    Thanks Boes, look forward to seeing the pictures.
    Was over to the property today with a couple of workers removing 10 columns left there by the previous owner, who had started building something but abandon it, Tomorrow we will go there and remove a big dead tree, and a bunch of small live ones, and brush, and next week we will see about starting the perimeter wall , about 164 fl meters 2 m high , except in the front where it will be 1 m high with 1 m of metal on top.Then I will level the whole lot with some dirt and leave it until we come back in the summer, at which time we will be ready to start building. I am trying to decide between this house plan, a split level design I show in a book, and a two level design of my own.
    I am looking forward to seeing your pictures.
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    I would be curious to know who you are using to build the place. Do you have a building supervisor? There is one in NK I'm looking into called NKD. Are you familiar with them?

    Thanks.

    I looked at a house he was having built. Typical thai build, corners cut, looking along an outer wall the lines of the blocks were in a wave, not straight etc. Not a big house but it should cost 5 mil. I talked to him about building our house but after I told him I was not impressed with that house, he never got back to me as he said he would. I would not use him. More expensive but not any better than any village crew.

    Thanks for the information.

    I have had some brief correspondence with the guy and planning on meeting him in December when I'm over there. I was hoping he'd work out, but now have reservations.

    Price 1.437,000 incl. perimeter wall about 240 metres.
    Should be finished by now with a connecting "Thai kitchen" between the house and the carport, adding 187,000 to the total price.
    More pics on the way...

    UPDATE:
    I met with the guy from NDK in January when I was over there. Nice guy, but I suspect he builds upscale places in gated communities. Prices a bit upscale also.

    Wife has an auntie in Nong Khai who is a well known business woman now building a lot of apartments as part of her retirement plan. She told us his prices were too high, so we will probably go through her builder. She knows the territroy, has never steered us wrong, but I still want to be able to communicate in English.

    Boes...did your builder in Nong Khai work out?

    boes, some questions. Did u modify the plans? In the drawings it looks like the entrance is in the middle of the front of the house- in your pics it looks like its on the far right (picture right). What was the total sq ft./m. upon completion of the house? Do you have any interior pics- like tile floors/"wood"? How high is your property wall? How was payment done to contractor- lump sums upon agreed amounts of work? (and if so, I am curious about how much was paid for what at a time). PM me if you feel more comfortable talking via that route. Thanks!

    ^^ and also, boes, did you have to raise/fill/ pack or whatever the land before building? If so, how much dirt, what was the cost and how long for it to settle?
