Some people on here wont be surprised by this.

" I have a masters in procrastination, well I'd have a masters if I didn't keep putting off taking the final"

Now for the question at hand. The shell of my barn had been up for at least 9 months now. I have power installed and a few lights. The floor is still dirt.
I wasn't thinking when I had it built and the bottom skirt boards were placed too close to the ground for my plans to insulate, pex and put in 5" of concrete.
I do plan on putting a two floor drains in the middle of the garage area for drainage, a utility sink, toilet, shower and washer.
Who should I call to help get the floor prepeped for concrete? What I need is someone to remove and level the dirt, dig the various trenches and place and pack the gravel. I myself would then put down the plastic barrier, 2" of foam board, rebar and pex, then have a cement crew come in do the concrete.

Do you detailed plans on where and how deep you want the plumbing? Are you going to hire a plumber or do this yourself? With detailed plans a dirt moving contractor should be able to do what you need.

A small excavating outfit with a skid loader should be able to surgically remove a couple inches of fill from the inside of your barn and leave you with a good level grade. A plumbing contractor should then be able to come behind him and trench in whatever rough plumbing you want instatlled. Then your concrete guy will probably want to pack the base and prep the final grade before pouring.

I did this in an old horse barn for a buddy with my 1026r loader and scraper blade. 8hrs total digging with a machine and by hand for a 40x30 ft area.
