Sounds kinda right. Assuming a 6" thick slab, 1000sq/ft puts you at 18.5 yards, and last time I checked it was going for around $260/yd for 3000psi delivered. Puts you right at about $5000 for the concrete alone. Steel probably another $4000, then the rest is the labor for formwork and the pour.
If the slab is super simple, you can save yourself some money by doing the formwork yourself, and laying the steel. It isn't rocket science. Then hire some guys who know a thing or two for about 3 hours to spread the concrete and finish it.
But what's a few thousand bucks for the piece of mind of letting the pros do the whole job?
