This thread caught my interest for a couple reasons. I live in Roiet province and have been involved in 3 builds here. My house and helping friends find a builder. 

Agree, 15k baht per m2 will produce a quality build. 

There are some good builders but have a look at what they have built cuz that's what you will get.

Put together an agreement which defines progress payments and build schedule. A good builder will be familiar with this and have no prob accepting.

Professional plan drawings are preffered but I have seen good results with sketchup drawings. Being on site during the build is key no matter the type of plan.

Good builders I have worked with, as noted above, will not agree to buyer providing material and builder providing labor only.

Building a home in Isaan can be a challenge but if you do your homework in builder selection, should cost calculation, and be on site the majority of the build, all will be good.

My first post on the forum.

Interesting thread this.
