Case Study: Decksouth achieves 10+ more projects and major time savings with Buildertrend

Decksouth - Customer Case Study

Decksouth, an outdoor‑living specialist based in Marietta, Georgia (est. 1998), was struggling with time‑wasting, paper‑based workflows while managing more than 2,000 projects across six crews. To centralize operations and make every second count they adopted Buildertrend — the construction project management platform with features such as templates, the Customer Portal and photo storage — to replace archaic manila‑folder processes and standardize their design/build work.

Buildertrend supported Decksouth with Onsite Consulting to build workflows and drive adoption, and Decksouth now relies on Buildertrend templates, the Customer Portal and mandatory daily photo uploads to streamline operations. The impact: templates alone save roughly a full workday per week, and the company grew from about 52–53 jobs a year to 62–65 — roughly 10 additional $109,000 average jobs annually, translating to a potential seven‑figure increase in revenue.
