johnson36 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) My wifes parents village is between Udon Thani and Sakhon Nakhon, near Donkuang Where would be the best place to buy building materials to get the best price and quality ? They are starting to build a single story bungalow and need to buy 13 precast concrete piles this week, what price should they be paying ?

stgrhe Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I would go for Global. They are located on the ring road if I am not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farma Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 From a couple of years ago the prices were pillar 6" x 6" x 4M = 840.00 Baht pillar 5" x 5" x 4M = 540.00 Baht There is a list I posted of other costs post #5 in this thread http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Cost-Buiding...ls-t154876.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 If you ask for piles you will end up with a piling rig and piles for hammering into the ground, I suspect you want sow poons, they are not expensive but be careful they may look strong but do not have heavy gauge steel in them suitable for a reasonably heavy roof. It is more usual to cast sow poons on site. An often used sow poon is a concrete drain pipe re enforced with steel then cement poured in, be careful of cavities though if not vibrated down.
