    I will advice you to think in some heat isolation of the house, specially the sunny south side of the house and the roof. Thai builders is not very familiary with isolation of family houses, do not expect any thing in this way, if you do not demand it.

     

    Be prepared to be much time on the construction site to follow all types of the constructionswork, be prepared at many discusions with the building people. It will be a hard work to your wife.

     

    We where not using a head company when we where building our house, we where hiring directly bricklayer, electrician etc, we where happy for that, but you must have good connections locally to do that. One of my friends hired a head company to do the hole house, he had to go on a lot of compromises with quality, material and technical solutions, he never get happy with the house.

     

    Basicly be very critical before you write under any housebuilding contract. Not many farrangs know the thai language or thai contract rules, be carefull.

     

    I wish you good luck with the housebuilding

    Thank you for the words of advice.  Extra insulation is high on my list.  Unfortunately I am in america, so I cant be on site full time.  My wife's father and brother will be there full time and can watch the building and her brother works at a home pro so he can look at the materials coming in and make sure nothing shady is going on.  The builder I'm using may be a bit more in price than the local builder, but hopefully a bit more reputable.  

     

  2. Hello, I'm new to this forum and am looking for some advice.  My wife and I are investigating the building of a house in Si Wilai, Bueng Kan and have been talking to one builder so far.  We are looking for a 4 bedroom, 2-3 bathroom home, one floor if possible and something beetween 1.75m and 2.25 M baht.  The one builder we are talking to is AAA House.  I'm impressed so far.  Does anyone have any experience with them previously?

     

    Do you have any suggestions for competing home builders that I could call for possible plans and bids?

    Thanks Mark
