Thailand Construction Contractor Question Answered by Bangkok Builder: What are the key points to success when building a house or any construction project ?

Posted on by

As a construction contractor in Thailand, we often get asked questions, or advice on a particular subject.

One we often get asked is: What are the key points to success, when building a house or any construction project ?

There are many aspects to consider in construction. But the main ones:

  1. An experienced professional, licenced Thai architect.
  2. An experienced, professional construction contractor.

If you have these two main points covered, then it reduces a lot of the potential issues one can face in building a project. The 3rd, could be an experienced, professional project manager. As this too is very important and can take a lot of the issues away, that can occur. Bangkok Builder has one on all our projects and if we take on a new project, we have our construction project manager and consultant do regular inspections.

Of course there are many other points, but these above can certainly help pave the way for a successful project. If you are looking for a construction contractor in Thailand, feel free to contact us. We are happy to help.

Build a House in Thailand: Planning- The Best time to Start by Bangkok Builder

Posted on by

Bangkok builder often gets asked when the best time to start building a house in Thailand and how best to plan in regards time and seasons.

The best way to consider the planning is to consider the timing and how long each stage takes to complete.

The best time to start a construction project is when the weather is dry and there is little rain. So in Thailand from November to January is probably the best time. However you can start at other times during the year but naturally heavy rain delays works. But all of this should be considered.

The Architectural Stage

The architectural stage takes a minimum of 3-4 months for the architect to complete the detailed construction drawings, after the preliminary design stage has been confirmed by you. So you need to include this in your planning.

It is never a good idea to rush the architect or architectural stage. So with the stages involved, our advice would be to give you a minimum of 6 months for architectural stage. It can be quicker, but to be on the safe side allow a minimum of 6 months.

Application for Permissions to build

Every building project requires the permissions to build from the local government authority. The time this takes depends on the type of project and the specific area. House permission can take 2 weeks or several months. But from our experience, for a single house, it normally is quite quick, as long as everything you supply is correct – So a few weeks is normal. You must check with your local authority.

Construction Stage

The construction schedule and time it takes to complete a construction project, depends on the individual project, so it varies. For a standard size house it can take approximately 10-12 months. For larger more luxurious home it can take 12 to 18 months. If you build with Bangkok Builder we provide the time it takes in our contracts and a schedule of works. The construction contractor should provide the projected time to build and a schedule of works. So you must discuss this with the construction contractor before starting the project, as each project is different. Bangkok builder talks to you about this at the time before starting and gives you clear time frames of how long we think it will take. Weather and suppliers do affect how long it takes, but from our experience the above time frames are a good guide. Trying to rush a construction project is never a good idea, so give yourself sensible time scales.

We hope this helps give you some idea of the time scales and best times to consider starting your project. Please contact us for further information.

Luxury House Construction at Lakewood Golf Club (Design and Build) by Bangkok Builder

Posted on by

Bangkok Builder finished the construction of a luxury house, for a client at Lakewood Golf Club, Bangkok. The house was built with 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, living room/dining room, modern luxury kitchen, office/library, storage room, laundry room, maids accommodation, Thai kitchen and carport for 3 cars.  The master bedroom suite had a glass shower cubicle, with three types of showers, with a wall in a natural stone finish. There was also an external outside rain shower. Once it was all completed, as the chosen house builder, we then started the construction of the house. The home used some natural stone, sand stone and German standard wooden flooring. It had a main swimming pool and child’s pool, separated by a bridge, which went over to the Sala. There was also an individual heated Jacuzzi.  Our smart home systems expert installed automated lighting systems, automatic remote control gates and various smart home systems for the client.

Another main feature in the master bedroom, was a custom made, in ground heated spa bath, with exact temperature control and automated refill. It was in fact the first time a spa bath of this size, which filled in an incredibly fast amount of time, had ever been done in Thailand.  It was custom made for the client and the actual system too was specially created for the project. Special thanks to Pooltech who assisted with all technical details. Over head fans and air conditioning was used to keep the home cool, with plenty of good insulation in the roof.

The construction of this house in Bangkok, is an example of what we can do at Bangkok Builders, as a professional construction contractor.
