Field Estimating for Deck Builders

FieldRate's deck estimating software lets you build accurate estimates in 5 minutes while sitting with homeowners. Qualify every lead on price before committing hours to design and detailed proposals. Stop losing time on bids that never close.

The Problem: Hours Wasted on Dead-End Bids

Most deck contractors spend 3-5 hours per estimate — measuring, calculating materials, looking up prices, and building proposals. Then half those prospects say no because the price is too high. That's dozens of hours each month spent on jobs you never win. FieldRate solves this by giving you an accurate price range in the field, instantly.

How Field Estimating Works

• Enter deck dimensions and select decking, framing, and railing materials
• FieldRate calculates material costs and labor in real time
• Present good/better/best pricing tiers to the homeowner on the spot
• Get a soft yes before investing in detailed design and engineering
• Works on iPad, Android tablets, phones, and desktop browsers
• Full offline support — estimate on job sites with no cell signal

Built for the Field, Not the Office

FieldRate is designed for how deck builders actually work. Tap through a simple interface on your iPad, show the homeowner real numbers, and move on. No spreadsheets, no guesswork, no wasted evenings building proposals for leads that were never going to close.
