    Hi guys Alan the builder here.
    I pay 3 % for all my workers I don't deduct it from there wages I pay it for them .
    My workers are also classed as part time as we go from one contract to another and normally we have a break between each contract .
    I'm told if full time it's 5 % .
    Also I'm told the % age can change depending on the economy.
    I'm no expert but this is what I'm told .

    Can anyone tell me the going rate to hire a 5ton digger for a couple of days in Udon Thani please, self drive, and where is the best place to get one? It has to be at least a 5 ton machine.
    Also, best place to order concrete and rebar for foundations in Udon Thani.
    Thank you
    Hello Damian .
    I've been in the building game here for 15 plus years and have 2 diggers we are Surin based so cant help sorry .
    From my knowledge no one over here will let you drive the machine , and if they did you would need to be very careful as most don't take good care of the machines and if something breaks you might well get landed with the bill .
    My advice hire the machine with a driver .
    Ask the guys doing the road contracts .
    Good luck

    Only in thailand could builders screw up a good product like PU foam spray. Nothing better for insulation if installed properly.

    I've see some colour bond steel roofing sheets what has the same spray foam on the underneath , not cheap but very good to make the steel roof sheet insulated and none noisy .
    I took a lighter and puff up in smoke black smoke and flames , the lady in the shop selling it was in a shock .
    Colour Bond is an Aus product , sold in Thailand .

    You should get a better installer who uses quality materials and knows his job.
     
     

    Yes maybe the company that did the spray foam were bad I agree , but not going to say who .
    If the right tiles are fitted normally there is no problem .
    C Pac are a good roof tile .

    It burns very easy and gives off black smoke loads of , it's highly toxic and dumps won't allow people to even tip it .
    All I'm saying is if can better not use .
    I'm not name or shaming any company ( I could ) I'm just telling the truth .

    Sorry to disagree .

    Alanthebuilder could probably be correct about the foam spray, but I have noticed the Pattaya house seems cooler when we have visited. Probably subjective, and I wouldn't contradict a professional builder.

    Also this is highly flammable with toxic smoke !
    If you want to cool your home better use lagging On Top of the ceiling boards (none flammable and cheaper ).

    Hello, I am currently building a home near Mukdahan, does anyone know of a company or person that does the spray on PU foam insulation for the roof, I am not confident the cement tiles will not leak during heavy rain and wind, when they installed the tiles, I could see daylight through most of them, please let me know if you can recommend someone or another way to seal the cement tiles.
     
    Thank you

    C pak monier are very good tiles , I knew 1 company that did this foam spray I put him into 4 jobs all failed , it can work sometimes but better to use good door tiles and not this rubbish.
