What we deliver

Engineering that gets permitted & built.

Complete engineering support for every deck project — from small residential platforms to large elevated and commercial structures.

Professional Deck CAD Drawings for Permitting & Construction

Need accurate, detailed deck CAD drawings for a new deck, replacement deck, renovation, or permit application? We provide professional deck design drawings and construction-ready CAD plans prepared to address applicable building-code and permitting requirements.

Our detailed deck drawing packages can include:

Code-Compliant Deck Drawings for U.S. Projects

Every deck project has its own site conditions, dimensions, structural requirements, and local permitting requirements. We can prepare the drawings based on the applicable U.S. building codes, standards, and local jurisdictional requirements.

Simply provide the city, municipality, county, or jurisdiction where the deck will be constructed, along with its official website when available. The applicable local requirements can then be reviewed so the CAD drawing package can be developed with the project's permitting requirements in mind.

From Deck Concept to Permit-Ready CAD Drawings

Whether you are a homeowner, deck contractor, general contractor, builder, architect, designer, or property owner, detailed drawings can help communicate the design clearly and reduce costly questions and revisions during permitting and construction.

If you have multiple deck projects, we can also support ongoing drafting needs with consistent, detailed CAD drawing packages based on your project requirements.

Send us your deck dimensions, sketches, photos, site information, and jurisdiction location to get started. We can help turn your deck project information into a professional, detailed CAD drawing package suitable for permitting, and construction.

Residential Deck Engineering

Safe, code-compliant designs for attached, detached, elevated, multi-level, and pool decks — with full load calculations, beam sizing, and connection detailing.

Stamped Plans & Permit Drawings

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions.

A licensed deck structural engineer calculates the loads a deck must carry — dead, live, snow, wind, and seismic — then sizes the beams, joists, posts, and footings accordingly, and stamps the final drawings your building department requires for permit approval.
In most jurisdictions, yes. Many building departments require PE-stamped structural drawings even for straightforward backyard decks, since prescriptive code tables don't always cover custom heights, spans, or soil conditions.
Typical turnaround is 24–72 hours once project details are submitted, including dimensions, height, decking material, and intended use.
Yes — Professional Engineers are licensed across all 50 U.S. states and are matched to the state where your project is located.
This covers decks plus adjacent structures like pergolas, rooftop terraces, outdoor kitchens, and hot tub platforms — each with its own load path and connection design requirements.
