CharlieH Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Location would factor in to the price you pay. Also if you want to get materials yourself and just pay labour costs, or you want someone to supply and build. Or do you intend doing it all yourself ? Approx dimensions ?

If I spent 15K I would wonder what I was doing wrong. Yes I am, but it depends entirely on the spec, which we dont know and I have made certain assumptions, I have assumed the interior is finished to an adequate standard and it has a concrete base, and finished floor etc. That aspect alone would eat your 15k.I suppose you would make mine for less too huh ?

JesseFrank Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Only what we see here, and assuming there is a concrete floor inside, 60.000 in materials, that is if he bought all the wood and it is decent hardwood. If the OP had all the wood laying around, then material cost would be the concrete floor only of course 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonman Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 A friend is doing a shed here in Pattaya about the same size as that and it is costing 130k. It is all bricks/concrete with a tiled roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the OP had all the wood laying around, then material cost would be the concrete floor only of course Would be inclined to agree with you on this one... Neversure had a thread going about costs, a couple of days ago. I hope this one is going to have AC,.....nothing worse than drinking hot beer in a stinking hot shed.

I must admit that I do all my building myself and that I think I have an idea of what a simple construction like this should cost, Wow 15k... The solid wood beams alone cost 3 to 4 times that....but of course you would know that right ? Oh....and the slab at 16 cube....?? Oh and even just the red bricks....circa 9000 of them at 8 satang each ? Any idea how much metal roof is ?....steel frame ?? Seriously its obvious you have not built much other than a dog kennel perhaps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Doing it ourself, buying materials and employing labour....pic taken yesdy Area is Khao Yai. Dimensions is 10m x 5m x 5m high. wow 5 meters high? that's pretty high. It will require columns built on site, with wall braces poured every couple of meters. and you would require a minimum of of six columns. IMO it will cost about 100.000 bht Now if you were doing it 3 Meters high,you can use the prefabricated columns, pour a slab. metal roof ,fill in the space between the columns with breeze block, and you are done. Easy to do. and a lot less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showbags Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Bricks not rendered....only internal wall between shed and bedroom/toilet.....and inside the toilet and bedroom....shed interior and all external walls left red brick raw.....this actually took them a long time to do as inbetween each brick they had to smooth back the cement to give that look of the brick sticking out of the wall a little bit.

wym Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Nicely done, and very frugally, good job! My first TGF spent 65K - all her own money saved up over 18 months from her allowance - to buy/build her family a transported secondhand teak house not far from Muang Buriram. So how in heck could a little SHED be estimated at 100?? Edited March 16, 2014 by wym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how in heck could a little SHED be estimated at 100?? Do the sums....do you know how expensive wood is here....then factor in quality redwood and around 20cm sq posts....x 21 Then steel roof....tis 160b a metre with insulation underneath..... and like I said above ...16 cube of concrete slab, so do the sums....and that ain't even a quarter of the materials.

cooked Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Methinks this guy wants to impress us with how much he spent on a 'shed'. This isn't a shed, and in his first posting he didn't mention the list of materials he used. Anyone that doesn't suggest a sum over ฿100 000.- is apparently an idiot. ( I have been building all my life, and not dog kennels). I helped my son in law rebuild his house to a high standard, steel joists, the lot, ฿20 000.- including concrete base... there again, we weren't ashamed of doing the work ourselves and I has assumed that the OP was going to proudly tell us how he did it himself. Strange post in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showbags Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) ^ high standard...20k baht.... I proudly tell the workers how to do it myself.....while they toil in the midday sun... Edited March 16, 2014 by Showbags 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
