Is there anything like this: https://www.cochrane.ca/DocumentCenter/View/2894 for City of Calgary? Guidelines to the deck building code? I've searched a ton and can't find anything.. I feel like im just missing it somehow haha.. :banghead:

Edit: sorry I should just point out I'm looking for Post/Beam/Joist size/spacing requirments. Thanks!

You would want to look at the Alberta Building Code for those requirements.

In that case, any of the rockyview standards would be sufficient then for Calgary I guess eh. Essentially I could use the Cochrane one as a guideline?

The Cochrane stuff looks like it comes out of the Alberta Building Code. Yes use that as a template.
When you file for your building permit the inspector will tell you what is wrong before issuing the permit.
