Looking for a house builder in Chiang Mai

[spooky2015]

Hi,

i am new in here....not yet sure where i should post my topic, here or in the local Forum. :-/

Well, me and my Thai wife we are on the way to buy some land in Chiang mai area. Anybody out there who can recommend a good house builder?

Regards

This will probably work better in the local forum, let's try it there.

Meanwhile what services are you looking for? Architect and engineer or just construct from plans you already have?

I have a very good architect contact..

Builders will depend on lots of factors.. how much farang premium you looking to pay or not pay to manage the build or have it done.. Location of eventual land purchase.. etc..

Yes, i heard, it´s not really easy to find a good builder in Thailand.

The only advice I could offer is to not fall into the farang builder trap. Unless you just have extra money to spend.

A farang contractor in farangland has mostly quality workers. Here all work is done by Thais whether you have a Thai or farang contractor.

I have a good lady friend who owns a construction company with more than 100 employees for most Burmese. She speaks basic English.

Prices are low, corresponding to the local market.

Similar companies run by Westerners are double the price.

PM for more information.

I highly recommend khun Piyachai as, not only is he honest, reliable and properly qualified with a degree in engineering, he is a thoroughly nice bloke.....

He can speak enough English to get by, and will make suggestions for discussion as work progresses, rather than just doing what he wants.

His nickname is Ob อบ, first name Piyachai.
He lives in San Patong

Let me know should you want references, details, etc.

I've used Top four times. For complete ground to roof construction and for a number of condominium renovations. FOUR times. For some reason my last demolition and rebuild I tried Indigo Construction.

Tomorrow Monday I'm going through an old town house for another demolition and rebuild with Top. I've learned my lesson (the hard way). When you find something great (KEEP IT)
