Hi can someone please give me some idea of cost to rebuild a basic house in sukhothai area? It is located about 45mins from sukhothai and is in a farming village. My thai wife says it will cost THB150,000 to demolish the old grey brick place and build a new one from wood on concrete posts. Plan is to have it basic with only a few rooms. The roof will be the common blue tiles you see everywhere and walls will be wood weather boards, so nothing really fancy!

The house at the moment is about 9 metre wide by 7 metre deep and is on a concrete slab. The walls are grey hollow concrete blocks, and the roof is corrugated zinc sheets that are about 6 years old or so. There is a built in squat toilet, running water, basic lighting and that's all. Kitchen has charcoal pot or gas bottle wok burner on stand, and there is a free standing sink. The floors have old vinyl covering and no tiles. The new place will be much the same standard. Any ideas and suggestions would be much appreciated, remembering its very rural there.

Thanks

Pete

Hi, can anyone please help with is question?

Thanks

Hi...I think a very basic house would cost about $5,000.00 to $10,000.00...all depending on what you put in it.

Good luck on the house.
