The best by far I found for building a deck is to use the free lowes deck builder. Please note that you still must check for local building code before proceeding. This will also compile a complete part list. I have used this site for two decks and works like a charm. http://lowes.ca/howto/deck_designer.aspx

What is the square foot price to build a deck?
It really depends on the size, materials, and how complex the design is, but most decks fall somewhere in the range of $30 to $80+ per square foot. A basic pressure-treated wood deck will be on the lower end, while composite or PVC decking, along with features like railings, stairs, lighting, or built-ins, can push the cost higher. Things like elevation, foundation work, and site access can also affect pricing more than people expect. Honestly, the best way to get an accurate number is to have a couple of local contractors take a look at your space. I’ve noticed some builders (like Minneapolis Decks) share helpful info and examples online, which can give you a rough idea of pricing before you start getting quotes.
