With the mortgage paid off I may finally be able to get the new shop built. Thinking about going a different route than a solid slab.
A local company quoted me under $2900 for 19 floor joists delivered on site. I am going to get contact info for concrete contractors familiar with the slab and foundations for steel buildings and have them give me estimates for both a solid slab and for footings with a knee wall to support the building level with the top of the joists.
I will figure in T&G OSB and some cheap laminate flooring to the cost of the joist route. If the total is close to the same as a slab, I will go that route since the floor would be easier on the feet and legs.
Thoughts?
