Have a sketch, photos or city comments? Our seven-step process helps homeowners and deck contractors understand what to send, how pricing works, what drawings are delivered, and how city corrections are handled.
Remote service nationwide · Project-specific scope · Engineering coordination when required
Start with your address and a basic description. We will tell you which additional details are necessary before drafting.
Seven clear stages—from your first inquiry through the drawing package and any later building department comments.
Start with your property address, approximate dimensions, height and whether the deck is new, a replacement or already built. Upload your rough sketch, photos, survey, contractor layout or city comments when available. Requesting an initial quote does not require payment.
We check the available property information, deck configuration, permitting jurisdiction, structural needs and any city requests. We identify missing dimensions and whether a site plan, full drawing set, calculations or licensed PE review may be appropriate.
Before you approve, your proposal explains specific drawing sheets and files, cost, estimated delivery schedule, starting documents, payment terms, corrections and any excluded surveying or professional engineering. The choice to proceed is yours.
After written approval, agreed initial payment and essential project information, our drafting team prepares the contracted site plan, layout, framing, footings, elevations, stairs, guards and connection details. Engineering is coordinated when expressly contracted.
At the draft review stage, check the project address, dimensions, deck layout, stair location and existing versus proposed conditions. Mark requested corrections on the PDF or send a clear revision list. Qualified personnel handle technical and engineering decisions.
We deliver the final contracted PDF plans and any included calculations, professional seals or editable CAD files. Your quote defines the exact deliverables. Permit submission is normally completed by the owner or authorized contractor unless separately arranged.
If the building department requests clarifications after submission, send the complete comment letter and current plans. We assess in-scope corrections under your proposal and quote any new design, engineering or other additional services. The authority decides permit approval.
Each quote describes the specific deliverables rather than promising a one-size-fits-all package. Your set might include site placement, deck layout, framing plans, footings, elevations, stairs, guards and connection details.

Drafting, project support, technical coordination and quality review are organized around the agreed deliverables.
Your quote identifies the drawings, estimated delivery, cost, payment terms, revision policy and known exclusions.
Property information and structural details are developed for the specific agreed project, not presented as generic permit approval guarantees.
Independent U.S. PE review and sealing are arranged only where properly licensed professional coverage is available.
Send the whole city comment letter so we can identify revisions, additional technical documents and applicable scope.
Reach our team by email, phone or WhatsApp; send corrections marked on the actual PDF.
Every project is quoted on the actual requirements. Permitting review by the city is separate from our drafting schedule.

Some projects only need a deck site plan; others need a full structural set, licensed engineering or changes requested by the city. You do not need to calculate beam sizes or know the exact code references before asking for a quote.
Send the project address, approximate deck dimensions and any available permit instructions. We will help establish the appropriate scope.
A survey or reliable plot information may be needed to establish deck placement and setbacks. If a certified survey is required, that must be provided by an appropriately licensed surveyor.
That depends on your location and design. Where professional sealing is required, an appropriately licensed engineer must independently review and accept the work before sealing.
Timing depends on deck complexity, the completeness of your information, and any licensed professional review. We confirm an estimated schedule in the written quote.
We can evaluate plan-review comments and prepare agreed corrections. The proposal specifies which reasonable in-scope revision rounds are included.
No. Only the relevant building department decides whether the permit is approved. We prepare the contracted drawing package and can assist with additional requirements by agreement.
Send your address, measurements and any sketches, photos or city notes. We will review the details and provide an appropriate project-specific quote.
Plans and services are limited to the agreed scope. PE sealing is conditional on licensed professional acceptance. Local permitting authorities control approvals.
