[QUOTE="OHJEEZE, post: 4149345, member: 47878"] Wow! Those concrete numbers are staggering in my opinion! What are you all getting for your $5 and up sq ft? A quick search says national average for concrete is $157 / yard. 1 yard @ $157; @4" thick is 81 sq ft, and $1.94 / sq ft @5" thick is 64.8 sq ft and $2.42 / sqft @6" is 54 sq ft and $2.91 / sq ft Is your concrete prices include removing all the top soil of the project area, raising it up with at least 8" of clean washed gravel, proper grading of the gravel and tamping, vapor barrier, forming, pouring and finishing? We do all our own prep work on concrete projects, so so the guys doing the finishing, are only doing finishing. I think the next time I do any, I am going to attempt finishing it myself. I have just about all the tools needed. Another thing is I will not build anything where the sheeting / siding is down to floor height or with posts in the ground. I want 8" minimum concrete / concrete block above floor height to build off of. [/QUOTE]
