overherebc Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Pattaya area, What did you pay per square metre ? As title, concrete base already there. About 60 square metres, no fancy shapes, 10 x 6 rectangle 1. You supply tiles, builder supplies all other material. 2. You supply all materials. Cheers.

overherebc Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 What they charge per day is not what I'm looking for, a price per square metre is the question. If you pay by the day then they will take longer to do it, pay by the square metre then the time factor affects them not the person paying.

jamescollister Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Out here in the sticks where builders may work a few days at a time. Not rice or cassava time. We buy all the material and pay 60 Baht a square meter. Doing a load of tiles at the moment, not worked in 4 days, no payment until job is finished. Cheap, but slow.

Jim Cheers for that Jim, a lot cheaper than my first quote of 250 a square metre which has now come down to 150. That's for builder supplying everything except tiles. I suppose in this area 150 is not too bad. Still pushing to get it for maybe 120 but don't think it will go that low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Here in Bkk you are looking at anywhere from 150-300 baht psm. The price is dependant on the size of the tiles, eg 30x30 or 60x60cm. If you are supplying tiles you had better get it hammered out who will pay for any that get screwed up. You do know how to tap the tiles with a piece of wood to ensure they have been laid correctly do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 What they charge per day is not what I'm looking for, a price per square metre is the question. If you pay by the day then they will take longer to do it, pay by the square metre then the time factor affects them not the person paying. The flip side to that is if you pay by the sq metre, they do it too quickly and ultimately not properly. It's always a quandry choosing the best way and on my house build I have had jobs done in both ways. Personally, if it's an important and expensive job (usually aesthetically), without them taking the " micheal" out of me, I would sooner they not be rushed. If on day rate, I always ask beforehand how long they think it will take. From that you can roughly work it out to the price per Sq Meter anyway.
