Anyone know what I can expect to pay per sq/ft to have a concrete slab laid

a slab is nice, but definetey not needed if you want to skip it.

i built my "shed" this winter.it is 10x12. fully insulated and also lined with osb. so its heavy. my floor is 2x8 16" on center. i park 1 harley, 2 dirt bikes, and 1 atv inside it. no problem. you dont need to go that heavy on the floor either if you arent parking heavy items in it.

a concrete truck will have to be able to get to with in say....12-16 feet...i am guessing. i think they usually only come with couple chutes. now if you are rich you could call out a pump truck and put the mud right where you want it...it make it soooo easy. but expensive.

I appreciate the input guys but it appears I will have to call around to get an idea as no one has posted any sort of guess-timate.

I put my shed on pressure treated 4x4's and skipped the slab.

I'm guess-timating that's because there's so many possible variables that could affect a quote like location, prep work, access to site, etc. My shed is right next to my house, and I want it on a slab so I can use the slab as a patio extension and crap storage area.

The going rate used to be $1.50 per square foot to pour and finish, that did not include prep, forming and concrete. I would figure at leat another $1.50 to $2.00 per square to prep and form depending on what is needed.
Concrete is going for $100 to $110 per yard give or take; for a 4" slab you need a little over 2 yards so figure 2 1/4 yards. You may have to round up to full yard increments. Less than 5 yard delivery, plan on $50 "haul charge."
You're looking at around $400 if you do it yourself and rent tools. If you want fiber mesh, hang #4 steel, need fill, etc this may need to be a little higher. I think Fiber is about another $7.50 per yard. I would anticipate $1000 if you simply write a check. If you talking to a small company or an individual, definitely throw out the "what's the cash price" question.
