Very nice alan, how long did that take to build and what was the damage if you don't mind me asking?

[J-Rider]

WOW what a nine pad. That hear in London would be worth milions sort of place you would find in Hamstead, whgich is one of the most up market areas in London.

 

Could you hold off the house waming party July/August

[caltexman]

Looks nice...when does the pool and landscaping get finished? I'll bring the ribs n beer!

 

Id love to build in Thailand someday, but Im not willing to risk the title being in a girls name, even if she was my wife (no f-in way)...id have to find a way to have it in an offshore corporation or something...if not, guess Ill always be a renter there.

 

Cheers, Alex

Hello there Guys.

 

I’ve Enclosed a few pages from the plan. The plan has the steel sizes used in the roof, footings and structure.

 

If you look carefully it is all numbered and letter coded. The client did however modify windows and door sizes.

 

Windows = White Grade ‘A’ Aluminum.

 

Glass = 5mm Green Tint.

 

Downstairs floor = 60cm by 60cm Granite Composite Tiles.

 

Upstairs floor = Mai Padoo.

 

Walls = 10cm thick (red brick)

 

Roof tile = C-Pac Monier prestige

 

Water Tank = Standard (7000baht)

 

Paint = TOA 4 coats in all

 

This house took 4 and a ½ months to build with a 9 man team, and contractors coming in to do electrics, windows, exterior non-slip floor, Wooden flooring, gypsum board and painting. All our contractors have been with us for 8 years now.

 

The house cost 4.7mil plus a few extras. the client who is a former property developer from the UK is very pleased with his new home and we are looking forward to our next project with him in the near future.

 

Thank you for all your interest, be it positive or negative, I always take it all in.

 

Alan

I especially like the dark wood flooring on the upstairs gives it a nice touch.

[Loso4ever]

A wonderful job you've done there mate. Thumbs up, it has become a Palace.

[AlantheBuilder]

[anaconda19]

[caltexman]

I want the money so i could afford that place...........................lol.

 

Great looking place though mate...........................congrats!!

[kaka]

Fantastic place buddy

[rabbit]

the house is great, but it ant his it's only on loan, we have all heard the cry of some one whos house has gone. the goverment say you cant own the law say the same, if your lady has it in her name and she cant prove where the money came from it could be lost to all. We still seam to leave our brains on the plane and think were at home.

[RobJ]

I'm a builder myself (in South Africa) and that house is a pleasure to behold. Nice straight lines and beautifully finished. Excellent job..KUDOS to Alan!!

[arbiez]

Very nice indeed Alan. Being somewhat novice at understanding the details of Thai construction, can you answer a couple of questions?

 

1) In the 1st picture, is that the water tank collecting rain water or a water purification system or a septic system? (I don't think they have true sewer systems right???)

2) I didn't see the small individual a/c units and I don't see central air ducts. Is the a/c already installed or is that done later?

3) It seems to me with the amount of sun/heat and the cost of electricity, that solar panels might be considered in construction. Is that still cost prohibitive?
