Anyone have current pricing for concrete slab for a shop?
Hey guys I'm new here and I'm looking to build a 40x60 shop. I have got plenty of quotes on the building itself but I can't seem to get accurate pricing for concrete pad with in floor heat and styrofoam insulation underneath. I have googled and have seen some older posts from 2008. I'm just wondering what the current price per yard is and what the average guy charges per sqft for prep and pour. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

My slab worked out to about 13k or so by the time everything was said and done (40x60 5" thick 30mpa). My concrete guy placed the rebar and insulation ( used that that foil backed bubble insulation rather than styrofoam) and i placed 2000' of pex on the rebar. This is a simple floating slab in a pole framed building, no real beam/ ponywall as you would have in a stick framed building.

Is there anything you wish you would have done or done different now that it is done?

Best I can suggest is to get multiple quotes for the exact specific job you want done with regards to thickness/insulation etc.After you get the lowest quote let them fight over who wants to get the job and just watch the price fall a bit more.A lot of contractors in Alberta still think the streets of Alberta are paved with gold right now.
I had to get my sidewalk replaced in 2011 and I went through this.One guy came in at $4500 for 30 feet of sidewalk.I ended up getting 4 quotes and also got into a bidding war to secure the job.The guy I went with started my sidewalk and a few neighbors asked me about it.He picked up 4 other sidewalk jobs on the same block and 2 others a block away.They spent 3 days doing demo work and cribbing and got all 7 poured and finished in 1 day.He was happy with what he quoted me and he was uber happy picking up 6 other nearly identical jobs.All of the concrete was delivered by the same cement truck it just had to move a bunch of times.

A slab prep, place and finish is going to be about $8-$10/sf. Will be even more if you do a thickened edge. Pipe and Styro will be about a $1.50-$2/sf. Most guys charge about $1.30- $1.50 just to place and finish. If you have the means you can save a pile doing the prep work yourself... that's where they make a lot of their money.

I'd budget $25-$30 k on that. Be careful of the guys that seem too cheap. They likely will mess the job up.

Look at some of there work they have done and talk to the owners of such work.
A neighbor had his driveway redone a few years back. Every day when it rains or snow melts, they are out there pushing water down the driveway. Very poor sloping in the wrong directions. You can see the bad sloping from the street it's that bad.
Are you putting any drains inside ?

Yes I was thinking about doing a washed rock pit and cover it with grating. I did the same in my garage and it works great plus I won't be doing anything with a lot of water anyway. Probably just be snow melt and and the occasional drip dry.

If you are planning on in floor heat i'd honestly be more concerned about putting an exhaust fan or something in for dealing with extra humidity than drainage. Not saying that a drain is a bad thing to have, but my drain see's very little use as i don't really wash anything in the shop and any moisture that comes off my vehicles just evaporates.

40 by 64
I placed a 40 by 64 by 16 ft walls. engineered steel shed in the Okanagan Valley and we used 64 cubic meters of concrete. It was the thickened edge design.
Insulated and lined inside with 28 guage. Outside is 26 guage ( nothing thinner )
Insulated roof. Six skylights. Those skylights are like someone turned on lights. Would not live without them.
Two large 14 ft high doors at right angle to each other but far away. Very efficient.
The concrete part is around 20 to 25 K all placed with rebar and all. Heavy rebar.
These sheds are not cheap.
Beware the snow load factor. Watch your safety factors and go beyond the county minimum.
I doubled up on my Purlins for good measure.

Ill be having a 44x64 pad poured later in the summer. Ill do all the prep work and slab heat/insulation. My guy charges around $7/sq ft finished including the cement price. So im expecting a 20g bill. Hes poured 2 pads for me and have been spectacular both times.

We used Big Daddy concrete in Calgary. He certainly was not the cheapest quote we got but did what and when he promised and has a 2 year warranty, was willing to pay more for quality and assurance

Most commercial outfits charge 50-60 cents per square foot for place and finish. A cubic meter of concrete covers about 90 sqf at 4" thickness. You can expect to pay 220-250 bucks per cube of 32 MPA low air mix. Prep is more, if you can do it yourself, you can save a bundle. It's buyers market now, grind them down...

Budget about $1,000 per cubic meter of 30mpa concrete. Price includes formwork, rebar, concrete place and finish.
