For Deck builders
Deck building software built for crews, not solo remodelers.
Quote decks with material takeoffs, schedule the build around inspections and weather, document every footing and ledger connection with tagged photos, and hand the homeowner a portal — flat pricing, no per-carpenter fees.
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.”
