Deck Design in 3D
This offers a glimpse into our design work. When we draw yours, you are able to interact with it: turn it, get underneath it, strip it back to the framing, zoom - most of what decides how long a deck lasts is the part you stop being able to see on the day it is finished.
Use the buttons to strip the deck back through the stages it gets built in, and tap a numbered marker to read what it is pointing at.
A drawing settles the arguments early
A deck that gets drawn first is a deck where the awkward questions come up in front of a screen instead of in front of a half-built frame. Where the stairs land, how the angle at the corner works, whether the beam wants another pile under it, what the picture frame does when it meets the jog in the house. All of that is cheap to change in a model and expensive to change once the lumber is on site.
It also means the number we give you is priced off something real. The framing you can see above is where our material list comes from, so the joists, the beams, the piles and the hardware are counted off the same model you are looking at (and not estimated off a sketch and a hope).
How it works, and what it costs
We walk your yard, take the measurements, and talk through what you want the space to do. Then we build the model, pick the materials with you, and put a firm price against it. You see the design before you commit to a build.
The design is a paid step, and the fee is credited in full toward your project when you sign. What it costs depends on how much there is to draw, so the tiers are set out on our pricing page. Not every project needs one, and we are happy to tell you honestly if yours does not.
