8×10 concrete slab: what to expect

A 8×10 slab covers 80 square feet. At the standard 4" thickness it takes about 1.09 cubic yards of concrete once you allow 10% for waste, which is roughly 49 × 80 lb bags if you mix by hand. Stepping up to 6" — sensible if it'll carry a vehicle — raises that to about 1.63 cubic yards.

Budget around $440 – $960 to have a 4" slab this size poured and finished by a contractor, or roughly $196 – $381 in ready-mix if you're doing the labor yourself. On top of the concrete you'll need about 1.14 yd³ of gravel base and 6 sticks of rebar.
