Deck & Patio Takeoff Software for Deck Builders
Measure the deck surface, rim, stairs and railing from the drawing and price boards, framing and hardware from your own catalogue.
What you measure
Deck surface (SF)
Trace each deck level as an area; cut out hot tubs and openings.
Rim, fascia & railing (LF)
Trace the perimeter for fascia and the guarded edges for railing.
Footings & posts (EA)
Count footings, posts and post bases on the framing plan.
Stairs
Count stair runs and trace stringers with a slope angle for true length.

What you price
Why decks & patios businesses switch
Deck builders often rely on supplier calculators or spreadsheets that do not know their own prices. TrueScope measures the plan and prices it with your own materials, labour and margins.
Setup tip
Set 1 SF of decking = 0.75 LF of joist at 16 in centres on your framing product, so the surface area also prices the framing.
Common questions
Yes. Create two groups or two proposal options linked to different decking products and let the client choose.
