Can I attach a residential deck ledger to brick veneer?

Answer

NO. Do not support deck ledgers on masonry veneer.

IRC R507.9.1.1 directly prohibits deck ledgers supported on stone or masonry veneer. Use a freestanding deck or engineered connection.

Field workflow

Built for answerable code questions, not generic chat.

The interface keeps search, source retrieval, table extraction, and synthesis in one compact workbench so users can inspect the answer trail quickly.

01 / Retrieval

Search like a code official asks.

Plain-language questions resolve to source-matched evidence inside a chat-only research flow.

02 / Harness

Agent research with evidence attached.

The response path keeps the cheap search pass separate from deeper tool-backed synthesis so answers can cite the material that mattered.

03 / Xrefs

Cross-references stay visible.

Related requirements surface as retrieved references instead of disappearing into a generic assistant response.

04 / Tables

Tables are treated as structured data.

Pipe support, egress, construction, and equipment tables render as searchable rows rather than screenshots.

Deployable search desk

Start with the workbench, upgrade when the questions become daily.

Free keeps the lookup surface available. Pro is for inspectors, builders, and code researchers who need frequent agent-backed answers and saved threads.
