yopf Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi Guys. Admittedly we are not presently residing in Thailand, but when we do in a couple of years time, we want a retreat in the Kingdom. No renting, no Condo, no Walking Street - a humble abode. We would be grateful for any advise on construction companies in the south. We have land and (hopefully!!) good connections in the local building department. Many thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi first let me correct you, it's not ''we have land'' it's ''my wife\gf has land'' i presume you are not thai so you can not own land in Thailand then you are going to build a house with your money on her land My advice it's don't do it, or at least rent first for some months\years in this specific place before to take a decision About the ''good connections in the local building department'' if it's your wife\gf family or friends you are probably going straight for a good ride I dont develop here but if you bother to do some researchs (You probably will not) it's a classic situation Of course it's your money and your life, and of course as a lot of others (Me included) you are going to do it anyway maybe you can get lucky and you will have a nice retreat or maybe you will be unlucky and you will end losing your ''investisment'' i know, i know, your is different (Of course) but still, it's a bet good luck anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunderhill Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Pardon my cynicism, you do not have good connections, advice, if you have no experience of construction don't do it, even with experience you will need to be on site all day every day, they will try to take any shortcut possible, they are not like Swiss builders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
