Thread: Thai House Plans - 500,000baht House

^ cheers. Much higher than some posts.

Hello there,
My wife and I own land in the southern countryside, near the rest of the family. We have a max budget of 500K and our plot is about 14x21sqm. Very very interested in your house ideas because we have the labour (father in law and his guys). Because of the local climate (rain in Pattalung is unlike anything I've seen in other provinces), we'd probably use stilts.

Basically, any ideas/plans etc would be great. We have a truck and labour. I'm in the USA but we're very close to setting this whole thing in motion.

Thanks for any help,
Joe

The Thai goverment webpage from where this drawing can be downloaded also have complete excel calculations for the cost of labour and material.
The cost for this house complete with tax and everything was estimated to 579.000 baht seven years ago.

I am building this house as a basic structure - ready for tiling of floor, fitting kitchen and bathroom, putting in doors and windows, building ceilings etc.
My plan is to complete this little by little with my own work and using the help of local skilled workers for which the going rate is 250 baht/day.

The 5 contracted workers should be finished with the basic structure in a week or so when they are done withe the plastering of the walls and som minor work on the roof.

So far I have spent 223.928 baht on all material used.
I doubt that shopping around for basic structure material will save any money if you don´t want to downgrade in quality.
Prices for CPAC-roofs, cement, steel truss for roof, steel rebar etc are pretty much the same in all places you ask.

Do you have a record of the material quantities, and the final cost?

Hi
I am in the process of designing a house for my move to Kamphaeng Phet,
and came across a free download called Sweet home 3d,
in my view a good free program that allows you to easily play with dimensions, add windows and doors and move them to where you want, plus arrange furniture to see what works, also add colour to your rooms and outside walls,
it's a bit addictive though, but good fun on a hot afternoon.
