Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Check a plan to build a deck or patio. Dimensions, materials, site conditions and drawings described: [DECK_PLAN]. Local conditions such as frost or drainage: [SITE_CONDITIONS]. My experience and tools: [EXPERIENCE_TOOLS]. Check that the load and foundation approach is considered by someone qualified, drainage, fixings, finishes, approvals, utilities location checks, and safety during construction. Flag where a professional or inspection is likely required. Do not give engineering specifications. Return a table with Element, Question and Risk (red, amber, green), and a checklist for contacting the authority and utility locators. Rules are [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Also suggest photographs of the site before starting, a list of questions for the local authority and utility locator service, and a simple maintenance plan after building. Add reminders about safe handling of materials and the importance of professional advice for structural elements. Safety first: for electrical, gas, structural or load-bearing work say plainly when a licensed professional or permit is needed, and tag the rule [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Treat costs as estimates.
