We cant wait to get started TBH, but so many things need to be sorted / in place / agreed / financed BEFORE we actually start the digging, etc...

To whet the appetites though... it will be a 3-building , 2 story arrangement, built in .. 3 stages. A lot of leaning towards the Lanna / Ayutthaya style but constructed using bang up to date methods and materials. (and all done by my local 'construction perfessional and his 10-strong team from Laos)

seriously though... we want to include as many energy saving / heat reducing features into the construction - this will be a long term residence, for when i finally hang my boots up from working in the Middle East.

We already own the land

The plans are approved and the building permit is issued

So like I say, a few more I's to dot and T's to cross and we will be 'ready'. Oh, and I think I need to finish my work so i can supervise theirs!!!
