Building a House in Thailand (guest house construction from start to finish)

[@paulglorie9240]

So it’s I great and interesting video from the beginning to end to build this 🏡

[@thetravellingsocialworker]

Interesting seeing it all put together. Good luck in the future with it.

[@garyprice6504]

Interesting to see how they cast the floors. We have a massive house built but I wasn’t there for the floors being done. In UK.

[@kieransutton1706]

@Maximo David I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@kieransutton1706]

@Maximo David It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

The gas stove in the kitchen; is the bottle outside or under the cabinet?

[@omnigains9925]

Hidden in the corner underneath.

[@daveduffy2292]

Looks amazing. Great job

[@chrishoss3757]

great stuff,really enjoyed this video thanks for posting Cheers Chris

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

Very happy to hear that 😀 I put this up to show some friends and had no clue it would get so much views

[@hh8120]

Amazing house!!!!

[@BLNBorey]

Great job and amazing Video

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

Thank you. Happy to hear that 😃

[@allencushmen8352]

What a great job 👍

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

Thank you. It has been absolutely trouble free during the 2 years that passed since completed.

[@davegadge1]

Amazing video thanks, would you suggest taking such a project with no experience at all?

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

Absolutely, but it comes down to your personality, ability to plan and select an ok building team. To ha die and do all material purchase it does take some time but can be well worth it both in saving and the joy, and probably need the ability to let some frustration at times slip by 😃

[@Iloveamerica77]

Would you mind sharing how much everything cost? We are looking to build as well. Thanks for the great video

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

I don’t remember since it’s been a few years. Also it varies very much depending on where you are. Biggest cost variable is labor. If you buy things yourself and find a good team you can save a lot. But then it’s a bigger job for you too. Good luck. I might upload another video next year 😅 Then I can have more updates prices.

[@AmericanInThailand]

Impressive! Thanks!

[@Davidnumber23]

nice, good work!

[@jimmybdeluxe]

Like how they concreted around the tree, it will be dead soon!

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

The tree didn’t die, and we actually cut it down yesterday. Just left a bit as a round little natural table and cut some pieces for simple chairs.

[@abrahamlidholm9007]

Wonderful.... this is soo inspiring

[@Dutch-Buddha]

nice video may i ask how many dollars or how much bat costs this house

[@Dutch-Buddha]

and how long it took to build

[@Dutch-Buddha]

what's the name of the music that starts at 20:30

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

A bit over a million baht. Buying all material myself and having labor paid by side. Now I know many builders who would charge a lot more so this came down to arranging all material and having a good team.

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

It took about 3 months.

Something similar I would like to have. Is for City Buriram your company too?

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

No I think it’s too far away 😅

[@garygibbs1]

GREAT JOB... I AM GOING TO DO THE SAME EITHER IN MAHA SARAKHAM OF KHON KAEN...

Good luck and have fun creating 😁

[@garygibbs9095]

@@markshaw1966 yes, my brother

[@christiangoelz2873]

great video .. How much for the small house?

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

I think I answered people here many times already 😄 Construction cost was a bit over a million. Prices can vary a lot depend on company. I buy all materials myself and pay labor. Other quotes I got for this house (the construction is 4 floors because it’s built in a slope) has been over 2 million.

[@tip.d]

if you dont mind me asking how much was the cost of this build?

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

This was a bit over a million. However have in mind we handled all purchases ourself and had great deal with workers. I had been offered the double.

[@garageartguy]

@@ThailandResororg-li4uw Is that including the dirt work, perimeter wall, driveway, etc. or just the house itself? TIA

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

@@garageartguy all dirt work, it’s just 1200 baht per hour and had about 2 days because we dug out quite a bit so used macro as well as JCB. The concrete parking and walkway about 25k or so. 1 cubic concrete works for about 8 square meter and is about 2200 baht. Steel underneath and work is not much.

[@AngelCruz-zu6ob]

Beautiful house and design. But those wall going to fall down with a kick really bad construction walls

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

These walls are standard and are obviously stronger than you can look. It’s regular 7cm blocks combined with a concrete rebar “slab” put on every meter. Regularly used in houses, resorts, condos and so on.

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

Should have been *stronger than they can look 🙂

[@lulububu5976]

Hi. Could you give a price breakdown for the cost of labour only? I am planning to built a 130 sqm single story house and the builder quotet me 360k TBH only for work. He wants to be paid I 4 stages whereas I prefer to pay weekly for work. Building time would he 3,5 months and 8 people working on site. Do I get overcharged faring price?

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

I really wouldn’t say it’s overpriced and if they seem good paying a tiny bit extra is well worth it. In this case it’s about 2200 baht per m2 and for 8 pax working 3 months it’s 15k per month. Now it would take a bit longer and the owners cut isn’t calculated. According to me this seem totally ok. About payment, paying 4 times is also normal. Make a good contract stating what’s included and all. Usually electric work is not included and sometimes installation of doors and windows isn’t too, depending on the type used.

[@hanscarlsson7276]

As thailandresor says, it's a fair price. I recently built a 155 sqm meter house. The labor cost was 380 KTHB, 4 payments, electricity and windows separate. You may have to calculate for a concrete wall and/or fence and gateways too, this is not cheap. You may also want a separate carport and storage space.

[@ShaiLysk]

Didn’t show the kitchen when it was complete though. But good progress

[@365thai5]

Where is this pls? Looking for workers to build our small house in pranburi

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

This is in Phuket.

[@hangemhigh7069]

You must have thick armering(iron) in the cement outside!

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

You mean on the parking area? For that we use a regular small “street ready” iron mesh, don’t remember the dimensions. With 15cm concrete it holds for concrete trucks driving with no problem. But that area is just small parking so that’s well above whats needed.

[@s1981Seiuli_Luafalealo_Kalolo.]

Can you share your GC information. Looking to built a house in kalasin

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

Can you send direct message? This is not a big company, just a good team I know.

[@johntheaccountant5594]

How much was this build?

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

Please scroll through the comments, I think I mentioned some figures some where 😃

[@paulmurray8734]

Do they not have concrete pumps over there great video otherwise

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

Yes they do have pumps for taller constructions but here they just did it by hand in a blink.

[@ExtraordinaryTK]

In between processes did they cure your concrete?

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

I don’t know what that means, but according to google it seem to be a process when you water it frequently? If so, no that I have never seen here.

[@ExtraordinaryTK]

@@ThailandResororg-li4uw In that case you probably want to treat this as an uncured concrete house and just do a post-maintenance. I know the weather in Thailand and the thing about concrete is they all crack but with good know-how from the Architect, they crack less, and little gaps mostly unnoticeable when you're not looking.

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

@@ExtraordinaryTK I know concrete that some blend themself can get at least surface cracks. However I haven’t seen that in the better grades from companies like CPAC. Thanks

[@s1981Seiuli_Luafalealo_Kalolo.]

Is that you company or GC you hired, can you give out their contract information. Thank you and great house

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

@@s1981Seiuli_Luafalealo_Kalolo. this is a team of builders I found after a lot of searching. It’s not a company, it’s rather a great Burmese guy with his workers. I dont think they can travel outside Phuket for work, but I’m not sure.

[@cooldeesir]

How many square feet is this house?

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

It should be equal to 540 sq feet for each of the 2 floors done in the video. Then the floor below that’s not done in the video is about 430 sq feet but will have an extra part build out so in the end all 3 floors will be about 540 sq feet.

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

The construction is 10x5.2 meter.

[@waynelast1685]

How much money?

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

Please check the previous comments 🙂 I think I tried answer before. Because I handle all purchases and staff price was lower than normal.

[@geezer4444]

is this about building a home or watching cars & trucks coming and going

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

It’s a build from start to finish and any normal construction now days starts with trucks coming. Kids these days have no patience I see. You can skip first 3,5 minutes if you don’t like the preparation work. But that’s still part of a house construction process.

[@awestaetezad9793]

I don’t like Phuket, you see so many tourists from europ and China, I like chambury, it is little tourist from China , just Thai poepel, Thay are very lovely and calm

[@tommypaget2294]

Can you build on a slope? I think that it’s illegal to own o buy land in “hills”, in Thailand. Hill are land sloping more than 35% gradient.

[@ThailandResororg-li4uw]

It’s much less than 35 degree. Except a small part where it’s flattened out in front and cut out in back.
