What slows deck builders down

Board and footing takeoffs are guesswork on paper

A deck quote lives or dies on the takeoff — joists, beams, ledger, posts, footings, decking boards, fasteners, and railing all scale with square footage and framing plan. Most builders estimate on a legal pad and lose margin to waste. Vexor keeps the line-item quote attached to the customer and the site photos, with e-signature so an accepted quote flows straight into a job.

The build stalls waiting on permits and inspections

Footing inspection before you pour, framing inspection before you deck, final before the client pays. A missed inspection window can idle a crew for days. Vexor tracks each permit and inspection as a scheduled job event, so the build sequence — dig, pour, frame, deck, rail, final — never gets ahead of the sign-offs.

Structural connections are a warranty and liability trail

Ledger flashing, hold-downs, joist hangers, and footing depth are exactly what fails — and exactly what a homeowner or inspector will ask about years later. Generic camera roll loses the context. Vexor tags every photo by category (Before / Progress / Ledger & Flashing / Framing / Final / Inspection) so the structural record is searchable forever.

Elevated work needs a JSA the crew actually signs

Decks put carpenters on ladders, on beams, and above grade — fall exposure that OSHA expects you to plan for. Most builders skip the paper until someone gets hurt. Vexor has digital JSA with mobile signatures so every crew member signs off on fall protection and PPE from their phone before the framing starts.

How Vexor maps to your workflow

Quotes with material takeoffs

Deck quotes line-item framing lumber, decking boards, railing, fasteners, and footings by the framing plan. Homeowner sees a professional bid; you keep the takeoff data attached for ordering.

Scheduling around inspections

Footing, framing, and final inspections scheduled as job events so the build sequence stays in order. Weather-driven reschedules tracked in one place.

Photo categories built for decks

Every photo tagged: Before, Footings, Ledger & Flashing, Framing, Decking, Railing, Final, Inspection. Searchable for warranty and code disputes years later.

JSA with mobile signatures

Fall-protection hazard analysis for elevated framing, PPE checklist, crew signs on phone before the build. Audit trail satisfies OSHA + insurance.

Daily logs with weather

Auto-pulled weather + crew count + work completed + blockers. Documents the rain days that pushed the pour or the deck.

Client portal

Homeowners follow the build — photos, progress, and change orders on a private link. Fewer "how's it going?" calls, faster final payment.

From the field

Every deck is a permit, an inspection, and a homeowner watching. Vexor keeps the photo trail and the schedule in one place instead of three apps.

FAQ for Deck builders

Is Vexor a deck-only product?

No — Vexor is multi-trade. Deck and railing builders like it because the material-takeoff quoting, inspection scheduling, structural photo trail, and JSA fit the work well. It is deck-friendly without being locked to one trade, so it also covers the fencing, pergola, and remodel jobs most deck builders also run.

Can I track materials and waste per deck?

Yes — line-item quotes capture framing lumber, decking, railing, and fasteners, and receipt uploads track per-job material spend in real time. The profit dashboard shows revenue vs labor + materials per job so you can see which deck sizes actually make money.

Does Vexor do material takeoff automatically from a drawing?

No — Vexor is not a CAD takeoff tool. You enter the takeoff as quote line items (with your own templates for common deck sizes), and Vexor keeps that data attached to the job, ordering, and profit tracking. It organizes the estimate; it does not generate framing plans.

How many decks can we run at $99/mo?

Unlimited. There is no per-job, per-photo, or per-carpenter cap on any plan. A four-crew deck company pays the same $99 (Field) or $199 (Operations) as a solo builder.

Can crews see only their assigned decks?

Yes — field crew see only the jobs they are assigned to. Office users see everything.

Does it handle permits and inspections?

Vexor tracks permits and inspections as scheduled job events with photo documentation, so your build sequence stays behind the sign-offs. It does not file the permit for you or integrate with a specific municipal portal — it keeps your record straight.
