30×30 concrete slab: what to expect

A 30×30 slab covers 900 square feet. At the standard 4" thickness it takes about 12.22 cubic yards of concrete once you allow 10% for waste, which is roughly 550 × 80 lb bags if you mix by hand. Stepping up to 6" — sensible if it'll carry a vehicle — raises that to about 18.33 cubic yards.

Budget around $4,950 – $10,800 to have a 4" slab this size poured and finished by a contractor, or roughly $1,528 – $2,322 in ready-mix if you're doing the labor yourself. On top of the concrete you'll need about 12.78 yd³ of gravel base and 63 sticks of rebar.
