Deliver.
Three steps that replace the five tools you're currently juggling — and produce a better proposal than any of them alone.
3D Deck Renderings Your Clients Can Actually Picture
Walk into a sales meeting with photo-realistic 3D renderings built from your site measurements. Choose materials, railings, and levels interactively. Clients say yes when they can see exactly what they're buying — not just a top-down sketch.
- Full 3D model from site dimensions in under 30 minutes
- Composite, cedar, tropical hardwood material libraries
- Multiple elevations and camera angles for presentations
- Export to PDF, email, or client link instantly
Accurate Material Takeoffs and Cost Estimates in Minutes
The moment your design is set, DeckDraft calculates exact board counts, hardware quantities, concrete volumes, and labor hours. Costs update live with your local pricing. No spreadsheets, no second-guessing, no margin surprises mid-build.
- Automatic material takeoff from your 3D model
- Live cost calculation with your supplier price lists
- Local building code compliance pre-check
- Itemized line-item breakdown you can mark up and present
Send a Complete Client Package That Closes the Deal
Combine the 3D rendering, full material list, cost estimate, and permit-ready building plan into one professional PDF package. Look like the most organized contractor on the block — because you are. Clients sign because they trust your process.
- One-click proposal package: design + estimate + plans
- Permit-ready drawings to submit to local building departments
- Branded PDF with your company logo and contact info
- E-signature ready — send, get signed, start the job
