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.

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.

Bangkok Construction Contractor: Bangkok Builder Can Help
Building a house in Thailand can be an enjoyable proposition and you can result in you having a wonderful home. But careful consideration must be given to how long it takes, the correct steps and working with a professional construction contractor.

The two main parts are the architectural design stage and then the construction stage. Bangkok builders can provide both or part of this. If you have architectural drawings completed by a licenced Thai architect and Thai engineer, we can provide you a quotation to build your house. If you do not have architectural drawings, we can also offer this service too. We have our own English speaking Thai architects who have assisted many people like you, design their home.
To design and build a house in Thailand, you are looking realistically at a minimum of 12-18 months, maybe more. This is determined by various factors, including the size and complexity of the house and how quickly the design comes together. An average size house in Thailand will take up to 12 months to build. Smaller houses maybe are able to be constructed in 10 months. All of this can be discussed and confirmed when you contact us at www.bangkokbuilder.com
