Udon Thani Thailand Forum - Udon Thani, Thailand

Just wondering if a thread can be started listing building contractors contact information and specialty/skill. Sort of a directory, allowing members to post referrals or look-up information. Additionally, the post can be marked as a sticky making it easier to find the information without having to search through a bunch of threads.

I second that that is a great idea and will be a helpful service feature that no one else has the forum database by know would have alot of useful marketable information if repackaged send those data bots in.

Mr. Somchai Inteedt HandPhone 089-575-2586 who lives in Udon. he speaks NO English..
Reasonable rates, has a complete set of tools to include router, table saw, electric hand tools and has his own truck to move built pieces to your home.

For my house, Mr. Somchai did the kitchen cabinetry, bathroom cabinets and mirror frames, a full wall width clothing cabinet with drawers, custom recess 2 meter tall cabinets in the bedrooms, custom 2 meter tall display cabinets with glass doors and shelves...

I third that, I would like to find builders who can build from start to finish and organise plumbing, electrical etc.
BB

I forth that, the list would be very useful if it is contained with standard price as well.

Im on the fifth ticket here, possibly with architects and land fillers/clearers listed too, again with prices so we have some idea without getting ripped off.....

Great Idea =D>

I've known this man for two years now. He is a well respected member of Udon's business community. Khun Thiti Sangsananan, Managing Director,
Udon Wannawit Co., LTD. 081-708-3200, (042) 205062-4, [email protected]
He speaks perfect English, he may run you a few baht more. However, IMO, it will be well worth it, as there will be no mis-communications.

Good to go, what's he do?

Khun Thiti is a general building contractor. He also owns one of the Jotun Home Improvement Stores, the one he owns is on the Nong Khai Rd., about six kilometers north of the Ring Rd. He is well traveled, and "understands" us farangs and what we expect. He has a architect/designer that works for him.
As I said before he would be a good English speaking/understanding buffer between you the farang, and the Thai workman. IMO
I suggest telephone him, set up a meeting with him, and make your own decision.
I'm not building a house, but if I was, after my conversations with Thiti, he'd be my man.

Outstanding, some good information JingJai. Now if the mods or admin can get their act together and make this post into a STICKY

I'm looking for an experienced plumber in Udon Muang area. I want a bath tub fitting a water pump and some waste diversions and heating units checked. Any recommendations gratefully received?

I'm looking for a general building contractor that can lay tiles, paint, install electrical wires and appliances, and put together a simple kitchen. Any numbers or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Windows and doors contractor Tel. 042-242480 or 081-0584400 (highly recommended, good quality work and realistic price). Address 30/6 Wattana Nuwong Road, Udon Thani

If anyone has the number of an electrician please post it here, thanks.

I found an electrician in the end, fair price and good work. Tel. 042-325460 or 089-276-2503 He installs air-con's too!

We have a small triangular block near Nong Bua market on which we would like to build student accommodation.

Would a recommended builder such as Khun Thiti be likely to survey the block and propose plans of maximising the available space on the block for a fee? Is this the best way to get started?

I would appreciate any advice.

ps: Thai language is no problem.

Hi All
I was hoping some more people would post some recommended builders here, with all the houses in Udon there must be a lot, and a lot that people here know about.
I want to get a list so I can do a bit of a shop when I return as we want to build two houses on a large block, but I would prefer a builder who can do the lot, eg. building, carpentry, tiling, glazing, plumbing & electrical so I don't have to chase around, a turnkey house.
thanks Barry
