DreamRider Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Good day. Can someone give me a ball park figure for the cost to fill one rai of land to 1.5 metres height around Warin area. Many thanks CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maprao Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We pay 450 baht for a large truck. Plus the guy to level it off with a bulldozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) It all depends on how many m3 1 dump truck can deliver (plus ofcourse the price per truck and the bulldozer) But you can use this rough calculation (I am using 8m3 per truck) To raise one rai by 1.5m = 1600m3 x 1.5 x 1.2 (compaction factor) = 2880m3 / 8m3 (1 truck) = 360 truck loads @ (maproa price) 450 THB = 162.000 THB Btw: Thanks to Soundman for the original idea Edited February 18, 2013 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescollister Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 All depends on the distance the truck has to travel, we paid 150 per truck load, but less than a km away. Wait till some one is putting in a dam or digging rice paddies nearby, then it's cheap. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CelticBhoy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 We are doing a very similar sized plot at the moment in Mukdahan for 20K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamescollister Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Rai is 1,600 square meters X 1. 5 = 2, 400 S/M Don't know how much a tip truck holds, some one in the building game my know. Simple maths after that. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say you are dreaming I have to agree with John_1, as that would come out at around +/- THB 100 per truck ! (1600m2 / 8m3 = 200 Trucks, 20,000 THB / 200 = 100 THB) Where 8m3 is the m3 one truck approx holds !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamRider Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Many thanks for your input here chaps. I filled 1.5 rai to about a metre in Udon Thani 6 years ago for about 120,000, but my wife has recently been given an utterly ridiculous estimate hence my seeking reassurance!!! 150 to 200,000 was the figure I was guess-timating.

pairadocks Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Just filled in an area of 3000 sqm a couple months ago to a depth of 1.5m Cost per truck load was 600 Baht. Price is rising pretty steadily as they are having more difficulty finding fill. Company provided dozer and road grader as well. All in...120000Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in...120000Baht That's a hell of a big truck, equates to 22.5 cubic meters/ truckload without ant extra charges for leveling! (120000/600 = 200. 3000 x 1.5 = 4500 4500/200 = 22.5) God price and hell of a truck! Edited February 19, 2013 by wayned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hare Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I wonder how many billions of baht it is costing Central for their land fill in Ubon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isanbirder Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Whenever you fill land, be careful to count the number of truckloads arriving on your land. It's not unheard of for truckers to overcharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had someone taking a ticket from each driver ...... also keep an eye on the amount in each truck!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdavenangrong Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 We recently raised two plots, one was 300 truckloads, 350 baht per truck, price included tractor to move and level. The other plot was 100 trucks into town, price was more 450 baht because further to travel also included tractor. This is in Nangrong Buriram. The person in charge gave a small book containing 2 sets of numbers up to 100 and I gave 1 number to each driver, so as to record how many loads have arrived.
