It's structural, taking the load above. Looks like part of the facade, probably will be glazed over, the doors in the open frame.Originally Posted by Pragmatic

what he may call postfabriated
House for swallows nests...Big bucks!
Downside with tilt up panel construction is all the electrical and plumbing will be surface mounted. Some like the look, but it is a bugger to clean after a few years.
The welds on the build don't look like they are doing much. Makes me wonder what happens when an earthquake hits and they depart. We had some real shakers in Mae Taeng on our column and beam house held up great with no cracks.
You Make Your Own Luck
Yep. Looks like one to me.Originally Posted by charleyboy
Day 3
Putting the concrete on the top of the 'Swallows nest'.
I found the stairs. Still in the process of being bodged.
Pragmatic I'd hire an independent engineer to have a good look at that thing before paying the builder. No offense, but some of those pictures look frightening.
Good luck to you.
BobR, it is not my building. I came across it whilst out cycling and thought I'd put its build on here as I knew 'prefabs' had been discussed before. I'm kinda busy at the moment due to my fitting Upvc windows in my house. I'll try to go get some update photo's as soon as I can.
It looks OK, it's a pretty simple structure.Originally Posted by BobR
Yes I remember it well just before we was about to build our place in the sticks .Originally Posted by Luigi
Was heartbreaking to see someones hard earned going to shit .
I can't remember exactly but I believe it was a franchisee operating under one of the big named build companies in Thai ,, I believe it was up in our area ( ish ) to Sakhon Nakhon ??
BTW Harry thanks for those links , it was very interesting browsing through that lot ,, I just wish something simple like that was available to us in Thai at the time of our build .
Infact for someone much younger than me and with a bit of backing + marketing expertise I would imagine there is a ready market waiting in Thai for many like myself who live with the wife in their home Countries and would like a nice affordable visiting pad erected on the family plot .
I'm proud of my 38" waist , also proud I have never done drugs
The builder was " PB house ". It was the sub contractors doing the build under PB house's name.
In the real world one could claim against PB house but in this shit hole no hope of that. So at the end of the day the quality of the build is purely in the hands of the contractors, if they fuk up it's tough shit.
Take your chances Building in Thailand easy as that.
We had to get the Hand Bags gaffer totally painted in and out plus add a few other things. Quite a big job.
I could of done it but did not want the travel each day.
Quotes came in and we took one at 50 K, her money not mine.
I was shitting that Somchai would do an inferior Job, use cheap paint and generally do a shit job.
Somchai and his wife done an outstanding Job using top quality interior and exterior paint. All other work including Electrical was spot on.
Dodged a bullet on that one. It was easily worth the 50 K for their outstanding work and quality job.
Could of easily went the other way.
OK...so...what is it ?Originally Posted by Pragmatic
It appears to be a cinema. As of yesterday men are working on the facade. I'll go get some photo's tomorrow.
It appears to be a cinema that is going to be used for educational purposes, as far as I'm aware. The contractors left it in its basic state for 4 months prior to fitting it out.
Excellent follow up pics Pragmatic. Thank for going to the trouble of following up with pics.
Not a problem. One concern I came up with is that there are no toilets.
I'm unsure if they're going to fit seating or it's squatting only.
I'm reliably informed that every rural Amphur in Thailand is to have one of these prefab cinemas installed. It's to allow rural folk to watch block busters without traveling to the city.
Future indoctrination centers?
