THE HONEST MATHS

Free leads. Forever.

Built by a Melbourne chippy who got sick of paying to be sold the same lead as everyone else. Here's the difference in plain numbers.

The lead brokers (hipages)

~$87–150

  • The same lead sold to 2–3 rivals
  • Lead credits expire in 2–3 months
  • Negative reviews hidden from your profile
  • All trades — you compete with everyone

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. One smoko.

STEP 01

Draw

Drag out the deck on a grid — straight runs, L-shapes, wraparounds. Drop steps anywhere on an edge. Add a pergola, slide the posts where you want them, set the roof pitch.

STEP 02

Price

Every board, bearer, joist, stump and screw is counted as you draw. Slide your markup or lock a margin — the total updates live. Your rates, your labour, your call.

STEP 03

Send

One click builds a clean A4 PDF quote with your logo, ABN and terms, and emails it straight to the client. Quoted before the other bloke's found his tape measure.

WHAT'S IN THE TOOLBOX

Everything a deck quote needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Drag-to-draw plans

Rectangles, L-shapes and U-shapes with grab handles. Snap to the grid, see dimensions and m² as you drag. Steps clip to any edge.

3D preview + framing view

Spin the finished deck in 3D, then peel it back: stump holes, stumps, bearers, joists — stage by stage. Handy on site and gold in front of clients.

Markup & margin sliders

Set markup or target margin and watch the quote move live. See your cost, your profit and the client price side by side — no spreadsheet gymnastics.

Melbourne materials library

Merbau, Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, composite and more — with photos and current trade prices loaded. Edit any rate to match your supplier.

Branded A4 PDF quotes

Your logo, colours, ABN and terms on a tidy one-pager with the plan drawing included. Looks like a $10k builder, not a texted number.

One-click email to client

Send the quote from the app with a pre-written message. Track what's draft, sent and accepted from the dashboard.

MATERIALS PARTNERS

The timber that builds them.

Every quote becomes an itemised order. Featured timber & hardware suppliers get those orders sent straight to their yard.

Word on site.

“Quoted a 40 m² merbau deck with a pergola in the client's kitchen. Showed them the 3D, slid the price in front of them, emailed the PDF before I got to the car. Signed the next morning.”

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

FAQ

Do I need to be good with computers?
If you can use a phone and a tape measure, you're overqualified. Drag out the shape, pick the decking, slide the markup, hit send. No CAD, no training videos, no manual.
Where do the material prices come from?
DECKMATE ships with a Melbourne trade-price library — merbau, spotted gum, blackbutt, composite, subframe timber, stumps, fixings and labour. Every rate is editable, so you can match your own supplier in a couple of minutes and it stays your rate from then on.
Does it handle steps, pergolas and odd shapes?
Yes. L-shapes and U-shapes with drag handles, steps dropped anywhere on an edge, and pergolas with movable posts and a pitched roof. The takeoff and the 3D update as you go.
Is the estimate a fixed quote or a guide?
It's a proper takeoff — boards, bearers, joists, stumps, screws and labour hours counted from your drawing at your rates. You're the builder: check it, tweak any line, then send. DECKMATE does the maths, you own the number.
What happens after the 5 free quotes?
Nothing sneaky — we don't take a card up front, so you can't get bill-shocked. Your first five quotes are the full product; they just carry one small “Quoted with DeckMate” line at the bottom. Go Solo to remove it and keep going. If you don't, your existing quotes stay readable and you can still export your PDFs. Cancel anytime, no lock-in contract.
