$400 in parts and $2-300 for labor I live in the southeastern U.S. and you wont get a deck built here for that price. You need to consider the height from the ground,do you want hand rails around it ? In some counties and cities you have to put hand rails on it if it,s so many inches off the ground. Do you want steps?.

Is it ok to attach a pressure-treated joist directly to a concrete slab as a foundation for a deck and should it be epoxied or bolted down?
You can set the joist directly into a 3 or 4 foot hole filled with concrete, however the life expectancy of the joist is about half when it does not come in contact with the ground at all. On my house I set them on metal brackets then epoxied the bracket bolt into the concrete. With pressure treated lumber this post will be "good as new" for 25 years. Depending on the area I have seen concrete ones disintegrate in 3-8 years.
