Do you want a deck this summer?

If you want a new deck, add to your existing deck or put a roof over your deck. And you have time on your hand. Why not do it yourself.
Decks can be built by people that are handy with tools. It’s simple when you have a plan showing the size & spacing of the members. At wicked Maple Design, we do deck plan showing all members, reactions, spacing, flashing, and everything else you need to build your own deck. We re-check if your existing structure can support an extension, and we provide engineering beam sheet showing it work, as there is no substitute to safety when your family is enjoying it. Our plan are conform to the building code & City bylaw, and are used to pull permit at the City (you need a permit if your deck is 24” or more from grade).
We have designed lots of decks, basement developments for the area. We even designed deck to support hot tubs (recess from the deck itself). Have a summer project, build without confusion, have fun.

How to see quality in a construction plan?

What should be included in a plan?
On any construction project, you need a plan. Plan do differs by projects, but all plans should include these pages.
-Footing plan
-Floor plan
-Sections
-Elevations
-Details, Details and more details
-Energy Code (if heated)
-bylaws may asked for more pages, depending on the area that the building will be erected.

Now, how to look at quality when reviewing a plan?

-All dimensions shall be easy to see, the clearer the plan is, the easier it is to see the information every trades require.

-All dimensions need to be on the plan. You would be surprised how often some parts of the plan doesn't have dimension.

-Sections are an important part of the plan, but too often you end up with a generic page that doesn’t relate to your project. We do all our section per project, and usually supply 3 to 5 of them (depending on the complexity of the project).

-All details should be included, we always have details (except garage and smaller projects) if the details are not on the plan, you risk the chance that they won’t build what you want.

-Plan should be approved for your region, as every province / country have different rules, an American plan can't be built as is, lots of modification is require before it's approved in Canada.

Don't take any chance, and get your project built with a proper set of plan. Visit our website or our page for more information.

For measuring the existing home, we ask that all the doors be open, that way we reduce the contact. We can discuss outside when the weather allow us. No meeting shall take place if any participant show any symptoms related to the COVID-10. We do take safety for all participant really seriously.
