Finally starting... let the adventure begin.

@ArmyDoc

Nice, it has been a wait for you. I am looking forward to watching your progress. I must admit, that between @NCjeeper and your shop build story, I will have to adjust my expectations when I retire. We will most likely be buying some land (2-5 acres). First build will be the house, although I am going with a Manufactured but they are also booked up given the housing shortage. Then the shop. May be able to have the foundations/slabs poured for both at the same time. Would make running the utilities and plumbing much easier.

One thing I will be doing is a stepped foundation for the shop. Helps to prevent water intrusion by placing the frame support structure above the grade but below the shop floor.

One more year until retirement, July 10th, 2022. :D
 
That about 8 thousand dollars lying there?
 
Not a bad price either, that would be over $20K in my neck of the woods...
 
Looking good, a 40x70 foot shop will make for a great shop/equipment storage. Sounds like you are right at about $12.50 per yard on the slab. That isn't bad at all for what you got.
Are you going with a red steel frame building? Looking forward to your progress.

If my math is right, you're off by about $930.00. Mike

My $/Yard represent Cubic Yards not footprint but my number was still off.

$17,000 / (40x70x0.5) / 27(cuft/Yard)
$17,000 / 1400 (CuFt) / 27 (CuFt/Yard)
$17,000 / 51.85 CuYd
$327 per CuYd

$17,000 / (40x70)
$17,000 / 2800
$6.07 per SqFt
