Calgary deck inspection & permitting

Calgary homeowners that are looking to upgrade or create their outdoor living space by building a deck, must take note of local building permits.A building permit can serve more than one purpose, they ensure the decks are compliant with zoning bylaws, safe for friends and family and protects homeowners from poor building practices.

 

If your uncovered deck is higher than 0.6m (2’-0”) above grade at any point, a building permit will be required for any of the following scenarios:

 

  • You are building a new deck
  • You are replacing, rebuilding, or extending an existing deck
  • You are replacing any structural components of an existing deck
  • You are adding stairs to an existing deck

walkout decks

The walkout deck gives homeowners the option of being able to entertain outdoors on multiple levels. Both the upper deck and lower portion can offer equal levels of entertainment. Adding deck stairs to get from your deck to your under-deck living area easily is the key to a successful space. This gives the feeling of a separate room setting that flows together.

This gives homeowners the convenience of providing easy access to outdoor features such as, alfresco dining, add a pergola to create some shade or a fire pit to entertain into the night.
