Waiting on drafters
Your sales team waits on drafters to produce accurate takeoffs. Every quote sits in a queue. Every queue is a customer who might not wait.
Every deck quote starts with a bottleneck.
Your sales process depends on steps that don't scale. Drafters, spreadsheets, back-and-forth emails. Every custom quote takes hours and still produces errors.
The cost isn't just time. It's the deals that never close.
The Real Cost
Hours per quote. Errors per order. Deals per quarter.
The process you've normalized is the constraint on your growth.
Guided Design
Deck Designer works as an internal sales tool, a customer-facing configurator on your website, or both. However you use it, your construction rules are built into the platform. Every configuration follows your engineering constraints. No invalid designs. No rework from a sketch that can't be built.
The output is ready to act on: permit plans, bills of materials, and materials lists, generated automatically and branded to your company.
Shorter sales cycles. Fewer errors. More product out the door.
Your Workflow
Your entire process in one place.
Proven foundation
Your Deck Designer. Built on a proven foundation.
LightningCAD has powered design-price-quote tools since 2013. Railing designers, dock designers, fall protection platforms: all built on the same framework.
Decks.com was one of the first. Non-experts designing permit-ready decks in minutes with drag-and-drop controls. Since then, the framework has been refined across dozens of deployments and integrated with CRMs, ERPs, eCommerce platforms, and 3D rendering tools.
You get a tool built for your business without the cost or risk of building from scratch.
