Home renovation costs?

Featured Replies

 

Hi DIY community! I'd like some help from any of you who have had home renovations done, preferably in northern Thailand and specifically Chiang Mai. 

 

There's a nice property I'm interested in renting, 98sqm on two floors. It needs quite a bit of renovation work - both in terms of infrastructure, and more cosmetic stuff. 

 

Could anyone offer some insight (rough and ballpark figures) into how much it would cost for each of the following: 
- Full electrical installation 
- Full repiping 
- Creating a couple wall openings for windows
- New window installation
- Reflooring
- Repairing wood walls and floor
- Wall painting, interior and exterior
- Garden landscaping (getting rid of concrete, levelling up the soil,  and making it ready for planting) 
- Installing new material onto existing laminate roof (eg. adding a layer of bamboo or similar)

 

Thank you very much!

Its a total rebuild mate, since your that fussy on a rental the sky the limit.
