Anyone in the concrete industry?

[dullbird]

Is there anyone on here that could possibly give me some ball park figures on how much it would cost to lay a slab for something like.....50 square meters

Assuming the prep work was already done. so just for the slab?


and how deep would a slab need to be to have a garage and workshop put on it?

Sorry I only cart the raw product to the concrete plants.
Not really any help though.

When we did our shed the local concreter lent us his boards ect to box with.
We then paid him just to do the pour itself.
Saved a few $$ doing it this way.

Don't forget to build in a drive over pit

Cheers.

I've always used $120 per cubic metre as a rough guide...

50m2 = 5m3 (assuming a 100mm thick slab) = $600-ish cost for the concrete + reo + laying.

2007 ArchiCentre cost guide says a concrete driveway, including preparation, is between $50 & $68 per m2 = $2500 laid. We have been told by our QS that they are using 2007 construction figures again because of price deflation in the industry.

Lou, regards depth of the concrete check with your council as they have standards and will want footings at set depth and spaceing also they inspect before the pour to check that there,s no cheating
we just did a 8m 5m garage our council wanted footings at 3m spacing and each had to be 300mm x 300mm x 300mm depth concrete was 100mm thick.
we had builders do the lot cost about $4000 for the slab(shed was more)

I dont know whether i gave the right dimensions lets do it this way 10.5m x 4m so assuming the slab would have to be a tad bigger than the shed.....

Please forgive me I'm not very good with these sorts of things

its just your $600-ish has thrown me off......or where you pricing 600-ish per 5 meter cube?

my theory is if the shed cost 4/5 grand then the concrete has got to be way more than this....

With our shed the slab and shed are the same size the walls of the shed continue about 3cm past the top of the slab so no water can be blown or splashed under the wall, I think concrete in sydney must be a little more exxy than in Qland.

Lue the price of concrete in syd is very xxxxxxxxxy get it laid on a weekday cheaper than weekend, minimum 4 inches in hindsight i would have gone 5' for my slab and as somebody has said the piers have to be deeper so you need to know the design of the shed your puting on it

Tony whats the size of your shed and can you give me any idea of cost

PM if you dont want to disclose on here

My shed cost me $8000 erected. The slab is the same size as the shed.

Cost of the slab which was 7mx6m was $2100, but that was in Queensland and as everyone knows and acknowleges....we are closer to heaven here

DB,

I build sheds for a living (the steel side of things) in the sunny state. The Bundy price for a slab is approx $60 per sq mt in town (travel will add to the sq mt rate). This includes all materials and labour for a standard shed slab (100 mm thick with all the right piers and edge beams)
