Yeah, the "as-built" drawing set can be a good bit different from the plans...

This was my first idea as well. But there is really enough space, I actually do not care how many sqm it is. I need the plan for the measurements of the furnitures and their placement. Thats all.

You can buy a tape measure on Shopee for 25 baht.

It seems a bit strange that you want this now, it's something I've been given prior to deposit. 

 

Why is it so important to have, why do you need a floor plan? 

You don't need a floor plan for furniture etc. a measuring tape is all that's required. 

 

Are you German by any chance, I reckon you are being pedantic, caring too much about minor details. 

 

Eh? 

 

Are there any German men on this forum; I think they are super reliable & responsible. ???? A happy relationship is all about attending to the details. ???? A German man would be top of my wishlist... ????????????

Hahahaha, yes that is the one guarantee you can always count on. In Thailand build plans are only a suggestion of what to do

We drop in from time to time to control what all your Brits, Yanks and Aussies are propagating to the world.

 

Super reliable and responsible - not far from it. I am married nearly 17 years with my Thai wife and we get along very well and no way would my wife or myself be a condidate for some adultery. But good luck for you. Really.

And by the way it is not for you to judge

You are absolutely right. I would not buy a new house if the builder not supplying floor plans, not only for measurements but also "plumbing and electrical" plans. To me those are important for future repairs or modifications.

So does the UK where you buy a pint of beer but a litre of petrol etc:

But they don't put a pint of beer in a half litre glass.

 

When they made the change to metric, beer and milk were allowed exemptions. Ask for a whisky and you will get a metric measure.

I had my house drawn up to my requirements and took the plans to a builder. I lived on site and everyday checked what they had done, picked up several errors. Overall though they did a very good job, 13 years old this month and no real complaints.

I meant expensive houses, not rat holes.

I would suggest most here, would not have a clue what a 1/16" is.

 

The rest of the civilised world metricated in the 70's except for the third world countries of Liberia and Myanmar and of course the US.

 

To be fair, the US did legislate Metrication but it was not mandated, in effect reneging of their planned transition to join the rest of the world.

 

 

Pity nobody told NASA or whoever it was that built the Hubble telescope. They were using metric and imperial measurements , but it seemed that nobody told anybody which to use. The rest is history. ????
