Curious as to what the range should be? Located in Woodville.

Will hold two vending machines.

Depends on how much you DIY and how seriously you take it. Are you ground prepping with compacted base or just stripping the sod? You laying out formwork or hiring it out? Can you just back a concrete truck up to the spot?

2K small projects suck at the cost

Define range.

Are you looking to do the labor yourself and just asking for cost of materials?

Looking to hire a concrete guy to do the entire thing for you?

Rebar? Ramesh? Nothing? How thick of a slab?

Get 3 quotes, and that will tell you what the range should be.

Expect to pay a premium for such a small job. They hate sending out partial trucks. If I were you, I'd try to find a builder close by who hasn't done concrete work yet and try to piggy back off their job.

not that they hate sending out a short load, they just charge you for it. Expect to pay for 5cy when you only need about 1.

You could find flat workers and make rent a drum mixer.

Right about the small load fee. They were able to simply schedule it for a day where another customer had a small job and avoid a fee or wasted material.

Thanks all!

Yikes!
I might want to price out pavers or shop surplus or even a boardwalk?

This is a pad on grade aka flatwork, not a foundation slab on grade w/beams and assumes 4"tk, properly placed steel, docile supporing soils that don't get mad when too wet.

Agree with potential savings when coupled with another small job - from which we have benefitted in past - but this is best arranged by the conc.crew boss.

Aside:
If you only looking for truck wash out weak concrete to fill post holes, BB goal, even short flagpoles, THEN providing a dump place near a concrete job could be arranged with the conc.supplier
