Due to the high volume of deck estimates we do every year we would like to inform you of our policies upon estimating for deck projects. Free Estimates: We are pleased to offer free estimates to customers that have a plan of what they are looking for to complete their deck project. The drawing must indicate scale and of a size that allows it to be faxed or emailed to our offices. The drawing will indicate outside dimensions, stair location and if possible height above grade. From this sketch we can determine the square footage, the type of material used for construction and the amount of railing and lattice skirting. Building permits are required for decks above 24� in height from grade. Your address will give us an idea of the digging conditions in your yard and any complications we may have with the foundation. This allows our customer�s to quickly compare prices if they have several contractors bidding on their project. We are pleased to offer this service at no charge. If we are awarded the contract from this estimate we will visit the site and review any revisions with the customer at the time of signing. Estimates and design: For those customer�s who are not sure of the design of their deck, we specialize in custom design and would be very interested in giving you the best deck for your location. We will set aside approximately one hour to have an initial consultation with you at your home. We will survey the site and take all measurements that help determine the design of your deck. We will review the various material options for decks and your requirements. We will put a sketch together based on the location and your specific needs. From this visit we will be able to put a cost estimate together for your project. Written quotations with sketches are charged per hour (see below) Building Permits: The newly amalgamated City of Ottawa requirements for deck construction allow decks to be constructed under 24� above grade to be exempt from a building permit. All decks above 24� above grade require a building permit. Preparation for application includes: Drafted sketches of foundation, floor plan, construction section, elevations, engineering notes. Building Permit preparation: From $300 depending on the size of the project. Note: This does not include the City of Ottawa permit fees. How do I prepare for an estimate?Here are 5 steps to follow when preparing for an estimate for your deck project: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5
