foam under slab, per inch


Construction Category SubCategory
Insulation Floor Insulation

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Installation cost for closed-cell extruded polystyrene insulation (blueboard) installed under a concrete slab


Unit Size

One square foot of slab area


Labor Costs

We figure that a skilled worker can place about 100 square feet of insulation per hour, with some help from an unskilled worker. This cost includes levelling the ground (usually with a gravel cover) and placing the insulation boards

NOTE-- This unit cost can be used for any thickness of insulation board. Goldenseal uses a base cost for 1" thick board, and then multiplies the material cost times the floor insulation thickness, as entered on the Finish Dimensions screen in the project Estimate


Material Costs

One 4x8 sheet of insulation board covers 32 square feet, minus an 8% waste factor


hard COnstruction Cost, Typical

$.83 per square foot


Suggested Quantity

Goldenseal calculates the insulated floor area, based on basic project measurements


Source of Construction Pricing

This insulation installation cost is calculated from job cost data for several projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.
