Working with the local building department is an absolute necessity when you’re planning any kind of home improvement including adding a deck or a patio. The building plan has to be approved and a building permit obtained before you can get started on your project. The local building department will look at the overall deck size, the height off the ground, and the position of the deck relative to property lines, the size and location of framing before they approve the plan. They will also look at the soil type and the kind of wood you’re using along with the method of framing that is being used. When they are convinced that the building plan meets the code and bylaws, they will issue you a building permit for a fee.
Hi. I have a large elevated deck that wraps around a single-family home. I have concerns about the structural integrity of the deck, so I'd like to find out if it's safe, and if not, how much it would cost to make it safe. Thanks in advance!

We need a 14 x 24 wood deck replaced. It lies between two rooms that extend out from the house.
