Does Your Deck Need Engineered Plans?
Many places let simple, low decks follow a prescriptive deck guide. Higher decks, long spans, hot tubs, cantilevers, roof decks and patio covers attached to the house usually need plans – and often engineering.
Tell us the size, height and what will sit on it. We confirm what your permit needs and design it to pass inspection.
