A statute of repose is different from a statute of limitations, in that after the statutory period has expired it is not possible to file a lawsuit even if an injury occurs after that time. For example, New Jersey has a ten year statute of repose for injuries attributed to improvements to real property, commencing with the date of substantial completion of the project.
Hereâs a quick price comparison: 1  Plain concrete: $6-$12 per sq. ft. 2  Brick: $14-$20 per sq. ft. 3  Stone, slate, or marble: $17-$28 per sq. ft. 4  Concrete pavers: $13-$20 per sq. ft.
However, since this is a labor-intensive project, the cost of labor will often be significantly more than the cost of the materials themselves. On average, the cost of installing a cement slab can run between $3 and $12 per square foot of space. However, that number may be higher or lower depending on whether the terrain needs extensive work beforehand, the concrete thickness is unusual or the homeowner helped prepare the site.
