Unless they misquoted it, but I doubt it as they have been doing it awhile. If I get the bid I will let you know. Its in, now im just waiting... As someone else told me, throw enough chit against the wall and eventually something will stick. Its been REALLY slow around here and its starting to hurt badly.

There is going to be a difference in pricing for certain areas of the country.

We just did a project at the Port of Seattle and found a number of things that would affect our pricing. First, the aggregate is super tough, and second the slurry is considered a hazardous waste and has to be disposed of as such. I hired a local cutter to help with the workload and after reading their invoice I see that they regularly charge in the .55-.65 / inft for gas slab sawing (I wish I'd known that when I bid it haha).

However in Florida there is no union presence and you can expect to see pricing as low as .20-.30 / inft. However cutting inside is almost always electric (thus slower production) and you can expect to see an additional .10 -.20 / inft.

Places like Houston, Baton Rouge, and St. Louis, you can expect to pay more because of the river gravel commonly used their pours.

If anyone needs rough information on pricing for cutting projects feel free to PM me or drop me an email. Also If a large cutting job finds you I'd be interested in bidding.
