[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 3126966, member: 7292"] Sounds way to high to me. The following is based on my experience with paying for concrete work lately: It will take about 1.5 yards of concrete. That’s about $120. The steel will be less than that, but say it would be the same or close. You’re talking $250 for materials. You’ll hire a company and they will send a couple of Mexicans, probably illegals, that they are paying $100/day. 2 guys could do it in two days, easy. So that $400 in labor. So they have $650 in it. Forms and such are reusable to a large degree. So yeah, $2200 seems high. The owner needs $1500 in profit for 2 days worth of work? [/QUOTE]
