I did my own plans on my 30’x40’ but agree with GG. A good Lumber Yard has that capability. I’m looking for someone right now to draw my house plan up.

How much was the concrete for that size? Looking to do a garage/pole building at my cabin and trying to understand costs.

Have fun with concrete costs in the northwoods. Was quoted for a 40x64 with grade beams insulation under and pex tube for heat at 33k. Estimating approximate cost of all materials which I did was 16-18k which left what 15-17k for labor. That was with site prep done and just minimal grading to pour. And that was estimating concrete at $200 a yard.

Concrete prices are ridiculous

I just did a 1900 sqft 5in thickened edges rebar 2ft center and it was $24,000. I know that's a little high, but couldn't get anyone else end of last summer. This is northern Wi.
