Why should he check what materials you need when it is you that will be ordering them, if we reckon thats 15 hours work per week working out material orders etc why should he waste his time doing that when his time can be more profitably spent actually running the site?

I don't no of any Thai contractor that will start building a house without a deposit, I am sure there must be some, you will find a few of the big farang building companies will start work without deposits etc, obviously their profit margins are higher so they can afford to do this, to start the job is just land clearing and digging holes, a bit of cement, some wood and a few blocks, so the initial deposit is only a small amount anyway, if the contractor was paying for materials I would say give him a down payment of 40k baht and with that he also gets the first delivery of rebar in for the girls to start putting together, next payment will be for more rebar and shuttering and the cement pours so probably another 40k baht would be needed.
