builder in roi et

[mike8888]

looking to build 160 sq meter two story house in roi et any builders you could recommend ? have drawings for the home and looking to get budget and process started 

 

[DILLIGAD]

Check out Alan the Builder. He has been in business building all across Isaan for a long time. He will be more money than other locals, who call themselves builders but less expensive than paying for errors (if they can be remedied afterwards).

Hello Sanook, I’m new to this website and signed up after seeing this post and in particular your message. I’m also looking to build a house in Roi Et and would prefer to do it by way of local builders and buying materials ourselves. My wife does know a few builders in the village but we aren’t that confident in them. Therefore any recommendations of good builders would be gratefully received. We are in Chaturaphak Phiman. Many thanks.

Hi Danny,Im afraid its a bit to far for him to travel,its about 100 km from Us one way. But from experience..ask around in the village and see there is someone who most people recomend,order all material yourself, ask for a fixed price before start. Try him on a smaller project before..good luck.

You could try chaikorat see him advertising on bahtsold these days. He did most of the bars in Soi Cowboy including my friends. Has a team who will go anywhere, builds tin sheds for sleeping in or rents cheaply locally.

 

If your wife is apprehensive about the locals you should be terrified.

 

Your problem is that you want a good job but you want to buy everything yourself. The best builders simply wont work that way

 

I guarantee you locals will walk halfway through the job and go pick rice or you'll have plumbers doing electrical work and you will be pulling your hair out in a month

 

Budget for 15k per sqm and get yourself a proper builder.......most like Alan or PD house are 20 to 25,000 baht these days but they don't build cinder block huts with tin roofs and call them houses

15k per square metre is easily enough that you won't end up with a "cinder block hut with a tin roof".

 

Our build was slightly under that, built by my wife's uncle and was built to my spec and completed on time. Sure there were occasions when there was a death in the family or a wedding that needed attending but that is part of living in Thailand.

 

Like anywhere in the world, you need to check out the builder first. Look at some of his own work, ask others if they know about him.

 

Just take a look at all the very houses popping up around places like Roi Et. Usually belonging to teachers, doctors or government officers and being built by local builders.

Hope they are not as unlucky as our local bank manager.

 

1.4 million and the crack runs side to side and right through the kitchen at the rear.

 

Had a look for him only solution is a partial rebuild but he can't afford  to fix it just now

 

He had a local patch it but it's opened up again.  

 

The problem with some locals is materials have changed and are heavier but they still build the old way

Looks like there were no wall ties.

 

A fundamental error that should have been picked up by said bank manager.

Why, What should a bank manager know about construction? (Or a rice farmer).
You pays your money, you take your chances. Mistakes are usually very expensive to remedy, if they are possible.

He reckons 340,000 baht to knock the back off and rebuild it.

 

Definitely no wall ties cant tell from the photos but you can see right though to the back door on the far side.

 

The main reason is they have gone within a foot of the edge of the landfill at the rear and that is where the land is subsiding.

 

Plus the concrete was hand mixed as the big CPAC trucks have no access.....guarantee there would be so much water to make it easy to mix it would have looked like custard :0)

A bank manager will likely have seen a plethora of house plans. He would need to see them prior to issuing any housing loans. He is not likely to lend any money to build a property unless he is happy with the way the structure will be built. 

[Tanlic]

Plethora geezus where do you get these words????

 

Most of the land in the area is sor por gor no planning permission required no loans available

 

I could design that house on napkin and he probably picked the style from a photo and a sketch

Then more fool him. For someone who is educated to a level to be a bank manager, he really messed up.

 

A friend of mine, or at least his wife, borrowed money and used the house as collateral. He showed me the plans of the house that they needed to borrow and the loan agreement, as it was in Thai and he wanted me to explain. It had all the details of the entire structure.

 

When I said that the bank manager should have seen plans before that is what I meant. Whether it is a housing loan on existing property or a new build, regardless of area, most bank managers will have knowledge because of the myriad of times they have been involved in such transactions.

Whilst different companies/countries may have different processes, in the 26 years that I worked in a bank, I never saw managers study building plans. That was done by staff of a specialist department or insurance company.
I was a Lending Assistant Manager in Brixton during the times of the riots.

Not the bank managers role to approve the plans of a loan application that is the role of qualified builders and others like engineers

We are not talking about working in UK. In Thailand all loan applications have to go through the manager. There are meetings held between the loan staff memebr, assistant manager and manager. The manager always has to sign the agreement. I know this as my wife and daughter run a translation business and have  been asked to translate loan agreements from Thai to English for the benefit of expats involved.

 

If I did not know this I would not have made my first post. I prefer to post from experience rather than speculation.

I did not say it was. The bank manager has to see the plans before he will issue the loan. I would imagine they have already been approved at this point.

He's not a fool he just didn't know anything about construction like 95% of the Thai population

 

 

You really have no idea what you are talking about. He is the bank manager in a village sitting on Sor Por Kor land and there are thousands of villages like it in rural Thailand.

 

You can not borrow on the land it is illegal and while the bank will give you a loan it is on a personal basis depending on status.

 

The chances of him even seeing plans is next to zero because no one needs planning permission in that area which is the case in thousands of villages.

 

Banks on the main won't lend money using a house if you don't have plans or it wasn't built by a recognized developer. In Pattaya and other non cities residents can't even remortgage their homes although that is changing

 

So why for one minute would you think a bank manager from bumfukidaho would have ever seen house plans? For someone who uses big words I have to google your not the brightest LOL

 

Anyway they don't even read the ones they see. They hand them to the appraisal officer mostly who sub contract and they go out and value the place.

seems like mike8888 is another character who starts a thread then disappears. Maybe the money he was using to build fell at the 2nd fence at Aintree lol

Personal attacks,eh???

 

"the bank manager in a village"? So he is the custodian of the village funds and not a branch manager? 

 

I know of at least 3 houses within 5kms of me that only this past 6 weeks have had bank loans issued against them that have not been built by recognised developers, so that's out.

 

I know, form personal experience, that bank managers do see plans. It is in their best interest, with monthly and annual figures to meet, that they don't issue loans on rogue plans. It appears the gentleman whom you are speaking about is not a branch manager so that is understandable.

 

If I have seriously used any words that you had to "google" then......well. ??

[youreavinalaff]

My wife's aunt recently took out a mortgage on her house. The family built the house themselves.

 

There was quite a long meeting with the bank manager and his loan assistant involved to discuss the plans and history of the building.

The bank manager is with BAAC who's headquarters are in Bangkok 

 

Who said they MUST be built by a recognized developer?  I didn't don't you understand the word OR? 

 

What amazes me is suddenly right out of the blue you know 3 people who got loans in the last 3 weeks.........and boing!! said Zebedee

 

Personal insults?...never use them but I do believe I know who you might be.

 

Do you write stories for the TV program Jackanory...Jackanory Jackanory?

 

I wonder because your great at making up stories????

Yep can't argue with that as long as the plans were done by a qualified person that is acceptable, is my understanding

No plans. In fact, I would doubt any houses in our village have been built by professionally made plans. Ours for one.
