Bill, I built a 30x40 pole barn with 10x30 apron. I did the math, every 1/4 inch of concrete,( 30x50) was about $100 at contractors rates. I put down a 6 inch floor. The 30x40 was a continoous pour, done before noon. Only form was at overhead door opening where every ft was a 2 ft rebar to prevent apron from settling.
I purchased a dewalt self leveling rotating transit. It paid for itself on just that job.
You might be able to rent one cheaper, but I love to have an excuse to buy tools.
I got my ground laser level, within a 1/4 of an inch. Don't see How anyone can level without a loader loader and a laser.
I used a disk to break up the sod. Loader to pile up the sod away from pole barn. 6 months later sod had decomposed. I used that to angle dirt away from barn so rain wouldn't run towards barn.
I put my barn on the highest point on the property. Too costly to haul in fill. Make sure water doesn't run towards barn.
