In this project, our team, Squared A-Way Engineering, is redesigning a residential deck for a house located within the City of Helena near the base of Mt. Helena. The current deck structure has exceeded its design life and is in disrepair. Based on an assessment of the existing deck, it no longer meets current building codes and permitting requirements for the state of Montana. With that said, the owner is no longer comfortable using the deck for outdoor gatherings. Our team has produced a design that replaces the entirety of the structure with new and improved material and adds visual and structural enhancements. This presentation is an illustration of our final design, including cost estimate, analysis, drawings, and calculations.
