Thank you iriguy,
I will contact Alan and send him the basic idea we have to get some better idea of what we are dealing with now.
We do not know what the construction costs are, 2018. I have read of a few house builds on different forum threads but most are several years old. Will be in touch.

On highway 118 that runs past Doi Saket there is a newly refurbished Ban Jaak petrol station on the right hand side. Opposite this, left turn off the highway, is the village of Pa Tung Luang where I lived for 20 years before moving to my wifes birth village...

Thank you Lungstib, that is very good info.
The area of the land is actually in Luang Nuae and it sounds like that is where you lived(?)
You would know Viva Bene probably too, built by a Swiss guy, and perhaps the cancer hospital, another project by a German that was never finished.
In any case, we will look into the details you have provided. We do not speak Thai ourselves but are looking forward, finally, to getting our little project to fruit.

We purchased land 4 years ago 1000 sq m (@28m x 35m) when we worked locally 2013-2014, and got to know European and Australians who had built various villas and houses and began processes to build our own.

Have not been able to get back since due to obligations back home, but we now want to begin to build 3 two storey houses across the block, starting with the first which we will live in, and be present during building and to manage. The plan is to realize the first house, begin starting building around October.

The style will be mixed farang and Thai style: concrete walls, wood features. We have a general idea of style and layout.

Looking for recommendations for a Chiang Mai good draftsperson and a builder. Working to budget; trustworthy pricing, reasonable quality.

If you can assist, know anyone who might fit the bill please send message, link here. 

Looking forward to getting back to Thailand.

Thank you
