I've been getting quotes for a post tension slab for my 22' x 22' garage, and the prices are all over the place. One contractor quoted me around $50,000, while I found info saying it should be about $2,420 based on $5 per square foot. Why such a huge difference? What should I realistically expect to pay for someone to put down a post tension slab?

It’s definitely confusing when you see such drastic differences in quotes. Always good practice to get multiple quotes from real contractors rather than relying on online tools or AI estimates. The market can vary, and it’s not uncommon for contractors to give inflated quotes if they’re busy. Aim for at least three quotes for a clearer idea!

Right? Some contractors jack up their prices if they’re already swamped. I got one quote that was triple the others, which is just wild.
