Gary A Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Excluding land, you can get a relatively nice house built for about 12,000 baht per square meter. Now we will have some posters calling that price way too high but keep in mind that material prices have gone way up in the past couple of years.

cdmtdm Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Thanks Gary , yes it does also get back to the type of finish you want ,which in my opinion eats up a lot of money ... i guess i should have posted as to the cost per sq m approx to get to lockup stage , ie..roof on , windows doors in ready for finishing trades ...

Gary, IMHO, you are doing well these days if you can get a house built for a total cost of 12k per s/m, with the cost of steel and wood more like 15k. Flooring costs, do you want wood floor, thats about 2k per s/m, granite floor 1k per s/m or tiled floor 500 baht. Doors and windows, Upvc is about treble the cost of wood. Roof tiles, ceramic? Purlins, steel or aluminium? Finishing trades, that would be plasters and painters, probably the cheapest of the lot, after the plumbers and electricians have finished. OP should head over to the DIY forum, there are many threads about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of that was the labour cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commachio Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) If your happy enough for something to fit into a village and not stand out, then 12-15k m2 is about right.. Anything a bit more, let's say western styyle will cost you more.. For example smart blocks or ku-cons have just gone up 7-8 baht per block...excuse being the floods?

Gary A Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 For 12,000 baht per square meter, you are getting suitable roof tiles, doors and windows. The floors will be ceramic tiles and there will be only standard sinks and toilets. Property walls and gates are not included. It will be the extras that drive the price up. PVC windows, insulating blocks, cabinets, high grade sinks and fixtures are extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
