Pouring a 80 x 100 Metal Building Slab 

That's what I see 😂😂 Acting like a inspector.

Thanks!

You'll have a blast building it!

Ryan Seppanen Thanks Ryan! That's actually a crew that my brother hired to pour his slab. That's great to hear though. It was a fun day seeing all of that concrete get poured.

***** Hi Steve. Thanks for the comment. Radiant heat is an excellent idea. That should work well!

I did! haha, I would have hit him

the tool is called a concrete placer...

Builder99 actually it is just a rake ;)

Midwest UTV on the Concrete business they said if someone takes you come along from you hands that mean you are lazy and you suck

Midwest UTV I did I thought it was funnier that all get out. Wake up and get busy! Lol

And I thought the curb forming machine I saw a few years back was a trick... I've only done a little concrete but yeah it is hard work.

Michael Zuro I was just wondering what state are you in when you paid a 20K for that size. Thanks

20K just for the concrete correct?

I bet that was a fun one to watch!!!

It did look like alot of work! Haha!

Thanks! There is something very cool about it!

Thebigdady lol no one believes you

LMAO!!! I was just thinking... This HAS to be up North somewhere!!! Here in Texas... This wouldve been a 5 man crew!

Work smarter, not harder

@@fnhwk Indeed they did this hole thing without a screed pins O.o... I mean that's pretty basic.

That will be excellent I'm sure!

David Varner Hey Dave! Thanks for the comments. The building belongs to my brother and it was a combination of doing a lot of the work ourselves and subbing some of it out. We did all of the site prep but the actual concrete was subbed out. The building plans specified the concrete bolt placement and it wasn't to hard to do. The concrete finishing company had a lot of guys working on the pour and it worked out well. We erected a lot of the steel ourselves and we have a friend who is a general contractor who helped out a lot throughout the whole building. 100 x 100 should be awesome.

I've got to say that I'm not sure. I'm not a concrete guy. That's why a concrete contractor was hired, so that he had to guard against those things and fix them if there had been rain. I do know that there are concrete blankets that can be used to cover the slab after it has cured enough to walk on. At that point though I don't know that rain would hurt it.

50 k +-

Thanks Dave. Unfortunately I don't know how much all of that cost because the owner (my brother) is an excavator and he did all the dirt work himself. I don't know how much the concrete cost and it was also years ago now. It would be best if you got a quote from contractors that are local to you. Sorry.

+SnakeRiverFishing I'm sorry SRF but I don't know. We let the concrete contractor take care of those details.

I am not a contractor but as far as I know, there's no reason you can't heat the slab. I think lots of people do it but I'm not up on the specifics of how the system works.

Hey Gavin! Sorry there isn't a video of the footing pour. I believe the footings were around 12" wide by 18" or so deep. Thats a pretty standard footer for our area. The footing was around the perimeter of the building.

I'm not sure because I'm not a concrete expert but the floor did turn out nice.

HAnd screeding that much, the guy out in the field can match the guy on the form after doing it so many times. Then Way out in the field they match preexisting mud. We use a power screed on my jobs. Try to find some old fencing pipe / they like 1 and 7/8 thick up to 2 and 1/5. Easier to remove, easy to clean and reuse, you move em along and pour in sections like this crew, and they don't tend to float on their 1x4 stands that are staked in the ground. I've not seen a better method for screeding rails

They put anchor bolts in the concrete when it was poured. I don't think it was a thicker pour where the frame is bolted. It's 6" everywhere.

Thank you!

Vincent Williams Hey Vincent! I can't remember for sure but I think it was around $28k.

I'm glad you liked it Tom. It would be best if you checked with a local concrete contractor. This video is 4 years old, concrete prices are different in different locations, and contractors charge different rates. Sorry.

Current price you are looking at 40k

I'd do it for $48k

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀

I believe it's 6" thick so heavy vehicles can drive on it.

Hahha! Yes!

Thats $5 a sqft.. can't be correct.

Hi Eveliz! The concrete company uses a saw to cut lines in the slab and then if it cracks, the cracks form in the cut lines and don't cause a problem.

The price for just the concrete was probably around $12,000. Plus labor, equipment, and the contractor's charge, it was probably somewhere north of $30,000

Using the pump truck increased the price also.

Where I live, concrete is $120 a yard... That job cost about $50,000.. A pump does cost $ but is offset by the labor savings..

No insulation under the slab. That is not done in our area.

This building belongs to my brother so I don't know all the specific details. I think the finished building was something around $200-$250k. Excavation, concrete, plumbing, electrical, living quarters, appliances, lighting, LABOR, etc. They are generally more expensive than people think. Especially with extras like large overhangs. I would suggest that you contact a local metal building company and get some quotes

God's Country I have been thinking about building a 250ft x 150ft, I got one company that said they could do that(Just ship me the stuff and I assemble/deal with everything else) for 200K, I was a bit skeptical so I messaged a few other companys and I am still waiting for the reply.

its camalon baboso

I'm not sure how they kept it level but it worked! I guess maybe just experience???

+Cindy Powers 17 trucks and 170 yards of concrete.

17 concrete trucks.

Thanks Chris! I believe it was 6"? Not totally sure about that. It's my brothers building.

Chris Buske Definitely a foot thick

2x12 Nominal so 11.5"

The form boards are 2x12s but the grade inside the form boards was not 12" deep. I believe the whole slab is 6" thick.

About $1000 per truckload maybe a small discount for 17 trucks. Form wood and 10 guys $20 per hr minimum.. $20k minimum

Hi, about $30,000 concrete is almost $20,000. Labor and forms easily another $10k I'm planning a 40x100 doing it by myself, ready mix will be $10,400 for 87 yards.

Depends on the depth and concrete strength required... its not too hard to get quotes, the more people you can get to help locally the better (my grandpa, myself and about 4 others poured about a 40x40 slab ourselves for his garage). It will turn out nicer if you have people that do it all the time though even though we knew what we were doing we don't do it often.

@@SubieRow Are you going to pour a footing around the perimeter of your building?

I'm doing a 42X60 shop right now on my property, (key word here is CALIFORNIA :/) for a 42X60 slab with a 12"X12" perimeter footing and a 6" 4500 psi slab its costing 19,800. Right around the 7 to 8$ a sq foot mark. This is with the concrete company doing all the dirt work, form, setting bar and then also the pour.

nikolas textor I’ve done some calculations and $200,000 is totally possible.

I can't remember for sure but for some reason I'm thinking it was around $25,000.

I have several other videos on this build.

I seen em 👍🏻 Found em 👍🏻

Ha! Me too!

I do it regularly and the only time it sucks is the first pour of the year than your body gets used to it.

Ryan Seppanen why dont you guys just add rake handles to the top of the board?

+Natethanastysnake666 I can't remember for sure but for some reason I'm thinking it was around $25,000.

Wholly molly! Looks like my shop plans are going to have to wait longer or my shop size is going to have to shrink dramatically haha. Thank you for the heads up.

+Natethanastysnake666 You still might want to check with your metal building contractor/company. This slab was thicker than normal. You might not need it thicker than the normal 4".

The price for just the concrete was probably around $12,000

God's Country if you plan on driving anything larger than a car on it it would be a very wise idea to go 6 or so inches.

I called it that because it's a concrete slab that a metal building is built on. If a house was built on it I would have called it a house slab. It's more about the purpose than the material. I hope you liked the video.

@@GodsCountry I did like the video! Thumbs up for sure! 👍👍👍 And thanks for replying!

Rich I'm not really following what you're saying. There's no water or puddles in this shop. It's fully enclosed and has 10' overhangs on all sides.

+God's Country, Don't you ever turn a hose on, or use a hotsy to power wash the floor, not to mention snow melting from your trucks???

No there has never been a need to wash the floor. Only sweep it when dirt gets tracked in. Why would you want to introduce all of that moisture into the inside of the building? Yes snow will fall off trucks but that is a fairly small amount that evaporates quickly.

+Sarah Johnson Maybe the other dude was not doing what was necessary! Maybe lazy guy has been slacking for the past two weeks and angry guy is sick of his laziness.

+Ed Ucation yep, maybe, but most likely, just a jerk.

+Sarah Johnson Oh stop it Sarah, you do realize that's just their sense of humor.

yup. what he did was pointless. Where was the vibrator?

ex-girlfriend has it in her nightstand
