FAQ
Will these plans pass my city's permit office?
Yes. All drawings are designed to meet IRC and DCA6 standards. If your city requests minor updates or revisions, I will modify the drawings free of charge to help you get approved.
What project files will I receive?
You will receive high-resolution, print-ready PDFs formatted to standard blueprint sheets and the editable AutoCAD DWG source files for your contractor.
Can you design custom, multi-level, or hot tub decks?
Yes. I design free-standing, attached, multi-level, and heavy-load decks including hot tub framing. Contact me first to discuss your custom layout.
What do you need to start the project?
I just need your deck's rough dimensions or a hand sketch, photos of the build site/house wall, and your city name to calculate local snow and wind loads.
