I need a skilled contractor to evaluate and suggest necessary modifications on a project under construction, a cantilevered wooden deck primarily for entertainment. The deck will be situated lakeside, enhancing the view and experience. Key Requirements: - The structure must extend from an existing beam, which is 12 ft above a poured concrete footing and 5 ft wall and currently spans 14 ft. The deck has an 8 ft backspan. It is planned for a 4 ft cantilever. The beam is Prowood Truframe 2x12. - The design must account for the proximity to the water and ensure safety and stability. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Expertise in cantilevered structures - Proficiency in woodworking and deck construction - Experience with lakeside construction projects - Knowledge of local building codes and regulations I'm hoping to schedule a paid phone conference prior to extensive planning/design. I'm interested in examples of similar projects.

Hello, I am interested in evaluating your lakeside cantilevered wood deck project. I have experience with structural evaluation and design of wood decks, beams, cantilevered structures, and residential construction. I can review the existing 2x12 Truframe beam, 8 ft backspan, proposed 4 ft cantilever, connections, load path, and supporting foundation to determine whether modifications or reinforcement are required. I understand the importance of the lakeside environment and can account for applicable building-code, loading, durability, and safety requirements. I would be happy to begin with a paid phone consultation to discuss the existing construction and proposed design before proceeding with detailed planning. I can also provide relevant examples of similar structural work. Please share the project location, existing drawings, and photos of the beam/deck construction so I can better understand the current condition and prepare for the consultation. Thank you.
