Will get additional quotes. The concrete guy also does his own site work. He’s poured slabs in the area for over 40 years

Ty for the great replies. Virginia Northern Neck. The guy came recommended from a close friend. Still wanted to double with y’all but seems like it’s a reasonable quote. Thank you all for the feedback!

Zero knowledge of slabs and welcome insight into if this is standard/fair quote. $22k total 40x48 slab 5.5 in 4K psi 12inch footer #4 rebar 33 ton gravel Moisture barrier 2 inch foam board

Thank you for the info. For fiberglass, can you walk me through the layers from exterior metal to interior wall? Is that metal, house wrap, air gap or no gap, faced fiberglass (which direction), vapor barrier, interior wall which is corrugated metal? What about under the roof if I don’t plan an...

I spoke with dripstop and they said do not use their product if I’m spray foaming which makes sense

Yes they have a machine that does it during installation.

Great I’ll reach back out and see if I can do that instead. Is it safe to spray foam the wrap and not direct to metal? Can this cause moisture issues?

After additional research and estimates I’ve updated my building. 40x50x14 from American metal garages in NC. It’s been recommended to disregard the drop ceiling/blow-in cellulose and instead spray the walls and roof with close cell spray foam. This will be a finished/climate controlled space...

If you use the dripstop, spray foam will not void rust warranty, if you spray directly on steel, it will void.

Thank you for the feedback
