Do I need a BCIN Designer For My Deck?

In short, if you are the homeowner, you do not legally need a BCIN designer for your deck, but there are many benefits to using a BCIN licensed designer when planning your deck. Sometimes going through all the regulations and bylaws in your municipality can be confusing. A BCIN designer is already familiar with these. At House of Three, we offer pre-designed deck plans that can fit almost any yard! Additionally, we can help you create a custom deck plan to design the deck of your dreams!

Pre-Designed Deck Plans
There are many benefits to using pre-designed deck plans. By choosing to use a plan, all aspects of the build will be safe, accurate, and up to building code. You won’t have to worry about measuring multiple sections of the deck, ensuring that the proper supports and railings are implemented, and that the correct material is used. These are all portions of the build that are regulated by the Ontario Building Code. 

Overall, pre-designed deck plans are timesavers. Everything regarding the design itself will be correct and accurate, making the submission process easier.

Custom Deck Plans
Do you have a dream deck in mind? Using a BCIN designer can help you with that! Depending on your location and the extent of your build, a BCIN designer can visit your building and help take measurements to ensure that each and every detail of your deck build is accurate! This may require an extra fee so make sure you double check with your designer first. 

Sometimes there are wants that cannot be added to a build based on the regulations of your municipality, or for overall structural integrity. A BCIN designer can work alongside you to figure out how to effectively create your dream build, while also following all rules and regulations.

Using a BCIN designer to help you plan your deck is an amazing opportunity to make the entire deck installation process go as smoothly as possible! Our office can also help you go through the submission process for  an additional fee. If you are interested in building a deck, take a look at the pre-designed plans we have made!
