20sq meter house for 300000thb

@johan456

That is tiny, what could you put inside??

I have heard about knockdown houses, have a look into them before you commit to building something so small.

@Simonbolton.    That is to small.

Johan, it seems ridiculously cheap! I own and run a housebuilding company in the UK and have been running it for 30 years, so I believe I can be called a professional builder with experience, and I am having a fully finished 3 bedroom house at 130 sq mtrs (1400 sq ft) being built near Surin, in the middle east of Thailand for 3,000,000 baht. I have fully looked into the building prices in the region, and also compared it to the Bangkok area and I am not paying too much for a top quality finished new build. It depends on what size house he has quoted for you, however when you consider I am paying 10 times what you are paying and so I would say you are not paying over the top for it, the opposite in fact, I would be slightly wary of this cheap price.

It sounds a little high to me but maybe it's ok for the area. I would

get a 2nd or 3rd contractor quote if you are spending that

amount. Are you sure you want something so small?

@johan456

Johan,

I just want to confirm things with you, you are paying 300000 baht, the equivalent of approximately £7,000 to build this house? What is the size of the house.

@Simonbolton

My parents in law will fit in it:) Right now they live in a tent, so it will be an upgrade for them. Also thank you for mentioning those knockdown houses. I looked into them and it seems they all range in the same price category.

After doing some research and asking around with other contractors, the price of 300000 thb for the 20square meter house seems okay. It could be a bit cheap or expensive based on how well it is made. I guess i will go for this price and I might have to expect to pay a bit more later.
