We need to concrete the floor of a shed / workshop / stable overall size is 21 ft by 60 ft its a steel frame building in 4 bays.

A long time since we've laid much concrete, what is the best way to go about it, our initial thoughts was to do alternate bays i.e. 15 ft by 21ft (we haven't got much labour)

What is best to use for shuttering as finished floor level will be above exsisting ground level, can the metal shuttering 'formwork be hired, and are we better to hire a tamp or screeder, any tips much appreciated

use readymix your better off shutterng it in 4*2
and pore the lod in one go
tamp it off using a lenth of 4*2
shed base id use 100mm type 1 stone waked
100mm poured slab
200mm total
use expansion joints to stop cracking

I could understand what plstering, was trying to say, he's the only one who's offered any advice so thanks to plstering
 
I also fully understood what pistering wrote, and whilst I do not always agree with his posts, I do respect the efforts he makes trying to help other people out. :(
