From 3D concept to framing and takeoff.
One deck model drives the visual design, framing layout, materials and reporting workflow.
3D deck view
Rotate and inspect a finished deck model with decking, fascia, stairs and railing.
Framing view
Expose joists, rims, beams, posts, footings, stair framing and modeled connectors.
Joist layout
Set joist size and spacing and calculate the repeated framing from project dimensions.
Both-end joist hangers
When enabled, each carried joist is modeled with a complete hanger assembly at both endpoints.
Stair calculations
Calculate riser count, tread count, run and full-depth stringer geometry from deck height.
Railing layout
Model guard posts, rails and balusters along selected deck edges and stair runs.
True-length takeoff
Build the purchase list from finished cut lengths rather than simple area multipliers.
Cut optimization
Pack shorter cuts into stock lengths and track reusable offcuts and saw kerf.
Supplier price profiles
Use editable local pricing instead of treating national reference prices as guaranteed quotes.
Project dashboard
Save multiple projects to the member account and reopen them later.
Reports
Generate project summaries and material reporting from the server-calculated model.
Private calculation engine
The production engine lives outside the public web root and is loaded only by the Node application.
