Estimate
1,200 sq ft
A 30x40 building is 1,200 sq ft. A flat 5-inch slab that size takes about 18.5 cubic yards of concrete — order around 20.4 yards with a 10% cushion, roughly 3 ready-mix trucks. Get written quotes for the building and the slab.
- Slab concrete at 5 in:
- 18.5 cu yd
- With 10% order cushion:
- 20.4 cu yd
- Ready-mix loads (~10 yd each):
- 3 trucks
Geometry only. Real slabs use thickened edges, footings, and grade beams that add concrete beyond the flat-slab math — an engineer or concrete contractor sizes those for your soil and building. Ready-mix trucks carry about 9-11 yards. This tells you the building's footprint and ballpark slab volume so quotes make sense, not the final pour ticket.
