DESIGN WORK
All of the structures depicted
in this website were designed, as well as built, by Mr. Deck unless
otherwise indicated. Obviously,
those in the Critiques were not.
Design work is offered
on a contract basis only. The deliverable is one blue-line hard-copy
drawing to scale. Use of the design is restricted to one unit's
construction.
We don't design projects
for others to build themselves or hire someone else to build for them
without our providing the decking material or prefabricating the complete
arbor. All design work must be associated with a project that Mr. Deck
will prefabricate, furnish the materials and ship to the job-site.
For projects within our
local area of operation,
the minimum design work
fee is $300 and generally does not exceed $500 per structure for
residential projects.
Outside
our local area of
operation, the minimum design work fee is $500. Design work
beyond the fixed fee scope of work is charged at $65/hr.

Below is a
deck project designed by Mr. Deck and built in Smithfield Virginia in
2008 by a local contractor there, entitled the Stein Project. It uses
our turned solid-plastic
balusters and
plastic newels and our all
solid-plastic PrimoPlank 1-inch thick
decking.
