cost of concrete base for garage

shamu2new

Anyone able to give a rough cost on how much I should be spending on a concrete base for a 17 x 30 steel shed. Need approx. 4 " grass removed, can be spread on site so no need for skip, then hard core, steel, box frame 2 ft and after shed goes up need a finished floor of about 4" concrete. can price materials but particularly interested in what the labour for this should be around?

Don't quite get what you mean

sorry I mean picture frame rather than box frame - its a frame of concrete to hold in the hardcore.

So your looking for a perimeter wall concrete foundation with hardcore fill and a concrete slab floor on top?

Nearly there - there is no perimeter wall to be built so its just a frame of concrete that the all steel shed is bolted onto then then finished floor is poured in - sorry just trying to learn the process myself.

labour cost will depend on access to the site.
Can the materials be delivered to the area, or to the front of your house, and then by wheel-barrow to where the shed is going.
Hardcore, Concrete, X 2 deliveries, etc.

Probably 2 men for 2 days initial Picture Frame work, and then 2 men for 1 Day Final Floor

so 6 man days at say 100- 150 each
