1st off, I love this housing section on the forum. I love reading all the threads, so thanks for posting them.

 

Been with my wife 17 years, married 12years. Finally looking into buying land/building a house in the village.......But completion would be years away.

But my wife wants to build/buy a small house for her Mom to live in and move away from Bangkok

 

I don't mind, because if it's mobile.........we can use it as a guest house on the proper land/house we build. Or as a "farang hide from Thais" place 5555

 

How much do you think a small house like this would cost to build? (my BIL thinks around 200-300k)

 

Thanks for any info.........

Price depends on size. Materials included or just labour. 

It only looks around 20-30sqm. 100-200g depending on quality of materials 

You can punt round prefab/modular stuff

makers. This is a bit pricey, but may give

you ideas.

9,000 to 10,000 baht per SQM. 

 

All depends where you are though. Issan prices are a lot cheaper than say Pattaya. 
 

Where are you, I can send you a number for the builder that built our house. 

Hi guys,

think happen and living project homes are two companies that consult, coordinate and fabricate tiny homes, container homes and basically everything that fits in a small space. We have recently been involved in the amsterdam airport build, the university of Amsterdam business park, the student park in barcelona and now have built in morocco and recently in western australia. We have a few ideas for Thailand as we have secured a representative there to manage our sales and we get enquiries each day for more housing options.

 

Our process is to look at what you want and need, source locally and build locally if its cheaper than building at our head office. Why not drop us a line on [email protected] and we will look at your requirements. We build 3 types of houses which are standard, if you want to go outside the box :), then we accommodate your dreams too, but remember, its a 2 week build process for us, thats all…. then you are in your house.

 

Look forward to hearing from you

 

best rgds

Those were the days. Lived in one like this til Mum & Dad's 4th child came along.

I lived happily in telephone exchange for

20 years after the missus chucked me out

of my house.

Depends what facilities are already in place.

Guessing it's an 8x8 (total) build and if so this is a good, best case/worst case estimate.

If you're building a few on the same site then reduce the price 10-15%. Maybe 20%.

Few months ago I built an 8.5 x 5.5 1 bedroom + storage/ work space + extension for toilets - not top quality materials. All together 120k

I would humbly suggest bricks and mortar as opposed to wood - way way less problems.

Depends of your location and the materials you use

but seing the ponto in your post 200\300k seems a little bit ''pricey''

i think half of this if you ''check'' yourself all the real costs is more realist

Here is a site (only in Thai) with free house plans with building costs:

Did that include the blessing by the monks? 55555

Built mine 3 yrs ago 2600 per sq mt + materials, back then i had to buy all the wood for the form work, but now have been told they hire steel for the form-work.

I think that was 1000 baht on top. 3 monks in the living room, chanting for 2 hours.

Wow 

Some great info, I really appreciate it 

 

The village is in Suphanburi about 20mins from Singburi

2hrs from Bangkok
