How to pour a large concrete slab for a garage 60' x 36'.
What I charge to install concrete slabs.
How much does it cost to pour and finish a concrete slab.
In this video I'll be answering the questions above and showing you how we install a lot of our garage slabs.
I'll cover the forming, rebar mat, and pouring the concrete.
We install dozens of concrete slabs this same way and I've made a course to teach you, step by step, how to do it yourself in my concrete slab course below!
Most the concrete slabs we install are 6 inches thick with the edges 12 inches thick.
We use 2x12's for forms.
I don't do the gravel sub grade work, that is subbed out to an excavation contractor and usually the owner takes care of hiring that person.

I appreciate you sharing the price as well. I just did a 20 x 24 pad by myself and with 2 buddies helping on pour day. The guys were there 4 hours and I gave them 150$ each or just under 40$ an hour. The 7.5 yards of concrete was 1200$, 4000lb mix with fiber, I had the steel mesh and had the wood to frame it. Had to buy some screws and other small items, total cost for 24x20x5" thick pad was about 1600$.

@dc6233 Жыл бұрын

I should have mentioned that I cleared the land myself, used my backhoe to pull the stumps as well and drop a few yards of reprocessed concrete for a solid base. The reprocess is only 20$ a yard if you go pick it up and I borrowed a buddies dump truck. I've learned how to do everything myself and inexpensively...

I worked with the Seabees one summer while TAD and we built a park/picnic area. I did grunt work, so I was on what they called the rabbit. We built several barbeque pits which were basically a 5 foot square slab. There were three of those. Then we built a basketball court and it was very similar to the garage here. We used a gas powered screed. I helped with pulling the screed. I remember when we were done the sense of pride I felt for building something with my hands.

Our 40x40 guest house slab came in at just over $10 sq/ft, but that included them handling everything. That is, that included doing all site prep and grading; all footings (needed to be inspected separately); the slab poor; and then grading for the gravel driveway next to it. That wasn't the cheapest price we were quoted, but they were very highly recommended and we were thrilled with the result!

I just had a pad poured for my garage, plus a driveway extension almost the same size of the garage, and a sidewalk. 5" thick, with 12" thick edges, 5500 psi with fibermesh. I paid $13 per sqft, but that included all the excavation which extended an additional 4' beyond the slab in all directions to lay down foamboard for frost protection and the labor to lay it down (I paid for foamboard myself).

I've only ever formed and poured my new countertops so a 40x60+ slab is a little more daunting. Seems like with a couple friends and some info from these videos, it's much more doable. The countertops turned out nearly perfect so I don't want to ruin my win streak :)

Now my construction consists of 2x2 ft footings, a sloping driveway with a slightly less than 1:12 pitch that is very wide, etc. I agree that early morning pours are the best but this far south EVERYONE wants an early pour. It is so humid and hot by 2pm that you rarely see concrete trucks on the road unless the crews were rained out earlier that day or the days before. Keep up your wonderful, informative videos!

The floor 6''s thick cost me 6,500 that included all material and labor for plumbing for the drain tile and crock. Not to mention the tar spray for the outside water proofing. My garage floor was a standard 24x24 and that was 3,400 and included all materials and labor. And by a different company. I live in Michigan

@bnellynel 11 ай бұрын

What skyrocketed was the prices charged by companies during Covid because people continue to pay it. The price of the actual concrete has not gone up nearly as much as they increased the charges. Every business saw others increase price so they did too. People paid it so the prices aren’t coming down until people stop paying it. The same goes for many industries. Concrete, AC, contracting additions construction, landscape etc.

So I recently poured a slab for a metal building. Specs were: 12x24 perimeter and a criss crossed beam through the middle on a 30x40 with four #5s in the beams and #3s on top 18" on center. 4000 psi 4" slab. It was $11,000 and that included dirt work and 80 yards of select fill to get it level. So $9.16 per SQ ft about an hour east of Dallas.

Now it’s one of the things I’m most grateful for! Besides the memory of time with him, and being able to drive on the property, and back up trailers and operate the tractor in the alfalfa fields, I wouldn’t hesitate to say that I’ve saved well over $100k because I’ve been able to tackle almost any job that comes up, from home remodeling to car maintenance and repair. He was a “great man”, who left us too early at 54 y/o, when I was 20. I thank God I had him for 20 years.

You do great honest work man. This is a humble honest trade for anyone that has the right motivation and will to get quality work done, your labor dedication shows it after the job is complete. Also patience and good planning skills to forsee any adverse outcomes along the job to have a backup plan just in case. This reminds me of when I used to help work with my dad in Vegas heat doing concrete block walls, forming pouring footers and stucco work. Your a blessed father man, your daughter is a motivated agile working young lady. If I lived near you I'd hire you to pour a slab I see you know precisely how to lay a smooth solid pad, God bless sir

About 15 - 17 years ago, in TN, just before the concrete darn near doubled in price per yard, I poured my shop floor. It was an old church softball field and when I lasered it, it was dead nuts - within 1/4 inch. I formed it, gravelly, did my own rod and set it at 6" iirc with 8 around edge with double rear around edge at 6". 100 yards, 50x100. A team came in, supplied concrete, poured n finished and sawed it. 10k plus 400 cash for a pump truck passing by in-between big jobs. Didn't have to clean it it was so close. I thought 10k was a pretty good deal and I thought it was even better when I used the forms as the bottom boards for my building. I put about 5-600 stainless screws in the inside and left em sticking out about 1 1/2" or so so that's what held the 4.0 CCA treated boards in place ...still. God was with me on materials too. Did 16' walls with 6x6s on 8 foot centers, tied with 2x6s with a hog trough on top, 10ga metal trusses built on a jig we made in the middle of the floor. Ordered z perlins. Set up two trusses on 8 ft and added the Zs. Set em two at a time with a 60 ton crane, then filled in between with more Zs. and a big metal contractor had an 18k Sq foot load of super high quality standing seam roofing that was accidentally cut a foot too short on an elementary school ...laying in his yard. 5500 delivered! My buddy built trusses and put on standing seam on those schools for this contractor ! In-between jobs ...5k to build the trusses AND install the roofing ...WITH vinylback insulation I had delivered. He supplied the big scissor lift outside. I rented one for inside. THEN an old man ordered 18 R panels, same color from Lowes. 15' 6 1/2" long. The factory sent them 180 ! 🤣 He took his 18 and left. Ended up giving a grand after they sat there a year. Wallah! 5k to a small crew to put on the wall metal. I did the metal security doors and two big rollups. I couldn't have afforded to do it without those breaks.

@MikeDayConcrete 2 жыл бұрын

Angle or no angle, not much difference, whichever way it goes in solid. Usually there's some rocks to deal with. The pour, we just started where the chute reached then worked to that edge. Mostly about access and where the chute reaches for less pulling.
