We design and build steel-framed decks and outdoor living spaces for residential clients across the U.S. Our team moves quickly, values craftsmanship, and depends on clear, reliable communication.

-Implement redlines from PDFs, photos, or sketches with accurate revision tracking

-Solid understanding of wood framing, composite decking, steel connections, and deck code requirements
-Ability to produce clear construction details (including cross-sections) that crews can build from
-Strong organizational skills with version control and revision workflows
-Clear and reliable English communication (verbal and written)
-Stable, high-quality internet connection for consistent collaboration
-Proficiency in U.S. customary units (feet and inches)
Deliverables:

-Editable Chief Architect files
-DWG/DXF exports
-3D views and renderings
Ideal Candidate:

-Able to meet fast turnaround times without sacrificing accuracy
-Proactively ensures files are organized and accessible for team collaboration
Important Considerations:
