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

The modules we run for you, built around how outdoor construction companies actually work.

ArcQuote

We quote deck material options off your real supplier rates

Kwila, pine, or composite, priced from your price books. We build the options so you can offer clients a choice without redoing the whole quote.

Example: Client wants to see kwila vs pine for their 6x4m deck. We turn one job brief into both priced options, so they can compare without you sitting down to re-quote.

ArcPulse

We watch your deck pipeline so you know next month's workload

How many decks are quoted, approved, and in the pipeline, plus live margin on the jobs running. We keep an eye on it so you can plan materials and crew with confidence.

Example: An example pipeline view: decks quoted this week, a few approved and starting soon, site visits booked, and materials flagged for the confirmed jobs.

ArcChase

We chase your deck quotes before clients go elsewhere

Deck quotes go cold fast in a competitive market. We run the follow-up for you, professional and on time, so you stay front of mind without being pushy.

Example: You quote a kwila deck Monday. We follow up Wednesday with a quick check-in, send a material note Friday, and nudge again the following week. You don't have to remember any of it.

ArcReport

We show you which deck types and materials make you the most

Kwila entertainers vs pine simple decks vs composite surrounds. We pull the reporting so you can see the real margin per type and material.

Example: An example report breaks margin down by deck type and material, so you can see which work pays and where the handrail and extras add up.

ArcSync

We keep your deck operation in sync, on top of your existing tools

We run the operations layer on top of the tools you already use, so material orders, scheduling, and invoices aren't handled twice.

Example: Deck quote approved Friday, material order placed with your supplier, crew scheduled, client gets a start date, invoice ready in Xero. We keep it moving on top of your existing tools.
