[dmartin1]

ok so i picked up an industrial grade (all solid i beam frame etc) 18x30 steel building garage.roll up door n everything for 2,000 the other day.(score!)

its time for cement,
i want them to pour it,i can do the work on the cement myself,me and my dad.have done several before.have all he materials already.


question is----

what have you guys payed just for the cement to be ppoured? i know it differes place to place,but im just curious to see what general range its in.i know labor has a huge part to do with cost lol

depending on your area, but around here it's $85 - $100 a yard ... depending in the psi

[SevenOne]

90-100 a yard with free delivery for 5 or more yards

cant help with price/but if i were pouring cement floor for a shop floor i'd put a few anchors in so in the future i could winch and pull things around when the need arose

I just did my shop in South carolina and it was 96 a yard.

[bigcow94]

90-100 a yard around here just for the 'crete. anything over 3 yards is free delivery.

[1low]

$110 yrd around here north idaho

Their pouring my shop tomrrow, They dug the 12"x12" footer with a true 4" floor and rebar on 2' centers for 2.50 per foot X 4000 sq ft= 10k. I could have got the cement for 95 bucks x 65 yards= 6175. plus the backhoe work, the forming boards and rebar and probley saved 2500, but me and dad pouring 65 yards would be murder.

I payed $85/yard for 6-sack mud, and there was no extra delivery charges, in addition, I spent another grand to have a crew come in pour/finish the slab for me. Also, I had to get a pump truck for another $300 because the concrete truck couldn't get close enough.

Call around to see what you get for bids. I found that equipment rental places can give recommendations if you don't have somebody lined up already...

120 yd 6 sack. for a full truck. anything less is than 5 is considered a short load and extra $.

Don't know our local prices here but I will
agree with cdowns on placing some anchors
in the floor...studs, rings or whatever.

Called a redneck frame rack.
