How this website is different

This website is totally unique to New Zealand. At the time of writing there is no other website in NZ that makes is possible to generate a complete set of deck drawings.

There is however a few websites that can create deck drawings in the United States. Though its true can create some amazing photorealistic rendered images (I don't want to knock this) there are drawbacks:

• You cannot export a drawing into a format that can be imported into a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program.
• Some of the websites are not able to create a set of detailed drawings for a permit.
• Its debatable whether the designs are providing enough information for local authorities if they are able to produce a drawing at all.
• None of these were able to create a site plan, nor add the client’s details into the title block.
• Some of the programs had questionable designs i.e. a flight of exterior stairs 3.9m high without any midway supports for the stringers.

With the ROBO Deck Designer the entire set of drawings are designed to comply with all aspects of the relevant New Zealand building codes. The drawings generated by ROBO Deck Designer are extremely detailed and make references the relevant code. It is possible to export the drawings into CAD software using an Autocad Script file which is generated when the drawings are completed. There is the option to include a site plan with the drawings.
