SHT-D4 / About this tool

A free NJ deck design & framing tool from a working drafting firm

Deck Studio lets New Jersey contractors and homeowners set deck dimensions and instantly see the framing plan, deck plan, front and side elevations, and a 3D view — with joist counts, girder rows, post and footing layout, stair risers and guard requirements computed against the 2021 IRC (NJ edition) and the AWC DCA 6 prescriptive tables.

What the takeoff includes

Joists at 16" or 12" on center with sizes stepped by span, (3)2x10 girders with posts held 1'-6" from the deck edges, footing counts and diameters at 36" below grade (at or below NJ frost depth; your township's exact figure is confirmed in the permit set), ledger and lateral-load hold-downs on attached decks, decking lineal footage with 12% waste, railing footage, and stair stringers with 8" sonotube footings.

From design to a permit set

Everything on screen is preliminary and not for construction. When you're ready to build, Santino Drafting & Design turns your exact dimensions into a full 18"x24" residential permit set — framing and footing plan, deck plan, elevations, sections and connection details — drawn to what your NJ township asks for, at a flat fee from $750, typically back in 2–5 business days. Serving all 21 New Jersey counties from Toms River.
