Building a car port, cost estimation

Post by buksida »

Need a very basic car port with a small adjacent room to store the motorbikes, just a concrete slab with a steel roof and basic roof tiles will suffice, size approx 8x4 meters. Any idea on an approx cost of materials and labour? (Then I'll know if the quote I've had is taking the slash).

I had one made to match the house (roof tiles and all plastered in with lights) 2 years ago that was a bit smaller though and cost around 80,000 baht. I would think you could get the cover and storage room for under 100,000 baht. Will probably have to search to get a good Thai builder to get that price though.

Buks..I was in a similar situation when I needed a basic steel-framed roof over my balcony.
I got a couple builder-men in for quotes..30-40 grand they wanted..mmm??
Later went to the large builders-yard on ya right as ya go up the Pala-U Rd (just b4 the hardware shop wiv wheelbarrows outside)..with me I had a good drawing I'd done, plus all dimensions for the steel+roof-sheets.
The lady behind the counter quoted me 10K for the materials,plus 10K to have a team come do the work.
2 days later & they came, did good job & I got my 25 sq M balcony in the shade.

80k max in my experience including adjacent room. This is for rendered columns conwood ceiling and concrete tiles. Labour only 22k for carport I am presently building 3 x 4.5m.
Steel roof and no foundations will be considerably cheaper.

Cheers for the comments, the quote was around 70k so not too far off - I will look into sourcing the material myself though, they want 25k for labour.
