Hooray,
I got my building permits today for a shop I'm going to build. It is going to a 24x24 1 or 1.5 story building (could use some suggestions on this, different between 1 story and 1.5 story is about $2,000) on a cement slab that has 16" wide footers that are 18" high and a 4" slab. If you know anything about concrete, please chime in about how much you would expect it to cost.
I have been talking with a concrete contractor about the slab and he says about $2000. The problem is that he seems to be unwilling to come out to my house at a time that is convenient for me. People in town say that he is good at what he does, but I'm a little nervous. He has been to my house twice now to look at the site, but I haven't met him yet.
As for the building itself, I plan on doing that with my family and a few neighbors. Overall suggestions and advice on this project are much appreciated.
