Our calculations are accurate for decks up to 40 feet in length and width. The framing designs are based on the 2015 International Building Code (IBC), which is widely accepted across many states.

Our app allows users to input the dimensions of their deck—length, width, and height—to generate detailed information about the framing materials needed. This includes: Type of lumber required. Quantity of lumber. Beam spans and lengths.

While our app provides framing designs based on the 2015 IBC, it’s essential to double-check the design with your local and state building codes. Building departments may have additional requirements.

No, the app focuses exclusively on the framing components necessary for code compliance and building permits. It does not estimate deck boards, fascia boards, screws, or other miscellaneous materials.

Our primary goal is to simplify the process of creating code-compliant framing plans. These plans are essential for obtaining building permits and serve as a foundation for constructing your deck. Estimating additional materials like deck boards and screws is outside the scope of the app.

The app uses the 2015 IBC as a standard, which is accepted in many states. However, local codes and regulations may vary. Always verify your design with your local building department to ensure compliance.

You’ll need to know the desired length, width, and height of your deck. Input these measurements into the app, and it will generate the framing details.

Currently, the app is optimized for rectangular deck designs. Support for irregular shapes may be added in future updates.

The framing plan can be submitted to your local building department as part of your permit application. It provides the required details for structural compliance, which are typically reviewed during the permitting process.

Our app offers free access to basic framing measurements. For additional features, such as 3D framing plans, a paid version may be required. Pricing details can be found within the app.

No, the app does not factor in regional climate or soil conditions. These factors should be evaluated by a professional to ensure the deck’s stability and longevity.

If you need assistance or have questions, you can reach out to our support team through the app. We’re here to help make your deck framing process as smooth as possible. You can reach us at info@framify.ai

We limit the cantilever length to 2 feet, even though it can be up to 20% of the total beam length. This is because, in our experience, 2 feet is the maximum cantilever length commonly accepted by most states, counties, and townships. This ensures that your design adheres to widely recognized standards and simplifies the permitting process.
