Edmonton decks building can be simple or complex depending on the size, height and design of the deck you are building. Hiring the right Contractor will be important inorder to have your new deck built right and meet all City requirements. Furthermore, in Edmonton, building a new deck will need to meet Edmonton decks design guideline, Edmonton Zoning Bylaw and building codes. Designing your new deck to meet Edmonton’s decks to City’s strict requirements will ensures that the use of the deck is safe and structurally sound.
Building a new deck in Edmonton will also require the City of Edmonton Development and Building Permits. It is important to submit your deck design and deck drawings to the City of Edmonton for permit approval prior to constructing your deck. Without Development and Building Permits’ approval for your new deck, you cannot build the deck.
Again, depending on the design, height and size of your new deck, structural Engineering design maybe required to submit to the City for the Permits as well.
Once the deck is approved for both the Development and Building Permits, a final City of Edmonton deck inspection is required. Any deficiency found by the City inspection to your new deck will result in a fail inspection. A fail inspection means you cannot occupy and use the new deck until the deficiencies are corrected and re-inspected by the City.
When final inspection is passed, your new deck can then be occupied and used.
Tips:
- Prepare a site plan showing the location and size of the new deck

- Ensure to prepare the correct drawings and plans to submit to the City for permit approval
- Do not construct your new deck until the City has approved the Development and Building Permits
