Designed around deck jobs
Assemble the deck layout, then refine the details.
DeckDraft is not a blank CAD screen. Start with deck bays, resize the job, snap sections together, then dial in stairs, rails, framing, warnings, 3D, takeoff, plot context, and exports from the same model.
Add bays
Build the rough shape from deck sections instead of drawing every joist and line by hand.
Dial it in
Resize the layout, add stairs and rails, tune seams, beams, posts, joists, overhangs, and defaults.
Check the work
Review warnings, advisor suggestions, 3D, takeoff, plot context, and exports before it leaves your desk.
Layout assembly
Start with bays, not blank CAD lines.
Add deck sections, resize them, snap them together, clip corners, add stairs and landings, and keep the model easy to change.
Framing review
Tune the structure while checks stay visible.
Move beams and posts, change joists, cantilevers, overhangs, seams, and defaults while span and footing warnings stay tied to the plan.
Verify and package
Review the deck before it leaves your shop.
Use 3D to catch geometry issues or show a customer, spot-check the takeoff, add plot-plan context when needed, then export the package.
Plan package preview
Branded professional plans with your company info.
Add your logo, customer details, job info, and plan notes once. DeckDraft exports the framing, decking, elevations, standard details, and takeoff from the same deck layout.

Active development
Contractor feedback is shaping the tool.
DeckDraft is already strong on standard residential decks, and new workflow improvements are added often. Polygonal layouts, complex multi-angle decks, and unusual tie-ins are still being improved and may need extra review or cleanup today.
Questions contractors ask
What to know before you use it on a job.
DeckDraft is focused on common residential deck work: fast layout, framing checks, branded plans, and takeoffs without setting up a full CAD workflow.
What deck jobs is it best for?
Standard residential decks with bays, stairs, landings, clipped corners, house bump-outs, beams, posts, joists, rails, skirting, and common framing adjustments.
What do I get out of it?
A branded PDF plan package with framing, decking, elevations, standard details, notes, and material takeoff output from the same deck layout.
Does it check spans and footings?
Yes. DeckDraft flags span, cantilever, overhang, and footing issues while you work, then gives practical framing suggestions to clean up the layout.
Can my team use it?
Yes. The base plan includes one user, extra seats are $50/month, and team jobs, company defaults, and shared setup stay under the company account.
Can I show customers the deck?
Yes. Use the 3D view to review the layout and materials, or create an AI mockup concept from the current deck view when a sales visual helps.
Is it engineering?
No. It is drafting software with code-aware checks and standard details. Verify local requirements, site conditions, quantities, and engineering needs before building or submitting.
