We have the plans to build a house on land we already own in Korat. We've already been in touch with a few builders and i'm hoping for some advice so as not to be ripped off.
The house is to be a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom bungalow with adjoining carport.
The first building team quoted us 300,000 baht and we have to buy the materials.
The second builder quoted us 240,000 and we buy the materials. The wife actually accepted this offer but then the guy doesn't show up on the agreed date so now she doesn't trust him.
The third builder wants to take on the whole job. He wants 2.2 million all in which he admits is expensive but he says he'll guarantee 100% quality. Apparently we have to take his word for this.
We've also spoken to a fourth building team who we're waiting to hear back from.
I'll post the house plans in a second, just need to go get another bottle of beer.
All thoughts most welcome as i'm quite thick about all this building lark and i'm not even sure what all this should be costing. The architect said we could build for 800,000, now i'm assuming that's without the cost of the labour. Still seems to be rather cheap to me though.
