We are building a log cabin in our garden and need a concrete slab installed :
area is around 23 s/m.
About 5 s/m needs excavation to around 150mm deep and this excavation shifted over to low area on site.
Fix levels and shutering.
Lay MOT or limestone scalping sub base to 75mm deep.
Lay ready mix concrete to 100mm deep.
Tamp off to finish.

I will remove my own shuttering.
Any guide to cost please inc labour and materials. Thanks for any help.

~£90+vat per cubic meter of concrete
~£160 per day for man with digger, done in a day
MOT type 1 is about £16-20 per tonne iirc
Depending on how far you need to move the MOT and also the concete you may want to hire a mini dumper as well at around £150.
2 blokes to prepare it for a day, 2 blokes to be there for half a day to pour the concrete, call that £400.

About £1,400 fag packet guestimate?
