How much $$$ to pour a new slab ?

Tried this over on the OT but no one GAF . Gonna build a patio and want a 30 X 12 slab . Nothing fancy . Concrete will need to be brought in by wheelbarrow about 150 ft. About how much am I looking at?

Are you saying you want to mix that much concrete by hand, or have the truck dump into a wheelbarrow and walk it over?

It just going to support a patio cover so I'm guessing the standard is about 4" ?
Basically looking for what it would take to frame it up , pour it and finish it.

With 4" and those dimensions that's 4.44 yards of concrete
Call whoever is close and find out how much they charge per yard. You're welcome

looking at about $450 in concrete alone, prolly bout another 1000 in labor. round 1500 is a good guesstimate
edit: did not factor in wheelbarrow.....prolly be more

Thats is roughly 40 wheelbarrow loads. That will be alot of wheelbarrowing. Look into a pump truck.

Pump truck = big bucks.
You can rent the electric ride on the back buggies. This would be the route to go.

I poured a slab 24'x12'x3.5". Concrete was 105 a yard. Only had to wheelbarrow about 10 feet and it was a pain in the arse. The guy running the truck can't stop the cement coming down the chute at he right time, so you have a lot of waste. I had to use a couple bags of cement to finish cause of waste. Rent a buggy.

rent a Georgia bugy. Look for a concrete calculator online to see how much you'll need

Give me the zip code that you live and I will write and estimate...

Tyrone has the accurate cubic yardage of concrete.

Ah I see

With hauling of the concrete figure $1393.82 from a concrete contractor. I figured 8 hours additional time for the concrete hauling. This is Xactimate pricing.
