Yes, planning to build a more budget-friendly slab for the garage by constructing a form with 45x195 beams and then laying 10cm insulation 30 cm in from the edges, followed by reinforcement and a mat before pouring concrete.
I've looked around at Coop and Bauhaus today, but none of them sell suitable reinforcement and the insulation was outrageously expensive. But where should one turn to get all this at a reasonable price with delivery to the south of Stockholm?
Beijer is out of the question for various reasons, but who else? Does AKB have all this plus delivery? Or Lissma sawmill?
It's the weekend now so it's hard to call around and ask, that's why I'm asking here

The cost for home delivery is usually negotiable. For really large loads, it's "free," otherwise it's typically about 500-1000 SEK depending on how far they have to travel.
If you want the items lifted to a tricky spot, I can recommend Lissma - the truck guy there really goes above and beyond what you could expect and also has a crane that reaches faaar.

Just don't shop at Bauhaus! AKB has knowledgeable staff to help you find the right items.
Why only 10 cm insulation? If I were you, I would instead go for 5 cm "rock-hard" cellplast, which will be both cheaper and better for you.
The most important thing about a garage slab is that it holds. The thermal insulation you get with a 10 cm cellplast board compared to this 5 cm one is barely noticeable.
Here's how I'm going to pour our garage slab:
-145 frames as formwork
-5 cm hard cellplast
-2+2 12 mm reinforcement in 25 cm wide beams
-2 reinforcement mats 6mm 5x2.35 s150
-Plastic on the cellplast to prevent radon from seeping up.
Good luck!
