bodga Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 7 hours ago, steven100 said: toilet alone is around 30k ... no one can do a toilet for 20k unless you do all the work yourself. dig a hole for the septic ? install the plumbing ? sink & toilet ? water tank and/or town connection ? tiling ? painting, water proofing to the shower ? Makro one hour 600 baht, concrete rings 10, dont buy a plastic tank, toilet cheap 1500 non squat, there are many ways to get the price down and it still be good the main problem is workmanship quality, sadly lacking, The red tiles I used look good (I like them) and are very cheap per m2 unlike those hideous Thai style lime green or pink tiles etc hahah, these are some ways to keep costs down, personally Id hire 1-2 men on a DAY rate only and supervise it everyday all day NOT hire a builder.

bodga Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 7 hours ago, MaiDong said: I thought so, now for my next question; if my budget is 200k, could I get what I want but with relatively nice gables & timber framed doors & windows? I've found this image of a place down south, I'm doubtful I could create the same for the money, but it was the best representation of what I would like mine to look like(on the outside), what are my chances? And if this would go over my 200k budget, what would something similar to this cost? 30+smq, single room with bathroom, decent insulation and gabled roof... Ok forget the double level roof more complication/time= money, dont use tiles use the metal roofing with the tile style imprinted into it, forget the wood windows they will be high maintenance and not fit as well, get off the shelf upvc at global house or get aluminium ones made BOTH now available in wood finish so look pretty good the ally ones in dark brown for that wood colour look, a flat pitch roof will be cheaper faster but not as pretty spend the money on fibre glass insulation under the roof, its cheap and effective 2 inch is enough after that returns on insulation are minimal to cost, buy the galvanised steel for roof beams , 200k yes i would say so 30m2, when you order concrete get GANZUM added to it this will give you waterproof concrete no stupid damp tide marks up the wall where ground water permeates up, it costs 100 baht a time, stupid not to do that. Hire 1-2 workers only NOT a builder and be your own onsite ALL day manager, this will keep your costs right down, precast concrete columns use the 5 inch not 4 inch size they are too thin. The photos I sent you are the cheapest way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey346 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Just moved in to my custom built home on land we owned for quite some time. I asked my builder to cost out a small guest house.. about 30sqm. He said he can do it for B300,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twocatsmac Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 19 hours ago, MaiDong said: I'm thinking of just a single block, with a small bathroom, nothing special, probably around 30-ish sqm. I assumed you’d be DIY as I am, 22sqm total. £1750 gbp max and that’s mainly the roof and some more blocks. I’ve all services on site and have spare doors,windows,tiles etc already.

cornishcarlos Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) 40,000... It will be finished off a lot nicer at some point and an outside bathroom added below... It suits us for camping out at our plot in Chaiyaphum... The wood was recycled from another older house we had on the plot.

Sametboy2019 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Know somebody who built a 24sqm room with toilet. 50,000 baht labour. Materials obviously will depend on what you choose but well within your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaiDong Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Right, thanks for all the useful replies, it turns out that my Wifes' uncle is a builder in the village(she told me a long time ago but I'd forgotten), that might be a positive or a negative thing. I'll post again when things get going, I'd appreciate it if this thread could stay open as I'll add to it as time goes by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
