Thread: Builder in Buriram needed

Anyone know of a good, reliable builder in Buriram?
Need to build a 160 Square meter house, nothing special, just want good quality and fair price....thanks in advance

Good, reliable and Thailand = Oxymoron

Whichever builder you get, keep a good eye on the build as I personally don't trust any builders. They'll do things the Thai way which usually means the easiest way.

i know of one that works out of Korat, right down from you, he is building my house as we speak, i live in Nondindaeng NE or Korat 2 hours away,take a look at my thread,, House of Charles, Noon and Maya,, i am due back soon as i have been working,,arrive on the 9th of April, your welcome to give me a call and even come see the build in progress,,i am just over a hour drive away from Burrirum,, take care

Not to kick the hornet's nest but this statement can go both ways. To help put my ass through the university I built wooden decks on the side. Sometimes having the owner of the house watching every move was a pain in the ass.

For example, I might be cutting or nailing boards down when I realized I was off a 1/2 inch or so. The owner would jump in, and delay the build before I could even begin to correct the problem. Depending on how I bid the job, this either cost the owner or me money.

Even in Thailand and I think DD might back me up on this, some homeowners are not suited to be the boss. I know, I have been the boss.

Sometimes, my way worked but cost more money when the Thai way would have also worked. Then again my way was sometimes the better way.

This construction business can be a real thin line to walk sometimes...

Yes I do. He's building me a bungalow for me in Buriram right now, his work is sound, he's a decent bloke too, and I don't say that lightly in LOS. His kids go to school with mine so there was a history before employing him.

I'm out of town right now but will find his contact details for you if you like. He prides himself in his work, his business is large and established and the price is very fine as he doesn't need to buy materials from a 3rd party; he's self sufficient with a yard and shop.
