Building and selling?

[Sealhead]

Hi everyone. I'm new here.

Quick question,

I am just about to retire in Issan with my wife and a couple of small kids.

We already have a home that we built a few years ago with my wife supervising and me watching from afar. A lot of emailed photos and quite a few problems with some of the builders we used.The end product turned out really well but it was a frustrating struggle and cost more than it should have to get it all done. I'm sure if you've built you know the story.

What I would like to do in a couple of months is build another home to western standards and sell it. I have built a number of homes in my own country as a general contractor and did very well from it.

If I do this how involved am I allowed to be? Would I be allowed to be hands on and work with the teams or can I just watch? Can I give direction directly, through my wife indirectly or will I only be able to stand in the background and secretly comment on what I want done?

The property will be in my wife's name but I will be the atm of course.

I don't want to break any laws but I really enjoy this kind of work and like getting my hands dirty.

I know there is an awful of building happening these days but I thought there might be a market for smaller quality buildings.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
