How much is concrete?

Ok the moistened bint is doing some hod carrying in her spare time now, and I have to ask this question ...How much is the concrete per square meter in the Udon Thani area (the house is not that small)

I assume you mean cubic metre?

1,500 - 1,700 baht per cubic meter, depends on grade. Price can change weekly, up and down. But seems the same these pass few months.

Look out for counterfeit tile and counterfeit bricks!They don't line up or match! They are sold at regular stores too!

Stan,
What do you mean by counterfeit bricks?
Do they copy bricks or what.
How can I check if it is right or not??

They are not countefeit,just different grades.The boxes of tiles are clearly marked.

Just ask for grade A or grade 1

Yes,the tiles that do not match or line up are grade C.

How many cubic meters to a truckload?

I did not know about the grades.I was at a construction site about a week ago and my friend that was doing the project showed me the different materials and their effect on the construction.He said they were counterfeit!Possibly he is mistaken,but I can not see the value of bricks that won't line up properly or tiles the curve at the ends!

A truck load ready mixed concrete is between 7 and 9 cbm, pending on truck. You can order any quantity but price for a full load is better.

but I can not see the value of bricks that won't line up properly or tiles the curve at the ends!

They are cheaper,i believe by over 30%.A farang who knows no better goes and buys tiles priced at 180 and gets delivered tiles costing 120.

If 2m3 or less will pay extra. I saw no difference above that and the delivery will depend on your workers. If getting 9 m3, workers will tell you how they want it delivered, like maybe 3, 3, 3 or 4, 3, 2. They also have different load size trucks !

if you want the number of the cheapest guy to get it and fairly dependable and in/around Udon, PM me for the number. Even some builders have ask for this.

Any Updates on the price of Ready Mix, last post on this subject was dated 2007 I think, about 10 Cube needed, any info much appreciated.

One month ago I paid ฿1790 per cube for 21 cubes delivered in five loads. This was in Amnat Charoen from the local CPAC plant, so I would imagine Udon would be about the same or maybe slightly cheaper. We had to schedule it four days in advance as there is a building boom down here.

Thanks Jimbo, Not much of an increase in 3 years.
