Ok I Just got a price not sure if this is right????

the building is 24X31=744(sf)

The guy said $600 dollars in Labor.... and $91 dollars a yard

SO 744(SF)= 82.666yards

So $91 X 82(yards)= $7,462 + $600(labor)= $8,062 :shock:

Is that to much??? :confused:

doesnt quite work like that, a yard of concrete will cover 81 sq feet at a depth of 4 inches, you will have to find out how thick you need it to be to figure out a price, when they say yard it is a cubic yard of concrete, assuming you only need it 4" deep it would be:

744/81= 9.18

9.18x91=835.85

835.85+600=$1435.85

I think im correct on this but could have missed somthing, its been a while since ive messed with this stuff

[KRYPTONITE]

yea its gonna be 4" deep

Thanks that sounds better... I figured I was looking at it wrong

I thought buildings and garages had to have a 6" thick floor, and even thicker under any post in the garage if you have them.

Maybe it's 4" for Mustang and 6" for LTD?

If I was putting up a steel building I would use 6" but what I doing I think I can get away with 4" well atleast I hope so

Probably so, she is heavy..:bigthumb:

Marcus,

I'm making the assumption you are building a garage. If so, then your going to need something thicker than 4". You will need footers a minimum of 18" deep and 18" wide around the perimeter. I wouldn't go any less than 6" deep. Just my opinion, but I'm basing this on my detached garage that was built 2 years ago. If your doing something different, then maybe 4" will do ya.

[WWhittle]

9.18 yards if its 4" with no footings.
13.77 yards if its 6" with no footings.

What are you building? If you need footings, you will need more concrete. If you need footings, you will need rebar- does his price include that?

If it's 4", it should be about $3.00/ square foot to grade, form and pour.

I need the same thing. How big was your job, and how much? I need 12x40 next to my existing driveway.

Sorry Mike, I just saw your question, guess I don't notified all the time...lol. I know it's too late but mine was 7x32 and he charged $900

I'm trying to get in touch with Troy to do some more concrete work but I called a few days ago and left a message with not return and just called now and his mailbox if full. Does anyone know him personally? Is he still doing concrete work?

Thanks
Jim

Not sure who he would thank. I just wanted to clarify that.

Like the last few girls I slept with said to me, 4 inches just aint gonna work.

[98Camarod]

The company my dad works for is doing alot of work in charleston. They are based out of bluffton, sc (by hilton head). If you want a price, let me know and I can give you their number. They do great work. I worked with them for almost 2 years. Be prepared though, concrete is expensive.

You can have everything else 4" with exception of the footings for the walls and have a "footing" around where the posts will be. On my uncles garage that we did years ago, there's a 2'x2' section that's 8" thick where the posts are. It's been like that for atleast 6 years and that concrete has survived. It's on it's second building since the first got burnt down a few years ago.

Yep. That will work, just fine. But simply pouring a 4" pad will not.

ok what ever i have the same thing and mine is 4" and i work on it all the time . and he is putting up the same thing i have . so he dont need to speen all that money on shit he dont need. but on the other hand if he is putting in a lift and going to billed a big shop by cods and put a lift then yes to the footers and 12".but its his money so it dont matter.:bigthumb:

Keep being awesome Mark.

yes sir... would like his #,

Thanks

I called and talked to my dad. He says that they've been doing commercial work, but he's going to ask and see what he says. Do you have plans for it? I'm assuming it'll need turndowns and rebar, termite spray, poly, and concrete wire. I'll let you know what he says though.

[KRYPTONITE]

ok Thanks

[WWhittle]

I would guess between $2200 and $2800 for that square footage, turned down on edge, with footings in place for lift. That should include the grading beforehand as well, assuming you don't need any fill. You don't have to turn it down on edge, but I would. If you don't you will risk wash out at 4", not to mention it's not as strong (obviously). Ya'll can argue about the rest of it, what do I know anyway.

That's what happens when you try to get away with not using a pump on a really muddy lot.

They did that shit when pouring the foundation for my house. Got the bitch stuck then unloaded the mother fucker on my front lawn....

that sucks! Atleast down here they mostly have the front load trucks. In va, all they have is the rear loaded trucks, those suck. We never had a truck get stuck, but they sure would fuck up some forms not paying attention.
