Another Deck Pricing Question

fullhouse

I am a kitchen and bath guy but I have a customers neighbor who has purchased the lumber already and wants me to give him a price on building his all PT deck. Hartford county Connecticut.
It is 12x16. 12' side attached to house via 2x12 ledger.
he has a triple 2x12 beam on 2 6x6 posts 14' out parallel from house.
2x10 joists 12" OC cantilevered with 2 feet overhang for 16' total.
5/4 decking.
he wants no stairs and no railing. just 4x4 every 4 feet to support railing after he decides on what he wants. Is 4 feet ok or can it be 8'.
also the deck is around 10 -12' in the air. 2nd story.
I dont even think it will pass inspection.
No stairs on 2nd story deck?
I am also thinking the joists should be doubled 2x10 to span 14'.
Are 2 6x6 posts enough on 42" concrete frost line piers. I am thinking 3 6x6 4' apart with diaganol bracing to span the beam 12'.
He has purchased the lumber minus the 4x4's and wants me to supply all the hangers, screws, hardware etc.
I am thinking around $3500+ for labor & hardware.
Like I said I am a kitchen and bath remodeler but have been toying with the idea of expanding services.
Is this price way off base?
What would be a fair price?
Thanks for your speedy responses. Great site!

2x10 will span 15'5 at 16"oc with 40psf live/10psf dead. Why would they need stairs? Does the building code call for the deck to be a secondary means of egress? Is it a multifamily home? You should be able to span 8' between 4x4 posts. Most composite and vinyl rail manufacturers sell 6' and 8' rail sections. In my area the height of that second floor railing would have to be a minimum of 42" Good Luck!!

3 2x12's can span 12' for a total of 2 posts.
2x12 joists would be a good choice.
He wants support post every 4', I would do so because it will just make the railing stronger being as high as it is in the air.

I think it is a fair price.
