About to do exactly the same thing myself, just as soon as we sell our place in Bangkok.

Looking to build this :







On this bit of land ...5 x 20 DTW.




I'm figuring about 800,000 baht give or take 100,000 .

As for costs , I can see the OP's point. I'm supposing that when you get quoted a construction cost per meter it excludes material. Why....because the materials you buy can vary quite a bit depending on budget etc. I.E ...q block vs breeze block, roof tiles, floor tiles etc.

In any event, buy the stuff yourself and just get a quote for labour and make sure to get a builder that sticks with it and be prepared to visit the site every day etc.

I've built here before twice but a long time ago and everything has changed so I'm having to more or less learn from scratch. Dreading it but no way around it.
