Concrete slab work needed
I'll be building my shop in the next month or so, and I need to see if any of you guys have someone who is up for any kind of deal on the work.
Already have a couple quotes, but still taking any info for the build to be.
Slab size will be 40x60.
Any material or prefab building kits that are priced nicely are also accepted if anyone knows of some. Looking for 14' high.

Prefab shops are all pretty close in price, apples for apples. Where you run into major cost hikes is if you want to make any changes to the kits available (i.e. move a door or add something) The slab will probably run you around 12k. Jus find someone to do it right, not someone to do it cheap. You will regret not doing it right the first time. I am fixing to build a new 30X60 but I am gonna buy the steal and fab it myself because I can't buy a kit to my liking.

Found a huge price difference in the ready to install shops.
And I have had a range of pricing in slab quotes from the couple I have talked to. Time will tell but it is nearly time to pull the trigger on slab and start getting **** together for the metal. Then find a 2 post lift.

$12k for the slab is right on target. That's what I spent in Lufkin for a 40x60, with me buying materials & paying a contractor $1.35/sf for labor. Be sure to put several 2" conduit sleeves thru the slab for getting water, electric & other potential utilities inside without being exposed. And beef up the slab thickness & re-bar for that 2-post lift.

You can also spend a bit more and buy a Nussbaum brand lift and they have huge feet on them. I lifted a car with mine before I ever even bolted it down. Usually when there is a large price difference in buildings they are much different when you look closely. We have put up four Muller buildings and they are great. If you want it a certain way it is cheaper to buy the steel and do it yourself. 14' walls are a great idea for sure.

So.......how's this project going. Since I've read this I've been thinking about doing a Mueller kit. Is anybody better or cheaper. Not looking for anything too big, just garage space is already tight.
