Sound Familiar?

Every deck builder faces these same challenges. You're not alone.

Material options multiply complexity

Kwila vs pine vs composite, different joist spacings, various finishes — every option changes the entire quote calculation.

Clients want instant comparisons

Show me kwila vs pine vs composite pricing — same deck, different materials. Should be simple but takes forever to calculate.

Balustrade regulations add scope

Height requirements, spacing regs, wind loading — compliance adds scope that's easy to miss in quick quotes.

Seasonal demand rollercoaster

October to March is crazy busy, April to September is planning time. Need pipeline visibility but spreadsheets don't cut it.

How WorkArc Helps Deck Builders

Six powerful tools designed specifically for trades like yours.

ArcQuote

Quote deck material options instantly from your supplier rates

6×4m deck — kwila, pine, or composite options priced automatically. Offer clients material choice without re-doing the whole quote.

Example: Client wants to see kwila vs pine pricing for their 6×4m deck. Input dimensions once, get both options instantly: Kwila $17,400, Pine $11,900.

ArcVoice

Capture deck enquiries during peak season when phones ring non-stop

Peak building season and your phone's ringing every 10 minutes? ArcVoice qualifies deck enquiries and books site visits while you keep building.

Example: Busy building a deck when client calls about their 'small deck project'. ArcVoice discovers it's a 40sqm entertainer, qualifies budget, books site visit for Thursday 3pm.

ArcPulse

Track your deck pipeline and know next month's workload

See exactly how many decks are quoted, approved, and in your pipeline. Plan your materials and crew schedule with confidence.

Example: Pipeline view shows: 8 decks quoted this week ($127k), 3 approved starting next week, 2 site visits booked, materials needed for 5 confirmed jobs.

ArcChase

Follow up deck quotes before clients go with your competitor

Deck quotes get stale fast in competitive markets. Professional follow-up keeps you front-of-mind without being pushy.

Example: You quote a $18k kwila deck Monday. ArcChase sends follow-up Wednesday ('Any questions?'), material update Friday ('Kwila prices stable this month'), final nudge next Monday.

ArcReport

Know which deck types and materials make you the most money

Kwila entertainers vs pine simple decks vs composite pool surrounds — see the real margins per type and material.

Example: Analysis shows: Kwila decks 19% margin, Pine decks 15% margin, Composite 22% margin. Handrail work adds 8% to any job profitability.

ArcSync

Connect deck quotes to your supplier and accounting systems

Quote approved → automatic material order to supplier → job scheduled → invoice ready. No more manual ordering or double-entry.

Example: Deck quote approved Friday → automatic order to Carters for Monday delivery → crew scheduled → client gets start date confirmation → Xero invoice ready.
