I know this will vary depending on area of the country but can you guys give a ballpark figure on cost of pouring the floor for a 30x40? It's charged by the cu. yard, correct?

Thanks for your input!

At 6" thick you will need 18 CY= cubic yards. without any footer.
A FRICKING $1.00 a yard no way down here that would cost you atleast.
1200 sf= 18 cy @ $135.00 per yard = $2430 JUST IN Concrete only!:eek:
My cost as a builder now thats for 4000 psi pump mix.
And labor down here would be atleast $1.25 per SF= $1500.

Now with 2500 psi mix would be $ 1980.00
JUST IN Concrete only!:eek:

I sell 4000 mix with labor for $ 6.75 per SF
and for 2500 mix would be $ 5.50 per SF
Labor included.
And when the chute is clean I want your green in my hand, LOL

buddy of mine just had the floor in his 30 by 50 foot building poured, including a pair of footers for under a car lift complete with mounting bolts anchored in the crete. $6 grand and they did a heck of a job. He also had a pad for an air compressor and a heat pump formed and poured. 3 yard of concrete. total bill including materials and labor $490.

It sounds like the building was already up, true? That's one of the things I was also curious to hear if it can be done.

This is an existing steel pole type building on a property I was looking at buying but the dirt floor is a definite deal breaker at this point. Just trying to weigh my options. The place has a lot of potential but I might be better off continuing to look.

you havent said if its a pole building or stick built.

i think you guys with the cheap prices are just talking about a slab for a pole barn.

a real stick built garage will have to have a footer and that makes the price go up.

mine was for a pole barn, but even if stick built the footers should be poured first anyway.then block and construction then the slab..at least that is how I do them

Here in Wisconsin for a garge floor slab you would be looking at about $2.55 per square foot total cost. So figure 1200 sq. ft at $2.55 PSF, cost would be around $3060 poured. Now if you wanted a grade beam, which you wouldn't need because it is a pole shed, the cost goes up to about $3.45 psf.
