A parking garage with a typical size of 32m × 32m in a multistoried building was considered for design with flat slab. RCC flat slab and PT flat slab were used for the comparison with respect to the cost. The slab system was designed using two different code of practice; Indian standard (IS) and American Concrete Institute (ACI) standards. From the cost analysis, it observed that Post Tensioned flat slab system gives better cost reduction approximately 21% in the cases IS and 23% in the case of
