For construction professionals analyzing project estimates, the cost of a concrete slab is a crucial factor. In Portland, the average cost in 2026 ranges between $6–$8 per sq ft and $9–$14 per sq ft per square foot. This comprehensive rate includes labor, ready-mix delivery, and finishing, ensuring accurate budget planning.
| Project Type | Size | Total Cost | Cost Per Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garage Slab | 400 sq ft | $2,400–$4,800 | $6–$12 per sq ft |
| Daylight Basement | 1,000 sq ft | $4,500–$12,600 | $6–$12 per sq ft |
| Patio on Grade | 200 sq ft | $1,000–$6,000 | $6–$9 per sq ft |
Several variables impact the overall expense of concrete slabs:
CountBricks employs advanced technology to sharpen cost estimations for construction experts:
Reducing cost overestimation is essential for profitability. Utilize live data, adjust for unique project variables, and integrate modern estimator tools for precision.

In a notable Southeast Portland project, an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) of 600 sq ft had initial cost projections ranging from $6,000–$10,000. By leveraging CountBricks, the estimate was refined to $6,500–$10,800, exemplifying effective budget management.
The project was completed ahead of schedule, providing a cost-effective, high-quality solution that aligned with client expectations and budget constraints.
