How the Concrete Slab Cost Is Calculated A 60x60 metal building requires a 3,600-square-foot concrete slab , matching the footprint of the structure. Using an estimated concrete cost of $6 to $12 per square foot , the calculation looks like this: Low estimate: 3,600 sq. ft. × $6 = $21,600 High estimate: 3,600 sq. ft. × $12 = $43,200 Average estimate: 3,600 sq. ft. × $9 = $32,400 That means the slab alone may average around $32,400 before factoring in any additional site work or upgraded concrete requirements. Costs can increase if your site requires grading, a gravel base, drainage improvements, thickened slab edges
