Garage pad

[LOLzilla]

Just curious what folks are paying for their garage pads this year. As we are all aware the hard economy times are here and I'm assuming it's affecting the trades as well.

Looking at doing a 22'x22' pad + 2' apron + 6" retaining wall around three sides.

I've had a quote at $5,200 and another at $6,000 so far.

Not sure going rates right now but it should be cheaper compared to last year. Buddy of mine just booked his driveway to be done (asphalt) for $35K and his neighbor paid $45K two years ago for slightly smaller.

Depending on how thick of a slab they quoted you, and what MPa of concrete, I'd say those prices aren't bad. This guy on Kijiji is quoting $4200 for a bit smaller size and no curb (wall):

Example: 20X22' double car garage with 2' apron $4200 includes Excavation, Forming, Gravel, compacting, rebar, duramix concrete, power trowel finish, 1 years warranty against structural defects.
