Carport

I am thinking of having a carport built. 8 by 5 metres,with the back 2 metres enclosed and divided in 2 to form a laundry and garden shed,iron roofing,power and water.
Could anyone give me an idea of cost for this type of thing.
Any help would be appreciated

About 100,000 baht.

Agree with Prenders.

I had an 8m x 5m carport done about 3 years ago - cost was 30,000. With inflation, plus enclosures, power and water, you may get 20k change out of 100k.

Jackspatt and prendess88 , are we talking about the same. concrete pillars,pitched roof,2 seperate enclosures.
I hope you're right, I wasn't expecting any change from about 250,000 baht

80 - 100k depending on your choice of roof/tiles.

For mine - 6 concrete posts, timber roofing frame, light corrugated metal roof and gutters, and 6 inch concrete floor with steel mesh reinforcement.

฿30,000, without enclosed rooms, power or water. But I did have family help to do the concreting (delivered via a truck).

Youv'e all just made my day, I'm hoping you're right,if so,I'm 150,000 baht better off.
While on the costing subject, I'm also going to have the property enclosed,its a triangle block,about 50 metres each side,I want 2 sides with solid fence,6' high,and the front with pillars,a 4 metre driveway sliding gate,and a swinging entrance gate. What would you guys think that would cost,I was figuring about 250,000

Now you've mentioned the gate, and a gate that swings, 2 metre high wall, driveway with non slip tiles, it's now climbing to 200,000 plus. Might be all of the figure you had in mind.

Prenders,I think you've miss understood me,I was thinking 250,000 for just the carport,and another 250,000 for the fencing and gates

what crazy prices all, 250.000 for a carport?????, many ignorant farang in udon,even 100.000 is crazy, if you have some good local workers to build this one for you,i would say surely not more than 20.000to maybe 30.000 like jackspratt say's, even present day,and even including the small costs of some water pipes and electrics,all building material still cheap,
to compare , we build home for our daughter here 11.5m x 6m , rooftiles, not metal.., tiles everywhere , allu windows etc very nice home , including painting, all finished , including work not yet have 250.000 bath, ??????? so the same lesson is , do not compare prices with prices from your home country butt compare them within thailand....

A car port 8x5, last 2m enclosed?
I would budget 50K.
How you guys budget 250K?
It ain't Kansas here

No doubt Kopkei will build you one for 200K, 55555

My fence:
2x40m wall 2m high
2x40m 2m high wired fence
40m wall+ metal fence front + metal gate.
Cost less than 200K but 190+K

I agree.......i built one last year for 40 K

A quick note: The cost can vary by more than 2:1 as a function of the type and quality of the materials and the workmanship.

" The cost can vary by more than 2:1 as a function of the type and quality of the materials and the workmanship"

I always cringe when I read about someone building a wall/house that should cost xxx, but instead cost xx or even x. A neighbor of a friend of ours in Sribunreuang had a wraparound wall built last year.......today it's a pile of rubble because of shoddy workmanship/materials. Second example, someone in the village is putting up a house......full foundation, tile roof, but for some reason they're using the cheap version of cement block for the walls. Once it's all covered up with cement, no one will be the wiser, but I'd guess there'll be more likelihood of problems with walls cracking in the future.
