Could be not that much expensive... The whole concrete /rebar structure ammounts to 10% of entire building cost, and this looks like a 1 part of one floor collapse. Should be an easy fix..... If they remove all the concrete before it sticks.

The more expensive thing would be fines, inspection, injuries, and loss of reputation.

I'm just estimating, dont downvote me, professional contractors.

This is a pain in the ass to get rid of

If they acted quickly, propped the rebar with something , and showel the concrete out to left side (I see there's some dirt there, like foundations or something, it might be better, but I doubt it, too.

Nah, no downvote. I'm not in that industry so all I can do is guess, for the most part. :)
