Determine the length and width along with the height off of the ground. Decide the approximate weight the platform is intended to hold. If this is a deck for use by people, it must be constructed according to applicable building codes. Visit your local home improvement center and they will work up a material list and prices.
Many of them will also generate a drawing for you in just a few minutes using a computer drawing/estimating program.
Good luck with your project.
