My 30 x 40

[formek]

I am getting all my ducks in a row to start my shop. I will be a 30 x 40 metal bulding with a 40 x 40 foundation. the foundation is what I have question about. It was to be 4" thick with #3 re bar 16 on center with perimeter beam with #5 re bar in the beams then 2 interior beams with #5 re bar also.

I just got back from the engineer who told me that the foundation is minimum for this bulding. This is what the builder said would be plenty. The engineer said I need to have Post-Tensioning foundation in stead of re bar.

Is this over kill or right on? Cost is an issue but should not be the only issue.

I hired a decent concrete contractor who figured that all out for me. I paid $8200 for 30x50 for the concrete.

The company that built my building sucked!!! But, I did find a good contractor out of Farmersville that fixed it!!

Send me a private message you would like some names and numbers....

If you haven't signed any contracts, it couldn't hurt to call them.

Sorry, I just saw this!!!

The contractor was Heartland Steel Buildings.

The manufacturer was Nucor. Your right, Heartland screwed it up...

I'm probrably within 15-20 miles of you both... and I'm going to build a 30x36 this year...(pole barn style -on a budget---meaning, I'm doing all but the concrete pour). I'll send pm's on who you would recommend for concrete. I have yet to do any dirt work... but I'm gonna get there. My shop will be nothing special, galvalume 5 rib metal (bought from a company in Celeste). If you need any help, If I can, I will.
Oh, and I have a concrete company within 4 miles of me.. (Rhyno used to be there as well... but they went bankrupt)

I had a local guy price it then I got someone to put the bulding up an had them price it with concrete and without. the price was right so I am going with the concrete guy of the contractor. I will let you know after the work is done.

Thanks for the offer

Hey formek, any updates on your building? I'm building a new house, outside of Melissa.
I have a 24x36 pole barn, already on my property. It has a dirt floor, that I want to pour
concrete in. I would also like the build my dream shop, and just use the pole barn for the
tractor and overflow. But got to get the house built first..

The bulding is up. I will post some photos. work has stalled got to much going on.

I fully understand about the house.
