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.
We currently have a concrete patio off our house that had settled and is sloping towards our houses foundation (when it rains water pools at the foundation). We would like to have it torn out and a new wood patio put in. Right now we walk down 2 steps to get to our patio and with the new wood one we would like it to be level with the house.

We have a rectangular deck 18' x 22' with a 3' rail on one 22' side and two 5' wide steps. We would like bids on composite decking. The joists are currently 24" on center.
