Why do we mention costs a lot ?
We mention costs and our concerns on costs a lot. Why do we do this ? Because it is important. It can be one of the main root causes of problems in construction in Thailand and in any country. Low quoting in construction can be seen throughout the world and used to get jobs and it is very seductive to the ill informed or inexperienced person. Over pricing can also be seen of course. Price is important to you, so should be given the correct amount of attention. Calculating construction costs takes time and should be done by an experienced person. If a construction contractor misses something in the cost calculations due to inexperience, they may not be able to finish the project. Or if they are desperate for a job, giving a low quote can be just a way to keep them in business. It may not be the case of course and we are not in any way saying lower pricing is wrong, or the lower price is not the one to agree to. All we are saying is be careful, take the time necessary to understand what contractors include in their price and what they do not. Construction is complex and care needs to be taken by the construction contractor. If a construction contractor in Thailand does not have an experienced project manager on site, then who is going to supervise and run the project ? Who will check works ? Is your project insured ? These are all part of the costs and part of a construction project. It can affect the success of the project. So cost is very important.
We hope you find the site useful. Read on and Enjoy.
