Are there alternatives to Gypcrete brand poured floor?

What might they be?

I am working on a 20x24 cabin and wish to pour it myself. Has
anyone done this as DIY?



I'm no concrete guy at all but you want to mix & pour like 18 cu yds
of concrete?!!!! More if over 4" thick. Rebar? Cell phone to call
911?

How are you getting all this mix to the site is my curiosity.

18 cu yds?
The area is 480 sq ft and the pour is 1-1/2". Gypcrete is lighter
than concrete. I calculated 2 cu yds of material max. Quote for job
is $1600 minimum. Just looking for way to cover radiant floor tubing.

There must be alternative product out there, I just don't know what it
is.


Had no idea how thick Gypcrete is poured. Even at my 4" it would have been
only 6 cu yd.

Note to self: divide by 27 for volume, not 9, duhhh
