Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT The Hobby Shop - Down in the Holler (24'x32')

Installed the electrical/CAT6 conduits. Purchased the Pella windows.

Acquired three estimates to have a 32’ X 24’ slick 4” slab poured at 4000psi (about 10 yards) The requirements of the estimates needed to include the following; check for final grade (I have a pile of 1/2” stone if any areas need leveling), pumper truck needed, fill the interior of the cinder blocks not already done (3 to 4 yards), All 3 estimates range between $6500 to $6900. WOW! Frankly, I wasn’t expecting that much.

I'd be all over that price for that much concrete. That works out to $9 a sqft. But I would go thicker for the floor, at least 5".

I played around with the DUCK browser AI program after your response and it agrees with you. $9 bucks a sqft is in the medium range. The estimates I received appear to be on point. How the times/costs have changed since my last build in 2013. I'm considering your recommendation of a 5" slab. It would be an additional 2 yards of cement. The benefits of 5" vs. 4" are appealing.

You couldn’t compare 2019 prices with today’s price. I cringe about how much i will spend on concrete compare to what it would have cost in 2019.
