Dear readers,

My wife and I live in Ubon Ratchathani she works in the hospital I am retired. We recently bought a piece of land (720 m2) and the next step is to build a house. An architect is needed for this to make a good construction drawing. Does anyone know an architect who charges Thai prices?

I won't let anyone see my face for the time being, my wife will have to arrange it in the first instance.

Regards,

RK

    Hello

    Through the grapevine I am talking to a contractor who builds houses in your area. So far I have a good relationship with him and the prices he quotes seem reasonable to me. Perhaps you could contact him?
    I email him in English:

    His name is Hywell
    William Property Thailand

    We had our house built by:

    He has an office in Ubon, makes/has many example drawings of houses he has built.
    We are very satisfied with him.

    Regards and success,

        At the top right is a button, you can convert to Thai
        Then it will open.

        But yes, like me, many will not be able to read Thai

    My girlfriend occasionally builds a house in Thailand for sale. What she always does is go to the relevant town hall and ask if someone can make a construction drawing. The municipality always has an engineer or something who has to approve the construction drawings. They always make her drawing, then approve it for the building permit and arrange the house number. Everything ready with 1 person and they don't charge too much.

      I completely agree, Nico, just go to the town hall.
      Information construction drawing she even comes to your home.
      Just find out what you like.
      Price is very low.
      Self designed first self with the help of architect cost 20 bat.
      However, as desired plus floor.
      2nd was free, but hand in a copy of the first.
      You look your eyes out of so much choice.

    You can buy complete building plans in various booklets at a bookstore.
    You can immediately see the end result. It also includes construction costs.
    Just look at that first.
    We also had our house built from such a book.
    Of course you can have the executor adjust things.
    regards richard

    You want to build a house and an architect is needed?
    This is Thailand so don't think like a Dutchman. On a 3 million baht house you can save about 1 million if you take everything into your own hands, so no contractor either, just local construction workers. You are retired so a nice challenge.
    Ps first rent for a year if you definitely want to live in Thailand and to gain experience and knowledge. Could save a lot of trouble.

      Well, cheap is usually expensive. The savings of 1 million result in many costs in the years after construction due to defects, not to mention the often incompetence of the construction teams (no standards and certainly no Western standards, for example with regard to water and electricity) and the lack of good and strict quality management during construction.
      My wife's construction company gets as much discount when purchasing material as a private person of his long life will not get. So the bsap ring is actually very good or bad. Besides all the mental misery.
