Where deck jobs slip
A build is days of work and thousands in timber — small cracks in the process cost real money.
Materials money up front
Composite boards and frame timber run into thousands before day one. Without a deposit, your cash is funding the customer's garden.
Builds sprawl across weeks
A deck is three to five days, and juggling several at once on a paper diary means someone's crew is always in the wrong place.
Extras talked about, not billed
Deck lighting, a balustrade upgrade, a coat of oil — agreed on site, forgotten by invoice, and quietly costing you margin.
Quote the design, protect the timber order
Build the quote straight from your price book (Essentials and up) — composite or timber, joists, balustrade, steps and labour, line by line. Take a deposit on the job before you order the boards so your cash isn't funding someone's garden, and let the customer accept online. The accepted quote becomes the job with nothing re-typed.
- Price book for decking boards, frame timber and labour
- Deposits collected up front on the job and applied automatically
- Online acceptance with expiry tracking on every quote
Block out a four-day build without blocking the diary
A deck is rarely a one-day job. Lay the whole build across the calendar, assign the crew on the drag-and-drop dispatch board (Professional and up), and see at a glance what's running where. If ground works run long or the weather turns, drag the rest of the build to the next dry day.
- Multi-day jobs span the calendar cleanly
- Assign crews on the Smart Dispatch board
- Double-booking checks stop two jobs landing on one crew
The lighting and finishing that padded the invoice — captured
Deck lights, a balustrade upgrade, oiling or a pergola get talked about on site and forgotten by billing. Add them to the quote as extras, send the updated quote to the customer's portal (Essentials and up), and let them tap accept. Nothing agreed on site slips through to a smaller invoice.
- Add-on line items for lighting, finishing and upgrades
- Customer accepts the extras online in their portal
- Every agreed upgrade flows through to the invoice
Checklists on the phone, signature before you leave
Give the crew the build as a checklist (Essentials and up) — frame level, boards fixed, balustrade secure, site cleared — so nothing's missed on the last day. Capture the customer's signature on a signed completion sheet on site, and the field view runs in any phone browser, so there's no app to install.
- Job checklists from frame to finish
- Signed completion sheets captured on site
- Field view in any phone browser — no app to install
Invoice on handover, paid before you've loaded the van
Tap complete and send a VAT-smart invoice with a card-payment link — the deposit's already deducted. If you're not VAT-registered it's one clean price with no tax lines; if you are, inclusive or exclusive with per-line rates. Automatic reminders chase anything that runs late.
- Card payment links via Stripe or PayPal (Essentials and up; connect your own Stripe or PayPal)
- VAT-smart, or a single clean price if you're not registered
- Automatic overdue reminders and an aged-debtors view
