The OP has made just two posts, each post is for a different commercial property.

Maybe it is time to employ an architect or Quantity Surveyor.

Anybody who asks for such information via the internet is asking for trouble.

I think people in the business know the cost for this without architect drawings or Quantity Surveyor.

what trouble will I get from asking?

Why not translate the rough specs you have in the OP and take them to a Thai builder, actually three or four builders and get their answer to you're question.

Professional advice is not welcome in this forum as the title suggest: "Do it Yourself".

What that have to do with professional advice, is it a Professional secret what the price is on material? I think also many "Do it Yourself" know the price.

But ok, I understand this is not the forum that wants to help with this.

This is also better and easier to post a non helping and degrading post.

The question was not more than what is the estimated cost for cement and iron for a 3 story building, sorry I can’t see the difficulties in answering on that only.

The thing is makeahouse, it just seems a bit lazy on your part to ask everyone else to do the legwork for you. If you are serious about building what seems quite a sizeable project, surely you would want to know all the details of what the materials are costing you not just ask on a web forum?

Hey if you like I'll get me and my boys over to knock you up a factory no problem, let me see...three stories...19x25...10m tall...Let's call it a round 74 million baht. Have it finished by the end of June, we'll start next Tuesday OK?

I think what JRinger was suggesting in his post when saying, "advice from professionals is not welcome on this forum". Example: Someone with a lifetime of experience gives their "professional advice/opinion" on a particular subject and is almost always shot down by the 'arm-chair-experts' so they don't bother to come back.

Example2: Someone posted a question a while back about replacing floor tile: It was suggested (from a "professional") that new tile can be applied to the the existing surface rather than tearing out the old tile & thin concrete bed. The idea was totally rejected in favor of tearing out the old and replacing it the same way. Even common sense will tell you that the "professional" way is easier, quicker, less messy and yes, cheaper.

There are many other examples but why waste the time with the arm-chair-experts and know-it-alls if your "professional" advice is rejected every time? and in addition, if someone is serious about building or remodeling, why ask an 'arm-chair-expert'? who will tell you anything he wants without consequence, while on the other hand, the "professional" has his reputation to consider.....

OK...I'm not saying there isn't some good and viable information available on this site and others but you have to decide for yourself what's best in your particular situation.........

and just because someone has the experience of some particular aspect of construction, be it estimating, material choices, etc., doesn't mean he should give away his knowledge just because someone asked for it?.....ever get free info from lawyers, doctors, etc. The information you're asking for may take a short while to answer for a professional but "professionals" get paid for their time & advice....On the other hand, "trading" is perfectly acceptable. Say you're a brilliant and successful currency trader and you want the information you've asked for and willing to 'trade' information....great...but if you ask for free information without anything to offer in exchange, good luck.......and as a side note: I can almost predict with 99% accuracy that some arm-chair-expert will respond to my above responce with a cynical and/or rude comment.....hence the statement: "professional advice is not welcome on this forum".

note2: I built a 2,000 m2, 2-story, electronics factory in Korat in 1997 for a total cost of 9,000 baht/m2

It would seem to me the right way of doing this kind of project is to have the plans in hand and get some builders to give a bid on the project as specified in the OP. To come on here and ask the general DIY population their opinion will only generate comments like have been posted already. I think the OP needs to ask the local builders this question not here on TV. Once he has some price quotes I think it would be a better discussion to come on here and ask if the quoted prices are reasonable or not.

The people here that may have built factories or shophouses have some experience and costs but those material and labor costs are always changing so to ask here is not going to get fruitful answers as that was last year or in another part of Thailand. Readers here have no idea of the budget or the finish of this project or the design to give any "real" accurate answer

Thanks Excaliber.

Finally an answer I can use to some thing, anybody else that can help?

So a quote for a smaller building, in a different area, 13 years ago is helpful?

OK I had a one bed, en suite, single storey bungalow built in Kanchanaburi, about 16m2, in 2001. cost me 70,000 baht all in.

Hope this helps.

forgot to mention: the cost included a/c & special heppa filter system, British Steel roof, concealed rain gutters and my salary. The original contractor tender/bid was more than double the finished cost before revising the design/plans from single story, cheap roof, etc.....Most people don't understand the advantages of hiring a competent Project Manager.
