March 4, 20242 yr I received the estimators online quote back today, and I was quite surprised by the labour cost for the slab. Just going through the numbers to see where I could potentially save some money. 12k in labour sounds rather expensive.

The floor plan had a kitchen with island shown, but they haven't put a kitchen in the quote or the utility room.
March 19, 20242 yr I found their labour and material pricing very hit and miss. But it does give a great starting point and you also have a nice list of the activities to help with actual quotes.
