Concrete Help

[Bowanta]

I am thinking about pouring a slab in an area where we once had a wooden deck. The area would be 12'7" x 12' x 4". How much concrete would I need? Not sure how to calculate it, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, what is the going rate for concrete to be poured?

Running about $125/yard, I believe.

You're looking at about 2 yards of concrete.

edit: Ouch that is a cook link!

General rule is 1 yard will cover 9'x9'x4". Always get a little more than you calculate and have a place to put it. It's easier and cheaper to get rid of 1/2 yard than it is to call and order another 1/2.

Here in DFW it would cost you 1250.00 to have that poured, maybe more depending on excavation and if you needed beams or footings. Most contractors have a 4 yard minimum which is 320 square feet at 4 inches thick, you have about 150 so they would back out the cost of two yards of concrete, i.e.., 320 feet at 4.50 per foot = 1440.00 , less two yards of concrete @ 110.00 per yard = 1220.00. This would be a good price for a turn key job.
