malcolminthemiddle Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 What are the legal binding warranty periods for construction work and associated equipment in Thailand? I heard that structural defects is 5 years? Reference to the corresponding Thai legislation would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VyacheslavKHV Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Warranty is five years for a structure and one year for non-structural parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VyacheslavKHV Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Consumer Protection Act B.E. 2522 (1979) and the Royal Decree Prescribing Bases and Procedures in Relation to a Business that is Subject to Contract Control and Description of a Contract B.E. 2542 (1999). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically until your last payment is made. If it’s a big company you may get some things covered. But legal binding? A judgment against someone with no assets? Big companies guarantee products, small, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrogaz Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Good luck getting any at all. My "builder" has no money so what am I going to sue for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatOngo Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Depends on how much retention you hold on them and for how long you negotiate to hold it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertson468 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 When I had my little Resort built, I told the builder there would be a 10% Retention Fee for 1 year. If anything happened, the cost would be taken out of the Retention Fee if he did not fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I got a one year warranty on my house from my builder, the roof started to leak, yes he fixed it, after i had paid for the numerous amounts of expensive frigging silicone for him to use. It just wasn't worth the argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is not law right? I was told the house I am buying had a 5 year warranty by the agents, but now just before I have to pay my full 10% I find that it's only one year! But I had nothing in writing from the agents so I can't prove that I was mislead. This bothers me a lot, it was the main reason for buying new build Any comments?
