Thread: My House Plans

THIS IS THE PLANS TO MY HOUSE.HOPEFULY IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS.THE COST OF THE BUILD AND PLANS WERE 1.5 MILLION BAHT
A PAID FOR EXTRAS SUCH AS SINK, SHOWER UNIT,WATER HEATERS,WATER TANK,KITCHEN UNITS,LIGHT FITINGS,DOWN STAIRS WOODEN CEILINGS AND NETS ON WINDOWS.AM SORRY I NOT POSTED THEM EARLY THAN THIS AS I HAVE BEEN OFFLINE

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE UP TO NOW

just a thought. with that quality looking scaffolding, would you be liable if it fell down and someone hurt themselves? also the scaffolding isnt independent. just one row of standards on the outside, which means all the horizontal 'tubes' [wood] is going through your lovely plastered wall in nice little holes

looks nice though

seems very good price at 1.5 mil

Hahahaha, this is THAILAND mate, so the answer would be, absolutely no.

My house is 4 bedroom house one bedroom down stairs three bedroom upstairs.We have about 1/2 a rai of land and the cost of the land was nothing as it was my father and morther inlaws land.They had there house on the land before we started building.We knock it down an used the wood for the new house.With all the extras the house price shound come to about 2million baht.But no funiture yet.We started the building last October.First we went to a builders merchants to find out if they Knew a builder who could draw plans and build the house for us.He said come back the next day to show us some plans and ideas.
the nex day we came back looked at some plans but the houses were to big,so he said he whould draw new plans whith some of our ideas,and also he came back to the old house to look to see if the wood was very good to use.
The next few days he came back with some new plans and a price to build the house and also a contract to ,if he did'nt finish the house on time he pay a fine.He gave the build about 5 months to build.He started to knock down the house a coulpe a days later and back fill with soil which was'nt in the price.We had to leave when they started building but we get all the information from my brother in law,emails a month because he lives in Bangkok but now he staying every month in Doonsad and also many phone calls to him.Up to now he is doing a good job.I send some photos later.

looks like something I could live in

Nice looking house mate and thanks for sharing your experience with us!

Make sure you get good quality paint as for that price I reckon they will cut corners with regard to the finishing.

Now is the time to stay on top of them everyday.

roof nearly done all wood beams no steel a waiting render

ICI Paint is probably the best along with Jotun, Dulux and Nippon Paints. Make sure they do not mix water into the base paint because this is a common trick they use.

Make sure you get a good quality exterior paint and they should apply at least 2 coatings after the undercoat has been properly applied.

For wood finishing get Berger Woodgrain lacquer as this product is the best for Thai weather conditions and good luck.
