Architect/Engineer/Design Professional to provide stamped deck plans
Posted on 9/25/20 at 2:42 pm
Posted on 9/25/20 at 2:42 pm
I am in the planning process of building a deck. Regretfully I submitted my plans for permitting at the EBR permit office and was told that due to the scope of the project (20' x 20' deck with roof), that I needed plans prepared and stamped by a design professional. Any recommendations on someone that might be willing to do this type of project?

Structural? Drainage? Survey? Did they say exactly what they wanted?

Change the design to 10x20 and then build another one right beside it later.

I believe structural. This was the request "The plans submitted fall outside of the prescriptive 2015 International Residential Code and will require
plans prepared and stamped by a design professional. Please provide a PDF copy of plan to your
reviewer for review."

Is it a square footage limit that triggers the requirement?

How high is the deck? Is the deck and/or roof attached to the house?
They probably need someone to verify the foundation design and/or sufficient anchoring for wind lift of the roof. If one or both portions of the structure are attached directly to the house, it may be considered an addition rather than a freestanding structure, which could have also triggered the requirement.

It's free standing and the floor height is just above grade and the roof will be about 14' at its peak. I guess I can understand the need to have footing calculations confirmed. and structural design also.

That's what I am afraid of. This project may be dead in the water.
