We have a storage building in the back, it has footings all the way around but a dirt floor, what would ballpark price of getting a slab poured,

At 3.5" thick that is 3.5yds, last I heard it was 150ish a yard so about 500 for concrete plus finishers and pump if needed as well as road base or sand on top of the dirt

At 4" thick that is 3.95 yards. Rebar 18" on center would be (25) 20' lengths of bar. If it can't be accessed by the concrete truck I would rent a Georgia Buggy to get the concrete to the pour area. I'd order a big rock mix like a 560C3250. As for price I have no idea.

Might make a little bit a difference if it’s in California or Arizona?🤣

I paid about $160 a yard from Holiday Rock last month.

That’s a pretty small job. Order bags of crushed rock and rebar from HD delivered.

Probably only need one finisher.

Always geographic pricing so where are you? Where your located plays a big role. 320 ft.² to be pumped indoors from the street with the number four rebar 18 inches on center would be $4000 where I’m at.
That would be the cost of all material and labor,

I would do that with two finishers. 320 ft.² is small and one finisher is adequate but placing the concrete and sceeding will come out much nicer with two people.

Buying bags and mixing your own concrete, taking it in one wheelbarrow at a time would require an additional person and is never worth it to me. Do you want the concrete placed as soon and as fast as possible so you get an even finished floor rather than have one area getting hard and the last area to be placed still wet.

Yeah, not worth it to save $400 +/- on a pump. I wouldn’t do the whole Georgia buggy thing either that’s just way more work, get a pump.
Most pumps will only pump a pea gravel mix. Always try and go with a big rock mix where you can. Slabs, footings, curbs, sidewalks. It's just stronger. There are big rock pumps but are pricey.

My guy, but I'm in Oregon, is $400 a yard that includes set up, mud, metal and finishing. I supply the pump which is usually around $500-$800

He could pump a city mix if he really wanted to which would be plenty adequate. It's a shed slab.

No offense,,,,,don't take me wrong, I'm not insinuating anything bad towards your intell.
That's too cheap in my world. 12 sq ft/31K is what I would bid that for. I'd need 8K net. That/my price is with GL, WC ins and all the labor on payroll. I then have to pay/match SS and SDI on employees check withholdings. Pay for work trucks and tractor mobilization/fuel, truck ins etc,,,,,it all adds up if your gonna do work by the book in CA. Homeowners prefer to hire the guys that pay cash labor because they're cheaper. That's why I went commercial/public works years ago.
Easy breakdown 2600 sq ft w/no demo
@6" thick = 50 yds = $8750.00
#4 rebar 18"OC w 20" overlay = $2750.00
Labor to form, grade, place/tie steel, place and finish concrete = $6000.00

$3000 seems very fair. Having a 20x25 poured with a couple pathways from the driveway to the front door and on the side yard....my guy is doing it for $4,000.

$8 a foot is really low. 2" of compacted base, with #3 at 18" OC 3.5" thick I would be at $15 a ft with dirt removal and haul. Concrete remove on and haul $18.

8K net was after all the other costs to operate profitably. Job by me would have been 31K. He IMHO got a fair deal at 10.66 sq ft
My math isn't good after 11 pm,,,,,that's why I don't work after 10

Doing a little concrete demo for a hour today. Have to trench down the middle of 98' driveway for the sewer, water and electric main. I quoted 18k for driveway replacement. Now they want to double up the front parking and make it pavers from the house to street behindthe gate concrete. Probably around 26k.
