Deck Building Permits in Ontario
Planning to build a deck? In Ontario, most decks require a building permit — especially if the deck surface is more than 24 inches (600 mm) above grade, is attached to the house, or includes structural elements like railings and stairs. Sandhu Design Build prepares complete deck permit drawings.
About Our Deck Permit Services
Deck permit drawings must show compliance with the Ontario Building Code for structural capacity, guard heights, stair dimensions, connections to the house, and foundation requirements. We produce complete drawing sets including site plans showing deck location and setbacks, deck framing plans, elevation drawings, and construction details for footings, beams, joists, guards, and stairs.
