Nathan: First off I'm not a earthmover by trade, so I'm not pushing their "cause." If you are putting up a 30 x 40 metal building I'm pretty sure you want to have the best possible building when it is finished. A big part of that is the pad. If it is not done correctly you will not be happy with the end results. It appears that for now you want to leave the floor of the building dirt or covered with rock/stone of some sort. However, if sometime later you want to cement the floor it will be even more important to have a good pad. The first question I'd ask is how much time do you have to devote to the pad preparation and then I'd ask you how good you are with a loader? Unless you are pretty good with a loader, it will probably take longer than you anticipated and will be harder to get "right" than you anticpate. If you want to get some loader time, I'd recommend that you use the laoder to finish off the floor and the driveway after the building is constructed. Bottomline, I'd bite the bullet and pay the $1800 to get the pad professionally prepared.
