i doubt it.
teak unobtainble here in cambodia.
Looked at a house last weekend for removal near phnom penh.
Built in 1960,about 80 square metres they wanted $3500.
Posts were 100 by 100 and timber not bad,no termites but no koki the best khmer timber.
same timber new today would cost about $7000,but wet,no kiln drying.
To pull down and re erect in cambodia about $1000 including transport to our block,not bad.
However vertical cladding a bit ropey so flagged it away,missus wants new house.
What a surprise!!!
