Deck Builders

Qualify deck projects before the first sales call.

Métré Build helps deck builders replace vague inquiries with a guided intake that captures scope, site context, photos, budget, timing and contact consent.

Frequent inquiry gaps

Prospects do not know dimensions
Photos arrive later by text
Existing structure condition is unclear
Budget and timing are missing
Access constraints are discovered too late
Sales has to restart discovery from scratch

What the Deck Playbook collects

New deck, replacement, extension or resurfacing
Property and existing site condition
Approximate length, width or area
Height, stairs and access limitations
Material preference
Desired features
Photos or plans
Budget range and timeline
ZIP code, contact details and consent

A guided project journey, not a longer contact form.

Each screen asks for one important decision and explains why it matters. Visitors can choose Not sure when dimensions, materials or scope are not ready yet.

1

How would you like to start?

Some visitors already know exactly what they want; others prefer to start from an inspiration photo.

2

Show us what inspired your project

We'll help you turn that inspiration into a project your contractor can understand.

3

What kind of deck project is this?

The project type changes the questions a builder needs before the first call.

4

Tell us about the property and current site

Existing conditions help separate a simple resurfacing request from a structural project.

5

Approximate dimensions

Rough measurements are enough for a first qualification brief. Exact dimensions can be confirmed later.

6

Height and access

Elevation, stairs and access constraints can change feasibility and the next sales step.

What the sales team receives

A Project Brief separates confirmed visitor answers from deterministic checks, missing information and suggested next action.
