[artinamerica]

I am curious about these 2 costs, too, since it is possible I might retire there, and might want to build new, as opposed to getting an existing place.

Bloody hell the size of the house (640 sq meters) I would say you are looking at about 9 million baht to build based on about 14,000 baht a sq meter building cost and that does not include the land which most likely is over 1 mil, you could build a village in Issan for that

 

Some crazy farangs have to much money to waste

Thanks and Congratulations. Wish you would have started this a little earlier so we could have seen the walls going up and the trusses going on. Great looking place, but be careful, or you will end up with allot of us wanting to sleep on your front porch. Loved the first pic, the guy on the peak of the roof really gives scale to the whole project. Please let us follow it through completion. Thanks mate, Thumper63

[Bravo]

WOW! Thas fucking cool man! Wish it was mine :(

Alan whats the price per sq meter now, when I built my house 2 years back I was quoted at 5000/6000 baht for Thai style (tin roof) and about 12000 baht for farang style, I ended up doing 50/50 style (no tin roof LOL) and paid just under 9000 baht a sq meter

[AlantheBuilder]

It varies so much Jason.

Everybody has different speck ,bit like asking how much is a meal in a restaurant in Pattaya !

But I don’t think the prices have changed much in the last 2 years mate !

Thanks Alan.

[vinie]

nice, very nice

Some of the latest Pictures.... and a copy of the plans for anyone interested =)

 

[BSJ]

A steel roof structure is the best way to go. Down here in Oz it would get a high energy rating....which is a good thing. The only thing letting it down is 6mm single pane windows. Double glazing and low E glass are the way to go!

This is a great post. Yes the place is outrageously big, but love to see it as it unfolds. I'm sure you have some great contractor stories to tell as well, would luv to hear them.

Know the process can be a real passion and sometimes a nightmare. Please keep sharing pics (can't wait to see those bathrooms) and stories.

Maybe one for Kevin McCloud's 'Grand Designs' TV series - Thai edition

[themosch]

What a huge house! Think they are planning to have a lot of children or moving the family in.

Nice to see what is possible in housing overthere!

[Edge]

Wow 640 sq m is a monster - awful lot of air space to cool down too. Good spec'. I guess your client isn't short of a few baht.

 

I think you could fit about 4 of my little folly in there. tho' that's not counting the areas outside or underneath. It's only 2 bedrooms, which I thought would limit the visiting "relatives" but the buggers will sleep anywhere.

Mine cost about 3m plus 2.5m for 1.5 rai of land, but I haven't built the wall yet. About 6m when it's done.

 

Not at all in this league, but quite enough headaches along the way.
