    What to do, I will ask a Thai friend to communicate for me and find out why they did not comply with specs.

    Because they do not care and take the path of least resistance. You should not have left until they had changed the filter.

    Thats the trouble with a lot of them, silly prices esp when the white face is spotted.

    My wife is dealing with them as i am out of the country at the moment.

    She called several builders, most did not turn up. The ones that did were not interested in small jobs the others measured up and did not bother to send a price as agreed.

    The builder we used was from Facebook, his page shows pictures of nice work he has done. He came on time and gave the price on the spot. The work started 2 days later. Unfortunately, he has tried to get away with supplying low quality products. My wife is trying her best to deal with the situation, but she suffers from Thainess!

    The question is if it really was agreed and if your wife is on your side that that was agreed.

    My wife agrees the door is low quality.

    The builder is asking for another 8,000 baht to fit a quality door.

  4. The total job, laying about 15 Q-con blocks, rendering and fitting a new door was 12,000bt.

    They were told that we wanted quality hardwood door to match the other back door on the opposite side of the house before the price was given. The door style is the same but the quality is low.

  5. Had a bit of block-work done and a new back door fitted. However, the new door is already split in several places. I think it was the cheapest door they could find. I have told my wife to reject the door, but the builders say they cannot return the door and another coat of paint and it will be ok! I have instructed my wife not to pay the final payment until it is replaced as the splits will only get bigger.

    Just got back from MG and their second hand person took pictures looked at the book and will get back to us.   Apparently he's not the one that sets the price and hopefully I'll find out tonight or tomorrow.

    They will low ball you. I guess they will offer about 300k.

  7. We are removing an alcove by adding a new wall and a new doorway. However, the new wall will attach to a partly tiled wall, so will the tiles need to be removed before the area is cement rendered?

    Burglars usually come back twice, maybe put some CCTV up as a deterrent 

    I have the cameras in the house waiting for me to fit when i get back next month.

    I may have the wife put them outside on the table near the back door and have them record to the cloud as a temporary measure.
