the tool is called a concrete placer...

Thanks man, good to know. I have a bobcat t770 so wanna do some of the prep also to save $$. Like your videos and your channel. Looks beautiful up there, I have 20 acres here but florida is so flat. There are a few steel building manufactures around here, haven't finalized who it's going to be yet. I found your channel from all your equipment videos cat 299d etc

[@kboy9205]

I bet that was a fun one to watch!!!

[@eng.knowledgeseeker]

awesome job , Im excited to do mine which is smaller version of yours 100M2 , steel structure warehouse .

[@GodsCountry]

That will be excellent I'm sure!

[@michaelzuro6723]

Just read a few of the comments asking the price. I paid 20K for a 65 X 120 floor done with a laser screed. It is perfectly flat. The concrete company did a monolithic pour meaning it had a thickened edge for a footing and huge pads poured for 3/4 J bolts that hold the steel building. They also set all the bolts.

[@justplaintrick7378]

Michael Zuro I was just wondering what state are you in when you paid a 20K for that size. Thanks

[@cajunsurvivor]

20K just for the concrete correct?

Anyone know what it costs to build a 60x80 metal building on a 12'' dirt foundation pad with 6'' of foundation, 20ft eve height, with (4) 12x16 bay doors? Totally open space inside and insulation only on the roof. Located on the gulf coast so needs to be windstorm certified. Asked for some quotes, but nobody has given me a turnkey ready to go price.

[@ryanseppanen8055]

I've watched a lot of these vids on KZbin and I must say of all of the guys ice watched your crew is about the first that I'd say knows what there doing. Other than all the walk behind machines I would have used riders. A lot less work haha. Also I love that you guys hand screeded the whole thing. Much much flatter.

[@GodsCountry]

Ryan Seppanen Thanks Ryan! That's actually a crew that my brother hired to pour his slab. That's great to hear though. It was a fun day seeing all of that concrete get poured.

[@michaelzuro6723]

Ever hear of a laser screed and motorized trowels? That's hard work!

[@Wingnut353]

And I thought the curb forming machine I saw a few years back was a trick... I've only done a little concrete but yeah it is hard work.

[@eatshit2863]

All wrapped up well before noon. That's Amish level productivity.

[@GodsCountry]

Hahha! Yes!

[@Cat314DLCR]

Always liked the concrete pouring process, Thanks for sharing this video

[@GodsCountry]

Thanks! There is something very cool about it!

[@wilsonbaeza4384]

How thick was that slab....im going to build a 40x100 metal building myself thats why im askingl???

[@GodsCountry]

I believe it's 6" thick so heavy vehicles can drive on it.

[@martinneps9387]

Now with this concrete slab if I wanted to do with heated floors would that be possible my body shop he has a metal building but it's not a big big metal building with heated floors Can you please comment back and let me know thank you so very much this is very interesting

[@GodsCountry]

I am not a contractor but as far as I know, there's no reason you can't heat the slab. I think lots of people do it but I'm not up on the specifics of how the system works.

[@1thank2you3]

wonder how much this cost you?

[@car5car5]

How can they make it level if there are no rails for leveling? I would install a few 2x4 "rails" so leveling board can slide on them. then i would remove them after a few hours and feel spaces with concrete.

[@GodsCountry]

I'm not sure because I'm not a concrete expert but the floor did turn out nice.

[@jenningsmarcus7814]

HAnd screeding that much, the guy out in the field can match the guy on the form after doing it so many times. Then Way out in the field they match preexisting mud. We use a power screed on my jobs. Try to find some old fencing pipe / they like 1 and 7/8 thick up to 2 and 1/5. Easier to remove, easy to clean and reuse, you move em along and pour in sections like this crew, and they don't tend to float on their 1x4 stands that are staked in the ground. I've not seen a better method for screeding rails

[@BillGates-kz1nr]

What is the cost of the concrete

[@kowboy83ra]

What did it cost to build that with concrete and labor and materials? I was wanting the exact size you have the 80x100.

[@danielchmiel4143]

I'd do it for $48k

[@bryanwelton1442]

Ouch u guys dragged it hard work for sure I like laz screed when doing this big of slab or at least roller screed

[@GodsCountry]

It did look like alot of work! Haha!

[@countrylover9712]

that's a lot of cement

[@dodgedurango6591]

How would you safeguard against unforeseen rain or even light showers nowhere in the forecast once the pad is poured and not set or cured??

[@GodsCountry]

I've got to say that I'm not sure. I'm not a concrete guy. That's why a concrete contractor was hired, so that he had to guard against those things and fix them if there had been rain. I do know that there are concrete blankets that can be used to cover the slab after it has cured enough to walk on. At that point though I don't know that rain would hurt it.

[@GodsCountry]

Thank you!

[@sara76201]

How much it cost? 50x150 concrete

[@joeykunz]

did you subcontract this out? I'd so I assume you had the specs you needed from the building manufacturer and then just bid it out? Just wondering, taking on a 100 x 100 here in Florida on my property in the next year or 2. Where you able to save some money with prep with your CTL? Thanks Dave

[@GodsCountry]

David Varner Hey Dave! Thanks for the comments. The building belongs to my brother and it was a combination of doing a lot of the work ourselves and subbing some of it out. We did all of the site prep but the actual concrete was subbed out. The building plans specified the concrete bolt placement and it wasn't to hard to do. The concrete finishing company had a lot of guys working on the pour and it worked out well. We erected a lot of the steel ourselves and we have a friend who is a general contractor who helped out a lot throughout the whole building. 100 x 100 should be awesome.

[@tn3cn1v77]

How much did the cost come to, Im was estimating a cost for a 40x100 for a future project. Anything would be helpful and much appreciated.

[@GodsCountry]

Vincent Williams Hey Vincent! I can't remember for sure but I think it was around $28k.

[@SuperDarius01]

How much did the whole ordeal cost? The slab and building and construction?

[@GodsCountry]

This building belongs to my brother so I don't know all the specific details. I think the finished building was something around $200-$250k. Excavation, concrete, plumbing, electrical, living quarters, appliances, lighting, LABOR, etc. They are generally more expensive than people think. Especially with extras like large overhangs. I would suggest that you contact a local metal building company and get some quotes

[@SuperDarius01]

God's Country I have been thinking about building a 250ft x 150ft, I got one company that said they could do that(Just ship me the stuff and I assemble/deal with everything else) for 200K, I was a bit skeptical so I messaged a few other companys and I am still waiting for the reply.

[@shortyortega5997]

its camalon baboso

[@davel8116]

Nice. How much was the slab, in slab plumbing/conduits, grading, trenching... the whole enchilada?

[@GodsCountry]

Thanks Dave. Unfortunately I don't know how much all of that cost because the owner (my brother) is an excavator and he did all the dirt work himself. I don't know how much the concrete cost and it was also years ago now. It would be best if you got a quote from contractors that are local to you. Sorry.

[@sicisskitzo4359]

About how much is something like this?

[@SubieRow]

About $1000 per truckload maybe a small discount for 17 trucks. Form wood and 10 guys $20 per hr minimum.. $20k minimum

[@Ultrasteve1969]

Well I'm impressed. I'm planning to have one done about the same dimensions by I want to pass PEX tubing everywhere for radiant heating some studying on how its can be done especially the right thickness

[@GodsCountry]

***** Hi Steve. Thanks for the comment. Radiant heat is an excellent idea. That should work well!

[@westvandude]

Did they put anchor bolts into the slab for the steel frame wall verticals? Or did you drill and set concrete anchors? Was the concrete much thicker where the steel framing bolted up?

[@GodsCountry]

They put anchor bolts in the concrete when it was poured. I don't think it was a thicker pour where the frame is bolted. It's 6" everywhere.

[@philipkeiser4442]

The only concrete at grade would be next to the forms if they were checked. Most cut wet pads at grade to screed from.

[@Jovan_of_Suffering]

[@gm8709043992]

What size footings was poured before the slab? I looked for your video of the footing pour, but could not find it.

[@GodsCountry]

Hey Gavin! Sorry there isn't a video of the footing pour. I believe the footings were around 12" wide by 18" or so deep. Thats a pretty standard footer for our area. The footing was around the perimeter of the building.

[@tometom3587]

Thank You for this video. What's the cost on something like this ? Same square footage of materials and labor ?

[@GodsCountry]

I'm glad you liked it Tom. It would be best if you checked with a local concrete contractor. This video is 4 years old, concrete prices are different in different locations, and contractors charge different rates. Sorry.

[@TheElectronMan]

Current price you are looking at 40k

how many cement trucks did that take

[@SnakeRiverFishing]

Man power screeding during pour, did you add calcium or something to make it cure faster ?

[@GodsCountry]

+SnakeRiverFishing I'm sorry SRF but I don't know. We let the concrete contractor take care of those details.

[@evelizalvarez7980]

How you avoid in this slab the tendency to crack?

[@GodsCountry]

Hi Eveliz! The concrete company uses a saw to cut lines in the slab and then if it cracks, the cracks form in the cut lines and don't cause a problem.

[@cyclonus01]

can someone comment on how much a concrete job like this would cost? thanks.

[@TOPGUN8199]

The price for just the concrete was probably around $12,000. Plus labor, equipment, and the contractor's charge, it was probably somewhere north of $30,000

[@garyf6971]

Using the pump truck increased the price also.

[@stlpny56]

Where I live, concrete is $120 a yard... That job cost about $50,000.. A pump does cost $ but is offset by the labor savings..

[@Light-bearer]

Man I wish it didn’t cost so damn much.

[@westexpipeliner1]

They do work well together. How did they keep the floor level with only a 16 foot wet screed?

[@GodsCountry]

I'm not sure how they kept it level but it worked! I guess maybe just experience???

[@countrylover9712]

how meany cement trucks did you have

[@GodsCountry]

17 concrete trucks.

[@247workshop]

Hi, can someone tell me how much it cost to build a foundation like this? Thank you for your answer!

[@SubieRow]

Hi, about $30,000 concrete is almost $20,000. Labor and forms easily another $10k I'm planning a 40x100 doing it by myself, ready mix will be $10,400 for 87 yards.

[@Wingnut353]

Depends on the depth and concrete strength required... its not too hard to get quotes, the more people you can get to help locally the better (my grandpa, myself and about 4 others poured about a 40x40 slab ourselves for his garage). It will turn out nicer if you have people that do it all the time though even though we knew what we were doing we don't do it often.

[@tracymauk3878]

@@SubieRow Are you going to pour a footing around the perimeter of your building?

[@bschmitty77]

I'm doing a 42X60 shop right now on my property, (key word here is CALIFORNIA :/) for a 42X60 slab with a 12"X12" perimeter footing and a 6" 4500 psi slab its costing 19,800. Right around the 7 to 8$ a sq foot mark. This is with the concrete company doing all the dirt work, form, setting bar and then also the pour.

[@golfing2470]

wow....very nice. how thick was the pour?

[@GodsCountry]

Thanks Chris! I believe it was 6"? Not totally sure about that. It's my brothers building.

[@witzYT]

Chris Buske Definitely a foot thick

[@witzYT]

2x12 Nominal so 11.5"

[@GodsCountry]

The form boards are 2x12s but the grade inside the form boards was not 12" deep. I believe the whole slab is 6" thick.

[@zackmtz7966]

About $34k for labor and materials to pour and about $5k to excavate and form

[@777Sharkbait]

Thats $5 a sqft.. can't be correct.

[@fnhwk]

God's Country if you plan on driving anything larger than a car on it it would be a very wise idea to go 6 or so inches.

[@TinfoilHatWearer]

Why do u call it a "metal" building slab? Isn't it concrete?

[@GodsCountry]

I called it that because it's a concrete slab that a metal building is built on. If a house was built on it I would have called it a house slab. It's more about the purpose than the material. I hope you liked the video.

+God's Country, Don't you ever turn a hose on, or use a hotsy to power wash the floor, not to mention snow melting from your trucks???

No there has never been a need to wash the floor. Only sweep it when dirt gets tracked in. Why would you want to introduce all of that moisture into the inside of the building? Yes snow will fall off trucks but that is a fairly small amount that evaporates quickly.
