Are you figuring in the forms? I worked on a volunteer project where the
guy in charge tried to cheap out and build forms out of scrap laying
around the site. He got a floor too when the forms let go. We weren't
prepared to strike it off, so it set up lumpy.

I'd use ICFs (Insulating Concrete Forms) and have a poured foundation
already well insulated. Something like www.standardicf.net

That stuff is so cool(no pun). ^_^
