Q: Do drawings for Illinois Deck Permit Plans & Structural Drawings need to be sealed?

It depends on the project and the jurisdiction. Many residential projects do not require a seal. Where one is required, licensed professional review can be coordinated, subject to the professional's independent review.

Illinois deck drawing requirements can vary considerably among local authorities. We develop project-specific site, framing, foundation and stair or guard documentation after reviewing your property information.
