Concrete base for log cabin

Hi all,

I've had a quote come in for a concrete base for a log cabin ( 8.5 m x 3.6 m) for £3600 . The quote includes extending existing concrete base from old garage then adding vapour shield and 100mm reinforced concrete on top. I'm no builder but that sound a crazy price?

Any one have a rough idea of what I should be paying ?

Any help appreciated .

Mark

    Concrete will be circa £800

    We dug out our own base when we did ours last year,around 2 days work for 2 including shuttering out, hardcore and compacting. Approx 6x3m

    I'd say the quote is around £1500 over

    Andyhop,

    Thanks for the reply and info.
    You confirmed what I thought. We are getting other work done at the same time so I will decide who to use based on the overall price but this cost stood out as very expensive.

    Thanks,
    Mark
