Estimate cost of garage slab please?

[juliussee]

Thanks again guys,

Squizzy, I don't think the calculations work out just based on volume of concrete used. A big flat slab will cost more than a small deep slab of same volume wont it?

I know it does seem a little high.
I was hoping to get it arounfd the 6ish mark.


Thanks

Go for a drive around a new housing estate and ask the concreters how much for a cash in hand for a weekend, offer a BBQ and a slab too.
Guarantee you will get a result.

Adrian,

My old mans a concretor. If you want give me a call on my mobile which I will PM you. It will be a reasonable amount and done properly by a licenced tradesman.

5 x 6 x 0.2 = 6m3

6 x 12 x 0.1 = 7.2m3

$8,500.00 cash is very high....(just trying to give a general tip here)

Maybe I should have mentioned that it was a "cashie" by a tradesman, supplied cold/hot drinks and I didn't mention another slab for my boat, so I appologise for the misleading information in my previous post.

I have just put in a slab 10m x 8.6m x 100mm (86 sq metres) at a cost of:
9.44metres 25 mpa concrete delivered 40km return trip x 2 loads $1450 cash, 6 - 6m x 2.4m m-62 reinforcing mesh delivered 40km return trip $240 cash, 6 tonne of grade 3 crushed rock delivered 20km return $130 cash, 3 men over 2 days to box for slab, fill low spots with crushed rock, lay mesh and lay concrete (13 hrs) over 2 days, 80km return travel, $1200 cash. A total of $3020, completed by tradesmen start to finish.
I would recomend that you get quotes from as many tradesmen as possible.
