A cantilevered hillside deck — spot elevations, slope profile, and PE-sealed pier design in one package that skipped the usual correction rounds.
A cantilevered deck on a Colorado Springs hillside with 9 ft of grade change required an engineered site plan — pier depths into slope, snow-load notes for the 7,000-ft elevation, and setbacks verified where the lot lines ran diagonally downslope.
We produced the site plan with the deck geometry, spot elevations at each pier, the slope profile line, and drainage direction — then coordinated the Colorado-licensed PE's pier sizing and 40 PSF ground-snow-load design notes onto the same sealed sheet set.
Pikes Peak Regional Building approved the package first-pass — a submission type their intake staff told the owner is usually good for two correction rounds.
Use these free planning tools for an early check, then confirm every limit, definition, and submittal requirement with the local authority having jurisdiction.
Local-rule reminder: tool results and project examples are planning aids, not an approval guarantee. Your building or planning department makes the final determination.
