ArickChaiyaphum 34 #16 Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) There is a good builder here they just finished a doctors building that you can come and look at. I would recommend because the standard was high. We are just between Ban Thaen and Kaeng Khro in a Village Ban Nong Khu. I also had other people build my house which is 100 square meters from our own design and we added extras like marble flooring and order doors from Chiang Mai also had the pool built. Around the price you are looking for. Land is very reasonable to cheap. We know a woman that has lots of land for sale in the province. Private message me.we are just 50 mins from Chiayaphum Arick Edited October 24, 2018 by ArickChaiyaphum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creasy 198 #17 Posted October 24, 2018 You can put me on the list looking for a builder too. We're in Nong Bua Rawe , about 40 minutes from Chaiyaphum. Not necessarily looking for a budget builder, but a quality one. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To find a builder today and start tomorrow is dodgy . Always ask to see previous work and if possible speak to the customer . Also you really need to be on the site daily to oversee/ supervise the work and to make sure that it is being constructed to your plan / instructions . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not want to be a competeter with others because I know the problem to find a good builder. Can you send me the contact phone number? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DepDavid 154 #20 Posted November 17, 2018 Are you looking for a Thai house to be built or do you want the builder to be Thai? Beware of Farang builders just as you would do at home. Get a contract and build spec sheet with your plans. Beware of getting billed for more than you agreed on and having the crew leave before the job is done. Nano blocks are a good solid option!Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
