Design a deck that passes inspection.
DeckForge turns a few measurements into a framing plan, checks it against the international residential code and your local rules, and hands you a permit-ready plan set. No downloads, no guesswork — save it, come back, and refine it any time.
Design it
A guided form — size, height, framing, railings, stairs — draws your deck's framing plan as you type.
Check the code
Every design is measured against IRC 2021 and AWC DCA6: guards, spans, footings, ledger, stairs. Each issue cites the code and how to fix it.
Match your town
Pick your location and the checks use your local frost depth, soil, adopted code edition, and amendments.
Export a permit set
One click produces a plan drawing, a materials cut list, and a compliance report — ready to submit.
Guidance based on IRC 2021 §R507 and AWC DCA6. DeckForge helps you prepare a submission — it is not a substitute for review and approval by your local building department.
