Carport

I'm also considering building a car port. Six concrete posts, steel roof structure and roofing tiles. Also Sherra facsia board. I've had two quotes so far, one from a big building company (THB300k) and another from a builder guy in the village (THB250k).

I didn't tell either what the other one quoted. It seems VERY expensive to me, hence I haven't gone ahead with either.

I'll be getting some more quotes, but so far I'm not getting anythng near THB100k.

well wynnsiensheng, as you can read my previous answer on this matter..., only advice i can give you, if you are smart enough and you can count a little bit, make a small plan of the carport , and go check prices of the materials you need,
6 concrete posts..., iron for the roof , tiles , how much concrete for the foundation...etc.....,( go check in global..)
this is my system of handling this..., if i must pay 300k, 250k or even 100k for a carport , i must have completely lost my mind.., but still as you also can read on previous posts, some people pay this crazy price and they think it is normal ,
as long as they are happy , never mind... (money down the drain .........)

Tomorrow i put in a picture of a carport which coast me 37 K including all!

I think it is time to share some info whit people on the forum about coasts fore biuld things in Thailand. It looks like many people pay extremely much for there projects and they have no better quality then others whos pay less. I can also informed about my house in bungalowstyle whit pool, two bedrooms, and two toilets and one whit bathtub, coasts totaly just under 1,3 milj bath. I have also builded out the house whit 2 more guestrooms and toilets and an extra entresdoor, that coast me 120 000 bath more fore 40 m2. The coasts included 3 airconds, one prjectorcinema and two LCDs....all under 1, 4 milj bath. I could have build the house even cheaper but......i was scammed accely and the firsth projektmanager run away whit more than 280 000 bath but.....i am happy anyway.




Here are some fresch newly builded exampels of small house and....what we can called carpark....ore what ever people like to use them for. The firsth one is accely used as a small shop and it is new. The house is 7x6 meter and is builded whit 8 collums as we dont pot one in the middle. The total coasts for this projekt was just under 120000 bath and that includes everything:



The other roof ore can we say....a simpel modell of a carpark is 8x4 meter and is also removeabel. This one i orderd from a steelcompany in Udon last year. They delivere and maket finish in one day. I use this as a move able roof outside my poolarea. The total coast for this big and very strong roof is 37000 bath including all!

well , the 2nd home seems ok for his price ( including the concrete foundation) , as it is a metal roof i think, so what are the costs of building , most expensive concrete( foundation) , and metal structure for the roof , all the rest is relatively cheap..., when you put metal roof ,you do not need heavy metal construction as for other roofs, nice small swim, but the carport, this metal shed 37.000bath only roof no concrete, small metal poles, for me to expensive , but i know this product is overrated and overpriced, i do not like it , when heavy rain you are not able to make a descent conversation, to much noise, ( in your case ,as you are sitting there.., for carport boppenyang dog...) i was thinking more carport with concrete piles, roof tiles etc...., but as always ,as long as you are happy...

this is not about what i like .......the metalroof is what i use to protect my self from the sun and when it is raining i hang my laundry there...he he. By the way this metalroof is more expensive than other ones wich get rosty after 2 months and the konstruktion is very very strong and needs only 4 light ironcollums to hold it up. As it has weel i have fix the roof to the wall so the wind not force it in to my pool..........the idea is to present coasts of different kind of buildings......cause it looks like many people on this forum being scammed about the buildingprices they been offerd...

I meen......you can built a cod 8 collum house for 120 K and somebody been offerd to built a 6 collum carpark for 250 up 300 K.........so the idea is to show the real world her!

even as they compare prices always with prices in their home country, they still think they have made a good deal...
it was nice to post pictures of your carport .....
what i would like to see is a picture of a so called 250k (cheap) car port , any one?thanks in advance.....

come on guys, isn't there anybody out there who can post a picture of his 250-300k carport , so everybody will maybe understand where the difference is ? ( 37k---300k) and we all know what we talk about, thanks in advance again.....
( when no picture posted please close this topic as it will be the never ending story without proof..)

recently had an outdoor area built, not sure of the area but if changed into a carport like shape it would easily fit 2 cars, cement floor tiled (with the most expensive tiles the wife could find in Udon), section of house roughly 8x6m tiled for thai kitchen with a tiled cement bench with 4 cupboards installed (once again not cheapo tiles), also a tiled roof with a steel frame and 4 cement rendered posts about 4 1/2 metres high ( the other side is bolted to the house) plasterboard ceiling with lighting installed also three power sockets installed and everything painted of course. Not bad standard of workmanship and all up 150000baht which i thought having looked at the cost of the materials was not a bad price Kopkei have to agree with you i wouldnt pay 37000baht for Kjellsnells project.

Kopkei,
I was the one who started this post,the question was,how much to build a carport to my specifications.
After receiving replies,all I said was I was expecting to pay about 250,000,glad to hear what I should be looking at. The other guy that mentioned 250,000 to 300,000 was only passing on quotes he had received.
I don't think you'll end up getting a pic of a 300,000 baht carport,as now we have had replies to tell us both that is way over the top, we'll be looking to have them built for a reasonable price

Yea... thats wy i give some exampels of biuldingcoast....by the way...i give wrong price at the roofexampel, it was 27 000 and 37 000.....this roof i by as a smart and fast solution of sunprotektion at poolside at sunkraan last year. Now i am going to move this roof and use it....as a carport for my Toyota Commuter instead. And at the poolside i will biult a more like openroom for barberque and relaxing, whit roof and 3 colloms. I will use my ordinary wall as the backside collums as the wall is very strongly builted and then put 3 collums in front. I hope that this projekt will stay just around 50 000 bath depending on what roof i will use...maybe pot slidingdoors in front to.
