  1. Built this year, just about finished, move in later this month.

    Posted Imagesteel.jpgPosted Imagetile.jpg

    Roof must be 100-150m2, it's just a normal 3 bedroom 2 storey house, nothing special.

    Guess yours is a bungalow, which would double the roof area.

    Land 650k, Build 900k, developer profit 150k, taxes 100k = total 1M8.

    I don't have specific prices apart from the land, rest is a guesstimate.

    Our building is a rectangle - I have never been certain what a bungalow is.

    Your roof may cost around 225,000 baht.

    Our roof is more than double the size of yours so the actual cost per square meter sounds very similar.

    Enjoy your new house!

    Ours is rectangle shaped also. 24 metres by 12 metres plus front verandah is 12x3. The roof is pitched up 2 metres.Total cost for the steel frame, roofing iron and bits and pieces like screws, welding rods, anti rust paint for the welding seams and labour for all that was about 200 thousand baht. I'm organizing the build myself.

    Op if your anywhere near Khon kaen, I've got good tradesman if you need any.

    yes I need good contractors in udon for when I come in march

  3. with my house design the front room i want will be 6m x 5m so i was thinking could i use steel rsj's which i think will span further distance, also this could mean useing throughout the buildig cutting the amount of poles and time considerably so cutting the cost,, or is steel that expensive? what other options are there?????

  4. So with these tiles I will be alright with my poles (some) being 5 meters apart? Also will it be possible to get 2meter eaves detail?? Thanks for the help.

  5. Can anyone tell me how far apart the poles need to be. I see on cth someone says 4m grids. Is this right surely I can have a bigger room than 4m2 without poles intruding

  6. thanks all for your advice. also does anyone out there no how much roughly for a 2m high wall block and pillars and rendered finish @ 78 linnear meters.

  7. Having been-there-done-that in Udon (I live near Ban Dung) maybe I can give you some starters if you plan to build:

    If you are looking for a "crew of builders", then you need to have a plan and know everything about putting up a house in Thailand before you look for that crew. Chances are, the crew will be family members or village folks if you will be living there.

    If you will be living in one of the Ampurs or Udon, you may be better off looking for something to buy.

    A 130 sq. m structure is too vague. "How many poles?" - is what you will be asked. Again, you need some type of architectural plan to even start the process.

    This is after happy hour but can give you more of my experience if you want tomorrow. Or, go through every thread in this forum related and you will get the ideas/knowledge for what you might be contemplating.

    thanks i would be gratefull of any help. i have only just bought the land in udon just south of the airport. i am back in the uk now but will be back in udon in march next year so there is no rush. i can only build in stages as live in the uk and have limited funds. thanks shaun
