Our drafting and design firm mission is to make sure that every customer is pleased and happy with the plans that were drafted for the project. In order to follow through with our plan, we have various services that all work together to help make the consumer experience the best possible. Our services include: computer-aided design and drafting, new construction, extensions, renovations, decks, dormers, and many more. We are able to fulfill every need for our customers. 

Our plan for drafting & designing your next project is to understand the task or question, which will allow us to determine the focus and direction of the assignment. Planning for your drafting assignment is a big part so that we’ll know how long we should devote to the assignment and steadily work at it, taking time to think about ways we can complete the tasks. Drafts are essential checkpoints where you can review your progress and determine if the assignment is on track.

Decks don’t have to be attached to the house; they can lead to new vistas, private retreats and little nooks in the garden. The ipe deck includes a custom powder-coated steel planter with native and drought-resistant perennials and shrubs. Outdoor rooms used for relaxation and entertaining can be lit in a similar way to indoors with low-level lamps and mini spots to highlight decorative elements.

Wood, either treated or naturally weather- and insect-resistant, is what is traditionally thought of for deck materials. However, composite decking is making inroads into deck building. The initial cost is higher, but over time you can actually save money when compared to cleaning, refinishing and ultimately replacing wood deck boards. Study your local building codes and get a permit if needed. This is usually the case for a deck over a particular height and total size. You don’t want to run into a problem later if you sell your house, and the beautiful deck you’ve spent years enjoying becomes a deal-breaker. Plus, you’ll want to make sure it’s safe and secure for loved ones and visitors.

First, decide where you want your deck to be placed – attached to a back door, a second story, freestanding, etc. Then develop a design. Some home centers have design software that can help you design your deck and automatically create a list of materials based upon that design. For decks attached to a home, you must have the ledger set properly. This is the large beam, usually a 2×8, 2×10, or 2×12, attached to the structure of the home, and to which the deck substructure is attached. This, along with the footings, is a key component of a solid, safe and level deck. As with the footings, check with local building codes.

Town of Oyster Bay Expeditors offers drafting, design, expediting and legalization for building permits. We also can apply for Variance, Certificate of Occupancy and legalize any existing structures.
