Fence & Deck Estimating Software for Contractors & Suppliers
Draw it. Price it. Get it signed.
3D designs in under 60 seconds — with full material lists and regional pricing. Trace the yard from satellite, design in true 3D, and send a signable estimate with real material math — posts, joists, concrete bags and all — before you leave the driveway.
Four steps.
Same site visit.
Everything between "how much for a fence?" and a signed estimate — without opening Excel, a price book, or your truck door twice.
Trace the property
Type the client's address, get the satellite view, calibrate the scale, and trace the fence line right over their actual yard.
Design in 3D
Decks and fences render board-by-board as you build. Flip to X-ray to show the client the bones: joists, beams, footings.
Price it for real
A true bill of materials — every post, hanger, and concrete bag — priced for your region, or your own supplier price list.
Send. Sign. Done.
The client gets a clean estimate on their phone, signs with a finger, and you get notified. Invoice from the same screen.
Drag it. Watch the lumber yard answer.
This is a taste of the real engine — the app prices the full structure: beams sized to span, joists at your spacing, buy-length optimization, cut waste, the works.
Software that knows
which way the joists run.
Generic CRMs make you type the numbers. F&D Studio computes them — from the same span tables and spacing rules you build by.
Satellite tracing with real scale
Geocode the address, calibrate against a known length, and trace runs that come back in true feet. Gates, corners, and sheds snap into the plan.
A real bill of materials
Not "$/sq ft × area." Posts, rails, pickets, hangers, screws by count, concrete by the bag — with buy-length optimization and exact-vs-efficient cut modes.
X-ray framing view
One tap strips the deck to its structure. Clients see what they're paying for; you see what you're building.
Regional + custom prices
Ottawa to Dallas — regional multipliers out of the box, or load your own supplier price list and quote with your real costs.
E-sign + invoices
Send a signable estimate by email, get notified the moment it's signed, convert it to an invoice in one click.
A calendar clients can book
Share your open dates and clients pick a site visit themselves — or drag a job onto the calendar yourself. Crew conflicts flag automatically.
From signed to built
Every job gets a board — crew days, materials, field notes, and costs — so nothing lives in a separate spreadsheet.
Payment button, right in the invoice
Card payment or e-transfer instructions ship inside the same email as the invoice — no separate link to chase down.
Seven materials, every layout
PT, cedar, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, and hybrids — multi-run layouts with gates, slopes, and per-segment detail.
Code-aware structure
Joist and beam sizing that follows the span tables (DCA-6), footing layout, stairs, railings — recalculated live as you drag.
Blueprint-grade PDFs
Estimates ship with a clean site plan, 3D beauty shot, and itemized materials — the kind of paperwork that wins jobs.
Half the price of the big guys.
More of the capability.

I used to price fences at the kitchen table after dinner. Now I trace the yard on my phone while the homeowner watches, and they sign before I'm back on the highway.
The 3D view closed a $22K composite deck for me. The client finally understood why footings and framing cost what they cost.
The material list matches what my yard actually sells. That's the part no other app got right — I stopped padding quotes just in case.
Pays for itself on the first job.
One padded "just-in-case" line item costs more than a year of F&D Studio.
