Labour costs for house build?

[waynesurin]

Hi all.  In the process of looking into costs to build a 3 bedroom, two bathroom home with standard finishings near Satuek.  I am wondering if anyone could give me an idea or approximation of the cost of labour per sq. meter as we will be supplying materials   Thanks

Gday Waynesurin, Not sure of price per square meter for work but I recently finished a 3 bedroom with large balcony and concrete verandah all the way around. I was paying the builders 400bht per day. They would start at 8am and finish 5pm with an hour for lunch. I used to also buy a bottle of Low Kow whisky 100bht which kept the moral high. The builders are on the job 7 days a week unless its a National Holiday. I have a post  New Bahn Non Suwan with photo's. Sorry don't know how to provide a direct link to the site but if you do a search it should come up!

I had a labor quote about the first of October for a similar sized build; it was quoted at just over 920,000.

Edit: But it seems that most of the pictures in that Thread are gone because of a Malfunction with the BE servers a couple of weeks ago.

Am I correct that you started in November 2015 with the build and finished around May 2016 ? So around 5-6 months ?

I look at the filenames you named your Pictures

Thx

Great pics   Thanks.  How much was the cost for the electric meter and do you know what capacity it is? 15/45?

We got 30/100 (single phase) and we paid 13000 THB deposit at the local PEA.

Thanks Mike, would you suggest that 15/45 is sufficient?  My wife's father thinks the 5/15 is the way to do, but I am not so sure.
