is that typical or you usually pour slab first?

Remember this is Post Frame construction... so the posts have to be in before the slab is poured.

When Mallet puts the buildings up they put up all the posts and skirt boards around the bottom. They install the aircraft cables from post to post then pour the slab.

After the slab is poured the put on the sides and the roof.

I told them I was pouring my own slab so they gave me all the aircraft cable and a diagram. I installed those myself and poured the slab through the 2 roll up doors.
On a 30 x 40 shop it wasnt too bad. The concrete truck chutes reached a lot of the area.
