I have a small 30x40x10 pole barn with 6 inch slab that was poured after construction. Wire in slab, no rebar, no edge 12x12 edging around perimeter, no bubble wrap because I used trusses on 2 ft, 1/2 osb and 35 year shingles. The price was the same for a metal roof, I went with shingles and a 1 ft eve to keep rain off siding and to allow adequate eve ventilation. Used ridge vent and power vent. Never had first issue with condensation on metal sides or get excessive moisture levels to cause tools to rust.
I'm on clay in Terre Haute. Slab hasn't moved, cracked or settled. Slab was done in one morning, continuous pour, no forms, boards around perimeter and boards across door opening were only forms used. floor was put down by a professional concrete finisher. 4x6 posts had be be 4 ft deep to be to building code.
A stick built house would have to have foundation 24 inches below grade to be to code.
The taxes on a stick built building the same size with vinyl siding would outrageous.
