Title: prefab wood house constructors
Post by: notrub on April 14, 2018, 06:31:23 PM
We have some land in Ban Mai Chaiyphot, Isaan and I would like to buy a 50 to 100 m2 wood prefabricated Thai style house to put on it.  Either just delivered as a kit or built on site by the suppliers.  Can you point me in the direction where I could find a company such as this?  Either an actual company or web site suggestions or even just the Thai name for this kind of work.  I see these houses being built by the road and offered for sale to take away but do not remember where they are.  If there is an area of Thailand where lots of this sort of activity takes place I could just go and look around.  We have a house already and this pre fab would be a guest house in the garden.  Grateful for any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi,

I don?t if it?s the same, but We where looking for one of those houses to put on our land when building our current house, but at a price of well over a million THB for a smallish house consisting of 1 bedroom, 1 living room, And of course NO toilet and NO kitchen and NO electric cabling installed we decided no thanks and we rented a hotel room

The one we looked at was at the intersection in Surin going to Prasat.

If you look online at the architect expo 2016 list of presenters there was a company that was doing exactly what you are looking for. I will look through my photos and see if I can find the contact info.

Checked photos unfortunately none had the company name. I didn?t keep the contact info because the price was a bit high for what you get.

Deputy David is 100% correct regarding Prefab wood houses being on display at the Architect Expo and available to be assembled on site in Buriram Province. He is also spot on regarding the selling price of professional wood houses for Thailand. The wood houses on display in Bangkok are not to be confused with side of the road houses in Buriram or Surin Province.  At the Architect Expo you can see some of the same exact tools sold by Ruangsangthai including Milwaukee and Big Wood Tools.  It is well worth the trip to Bangkok for any expat considering to build a home in Isaan to spend two days on the floor of the free Architect Expo. Easy to register on line and free transportation is available from a BTS station to and from the Expo in may 2018. If a temporary home is a need in Buriram you might price and examine in person the container homes fabricated in Buriram by Container Kings. They will quote a price   http://www.containerkingsthailand.com/ (http://www.containerkingsthailand.com/)

These traditional Thai style homes are well worth a look - But the prices !
I'd love one, but the cost of the home is way more than I could afford and then to convert within to western conveniences.......

@DeputyDavid

Any recollection of the prices approx?

@Pichai

Is USA Bob going to that Arch Expo next month ? Maybe he could get some more info ? A container house is not what we are looking for when we are starting to build our new house somewhere next year.

@Wayne

That are the ones we were looking at.
