January 31, 2016 at 6:18 pm #465050That looks like an interesting project. I guess I would start with the forms and figure a time and material, then rebar and concrete. In most cases, if you do not have historical data from doing one before, it is a lot os SWAG’s (scientific wild a55 guess) good luck, I find that when doing things like this u use a lot of SWAG’s and they usually come out well.

Proyea i figured all the concrete labor etc an went overboard just incase.. but this is really a custom job i would say .. so i don’t want to give a steal of a price if its something that can be charged a premium dollar. don’t want to underbid myself but don’t want to look like a idiot either lol

Proi figured my cost is roughly 15-16k
January 31, 2016 at 6:23 pm #465055Looks extremely complicated! The most help I can be is remind you that Materials + labor + overhead + profit=cost.
Only you will know what those individual values are.

Proof course but was looking to see if there is a approx sq footage price etc. Just like pavers we all have our own pricing but generally there is a ball park figure if you are a professional. you can’t be way under or way over that general ball park or you won’t cut it.

I wouldn’t even know where to start on a job like this .It certainly is a mind boggler .
January 31, 2016 at 6:46 pm #465066I would figure what you think and double it. I know I would be doing it a few times and not get it right the first go around. I cut wood and know nothing about concrete.
Keep us posted with pictures!
Welcome to the group also!January 31, 2016 at 11:31 pm #465168Looks extremely complicated! The most help I can be is remind you that Materials + labor + overhead + profit=cost.
J has summed it up. There is no one price that would work for you and me. The pricing of things are just too different. Good luck on that project. If you get It maybe you start a thread on it.
February 1, 2016 at 5:30 pm #465509Not to sound like a jerk but the question begs to be asked: how much concrete experience do you have and how much of that experience is in similar projects? There is some serious form work and rebar in a project of this scope…is there a drawing you are estimating off of or are you putting together a bid based just on the customers description?

Two totally different things really get there. I hope you have a concrete plan to make an estimate from.

ProWouldn’t know where to start putting a bid together for a custom staircase like that, maybe talk to the homeowner about a fair hourly rate and you won’t get burned. Or bid high and charge a little less than you bid(if possible), homeowners LOVE that!
Best of luck would like to hear how it turns out.February 13, 2016 at 9:35 pm #471731Skillman

Job like that is not a square foot price job . There’s a lot of factors in for curve stairs .
Always willing to learn .
February 14, 2016 at 1:18 am #471794I am curious did you make the bid yet? what were your considerations and how did it go?
March 9, 2016 at 9:58 pm #485675I saw this “precasting” of portions of a concrete spiral stair on another site. I thought it would fit here.

Looks like the OP didn’t want to stick around…
