The workflow
The path from a drawn dock to something a customer can sign — each step in its own guide.
Material take-off
How the take-off counts decking, framing, floats, pilings, and hardware as you draw — with a real cut-list and waste.
Quoting
Roll the take-off into a quote: snapshot the design, group lines by material, add labor, margin, and tax.
PDF export & permit plans
Turn the same design into scaled, permit-ready PDF exhibits with title blocks and the views a reviewer expects.
Sharing & collaboration
Invite teammates by role, send a no-account share link, and collect comments right on the plan.
Setup & site
Get the foundations right so every dock you draw is grounded in the real site and priced with the products you actually use.
Site & aerial map
Anchor a project to its real location, drop it on a satellite basemap, and orient it to the shoreline.
Materials & products
Set default products once, override per element where it matters, and switch lumber for composite in a click.
White-label & branding
Run Dock Builder as your own — your logo and colors, branded quotes and PDFs, a web address that brings you quote leads, and a builder set up around how your shop works.
