monty Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Has anybody here recently built one of those walls made of rocks? I need about 20 meters long by 2 meters high built, I got some quotes from local constructors, but rather high prices (around 3,000 Baht/sqm). Love to find somebody doing it for under 2000 Baht.

monty Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Thing is, I built about 1 km of those walls with own staff. So I know the cost price. 500% profit margin is a bit over the top for me Unfortunately all the staff I used to have are upcountry, and for a relative small job it would be quite expensive to get them over here, plus most are occupied in other jobs...

binnsy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah there appears to be a good mark up on walls.I have had a house built for 1.5 million but i asked about a wall and was quoted 4200 per lock and i needed 110 locks which adds up to 462,000.Now bering in mind the cost of house i found this figure totally unacceptable.The land is 2 Rai.

Love to find somebody doing it for under 2000 Baht. We built a 20 meter wall at a cost of B1,600 per sq meter with a 30 cm deep foundation. Talked to the people but Chon Buri is too far for them. Lights included by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Small update, finally found a contractor (big one), doing those walls at 800 Baht/sqm. He counts the foundation as area as well, fair enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
