Why Contractors Love the TimberTech Deck Designer
Time is money—and so is precision. The TimberTech Deck Designer isn’t just a flashy visualizer; it’s a fully integrated planning tool. This browser-based platform allows contractors to customize deck dimensions, choose from TimberTech’s extensive range of boards and colors, and automatically generate a detailed materials list. No more back-of-the-napkin sketches or guesswork when quoting jobs. The Designer gives you a professional blueprint you can use to communicate clearly with clients and crews alike.
Contractors can:
- Save multiple deck designs for different customers or projects
- Export permit-ready plans and materials lists
- Show clients photo-realistic renderings that build excitement
- Easily adjust layouts, railing types, and stair configurations
- Streamline material ordering through Spahn & Rose
Start with Homeowner Ideas—Then Bring Them to Life
Homeowners are increasingly doing their homework before calling a builder. TimberTech’s Deck Designer empowers them to explore layout ideas and visualize different color combinations in their own time. By the time they reach out to a contractor, they often already have a strong sense of what they want.
That’s where you come in. Builders can take those rough homeowner-generated designs and use the Deck Designer’s robust editing tools to fine-tune plans for feasibility, local codes, and on-the-ground realities. It’s a win-win: the homeowner feels more engaged in the process, and the builder starts ahead of the curve.
Designed for Real-World Job Sites
The TimberTech Deck Designer is tailored for the realities of fieldwork. Whether you’re working with an awkward footprint, integrating outdoor features like hot tubs or fire pits, or handling multi-tiered structures, the tool gives you flexible control over every element of the plan. You can even simulate different sun angles and decking directions to help customers visualize their deck throughout the day.
And because it’s web-based, the tool works seamlessly across devices—meaning you can walk a homeowner through design ideas on your tablet while standing on-site.
Get a Materials List in Minutes
One of the most powerful features of the TimberTech Deck Designer is its ability to generate a materials takeoff list in real time.
