Mine was built without any delays. took them about 4 weeks from crew and wood stepping foot on our land till they shoved off.

I looked at buying a house made of wood then tearing it down and doing it that way. i just havent seen a nice looking house in the area so i figured the local labor was used to putting up concrete places.

At least the other way to can actually see exactly what you are getting before you start.
yes, we were lucky with good builders, and my wife was a good project manager

builders do tend to try to build what they are used to, so if you have any non-standard ideas, they need to be discussed and explained until the builders can feel OK about them. They actually like to do things differently, it makes their day when they finish something good and can show their friends

Pattaya Thai Teak Wood House
Well it seems this thread has now come to an end and the Teak house is no more, think it took them less than a week to take the whole thing down, have to goto the beginning of the thread to see when they started.

All in tiny little bits now.



The roof trim.



Joists.



Main supporting beam.



Roof fascia.

Easy enough; they changed their minds, pretty much in the same way a 6 year old kid starts building something from lego blocks, then when it's almost done thinks "naaaaaaaaaaaah" and goes on to play somewhere else.

And... this is a little bit of food for thought actually: If you build a nice teak home and go on holiday for a week, you may come back to find just the concrete slab on the ground.

Well I found another one that is just about finished, this one is up for sale and can be moved to your lovely plot of land, this is on Sukhumvit going from Pattaya to Sattahip on the left hand side.

The front of the house.



The back and one side.



The main room.



One of the bedrooms.

Here's another Thai teakwood house, this one is an old house that has been bought for the wood and is now being rebuilt near Pattaya, only trouble is is that it is right close to Sukhumvit Road so they will have traffic noise problems, next door to it is the owners garden center, she doesn't know when it will be finished as she is a bit skint at the moment.



Can't really see it in this picture but the doors are really nice and have carvings on them.



A bit closer to the doors.



A couple more walls and some of the fancy roof stuff to go up.

Something like this would be worth buying for the wood, ok it's bloody ugly but you only need a saw to redesign it
