Deck Builder in Dacula, GA
Our home town. Composite decks, pool decks with stone fireplaces, screened porches and sunrooms for Dacula homes, with the city or Gwinnett County permit handled for you.
Decks, porches and sunrooms for Dacula homes
Sands Construction Group is based in Dacula. The pool deck with the stone fireplace and the upper-and-lower deck with skirting on this page are both Dacula homes, and we've been building decks, porches and sunrooms around Hamilton Mill, Hebron and the rest of 30019 since 2008.
Being local means quick estimates, a crew that knows the city's and Gwinnett County's inspectors, and a builder you can find after the job is done.
Deck permits in Dacula and Gwinnett County
The City of Dacula issues building permits only for properties inside the city limits. Deck construction is one of the permit categories on the city's building permit application, and the city uses a third-party inspector for footing, framing, electrical and final inspections.
Most Dacula addresses are in unincorporated Gwinnett County. Gwinnett requires a building permit before any deck construction on a one- or two-family home. The steps: Gwinnett Environmental Health approval of the deck location if the home is on septic, a scaled Deck Addition Location Plan reviewed for setbacks, easements and stream buffers, then the permit itself. Footing and electrical rough-in inspections must pass before the final, and a Certificate of Completion is issued at the end.
We prepare the location plan and drawings, handle the septic sign-off if you need it, and schedule every inspection.

Yes. Sands Construction Group is based in Dacula and Buford. Two of the projects on this page are Dacula homes.
Inside the city limits, the City of Dacula. Outside them, which is most of 30019, Gwinnett County Planning and Development in Lawrenceville. We check your address and handle whichever applies.
Not a problem, but it's a step: Gwinnett Environmental Health has to approve the deck location so it doesn't sit over the tank or drain field. We handle that before the permit.
Yes. We prepare the drawings and material information the architectural review committee asks for, and we've been through the process many times.
