Since its founding in 1980, Archadeck Outdoor Living has become a prominent name in the outdoor living space industry. Specializing in the design and construction of various outdoor structures, Archadeck offers a diverse array of products, including decks, screened porches, sunrooms, patios, hardscapes, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, gazebos, and more.

Training 

The franchisor offers extensive training to franchisees, ensuring they are well-equipped to manage their franchise. The training encompasses:

  • An overview of the system, techniques, procedures, installation processes, and operational methods.
  • Instruction on advertising strategies, sales techniques, promotional ideas, and marketing plans.
  • Guidance on customer relations, quality standards, administrative practices, safety protocols, and accounting procedures.
  • Hands-on experience in running a franchise.

This initial training program is compulsory and must be completed by the franchisee or their Designated Business Manager before the Operational Start Date.

It is typically held up to five times a year at no additional cost to the franchisee, although travel, accommodation, and related expenses are the responsibility of the franchisee. The training is based on the information in the franchisor's Manual and is designed to ensure franchisees are thoroughly prepared to operate their business successfully.

Territory Protection

Under the Franchise Agreement, franchisees are allocated a protected territory to operate their Construction Sales and Service Business. This territory is designated based on factors such as demographics, population density, home values, and average income.

Typically, a franchise territory encompasses a population of fewer than 600,000 people. If a franchisee is allocated a territory with a population exceeding this limit, an additional fee may be charged based on the number of people beyond the standard threshold.

The franchisor retains the right to define the boundaries of the territory at its sole discretion and may alter, modify, or remove the population limit as necessary. Franchisees maintain their territorial rights even if the population within their territory fluctuates over time.
