You can save a bundle by doing the preparation yourself and have them to the skilled part. Local code here has gravel, moisture barrier, sand, and rebar. I put all that in along with expansion foam on the sides and forms at the doors.

I bought all materials and hired the pumper. I found a concrete contractor that would do the pour and finish for $1/sq.ft.USD. I saved at least $10k of a $15k job. Maybe they are all busy, but you might find someone that wants to make a few easy dollars on a Saturday.
