Lee, Is this guy still around (and have a name) before the wife starts cold calling people she don't know?

I am looking for references for building contractors who can BUILD TO PLAN as it is a little different from the grid-style plans common in Thailand (has basement, too). Builder should have a good reputation and relationship with local authorities (will be verified).

NYJ House has a nice ad on Udonmap and probably the most professional website presentation I have ever seen in Thailand. Anyone have any experience with them? Are they professional or profe$$ional?

Prefer local to Udon. Post or PM references appreciated in advance. If you are a builder, sending/posting rough quote would also give you quick response points.

Thanks! Cheers!

Any one stop shop building supplier i n UD? just wanting to know what are available to support the industry.
e.g. 6mm cement sheets, acrylic rendering, metal angles and joints, self tap galv. screws, panels etc.

In Udon itself the "big boys" are certainly Global House and Home Pro. There are other places but they tend to be a bit more of a section of the building trade with the possibility of less selection. Nearly every small town in Issan has probably a couple of 'local' equivalents - as does Udon as well - but they tend not to be heavily advertised by signs etc. All the 'locals' just know where they are.
