Gwinnett County building permits — week of May 18–22, 2026
Dear Gwinnett,
A quiet week. The county filed 196 permits — $29M worth of construction across 12 cities.
Fabri Constructors pulled a $1.2M permit for Acreage off Camp Branch Rd, Buford. That's the biggest of 2 permits filed here this week, about $1.3M across the project — a sign the whole site is moving at once. The footprint is 6,590 sq ft. At roughly $189/sq ft in declared cost, that's mid-tier for a new home in this area. A custom build this size typically runs 14 to 20 months from permit to certificate of occupancy.
The rest of the week spread out the way Gwinnett usually does: 111 residential filings (50 of them brand-new builds) and 26 commercial. Taylor Morrison Of was the busiest name on the stack.
If you only look at one thing this week, make it the full record — all 196 filings, laid out plain. The county tells you everything; you just have to read it.
See you Friday,
P.S. — Also this week: Chick-Fil-A in Stone Mountain ($1.4M across 5 permits), Everson Woods in Snellville ($990K), and Club View in Dacula ($927K).
P.P.S. — 12 cities filed this week; Lawrenceville led the stack.
The full record — all 196 permits
