Estimate dock materials and lumber — automatically.
Stop counting boards on a napkin. Draw the dock and Dock Builder produces the cut-list, framing lumber, floats, pilings, and hardware as you go — then turns it into a quote.
A real take-off, not a guess
Every dock section derives its own bill of materials from its geometry and your product choices — so resizing a deck or changing the joist spacing reflows the whole estimate instantly:
- Decking cut-list with board lengths optimized to reduce waste
- Framing: perimeter rim, joists on-center, and blocking, sized to the section
- Floats and float spacing for floating docks
- Pilings — placed by hand or auto-generated for pier docks
- Cleats, lights, ladders, bumpers, and their fasteners
Lumber or composite — your call
Switch a section between dimensional lumber and composite decking (e.g. Weardeck) and the cut-list and framing update to match. Set project-wide product defaults once, or override a single element — the estimate always reflects what you’d actually buy.
From estimate to quote
When the take-off looks right, roll it into a quote with your labor rate, margin, and tax. Product prices snapshot at quote time, so quotes stay stable even when catalog prices move later.
