Here's a new house we started last month, actually it started just before that but we were delayed with the kick off due to the weather. There are a couple of changes to the final floorplan but its basically the same.
Split. What about that 'new build'...Is it an 'old build' now?
And a couple of renders of how the final house should look like.
it was based on the design of this build.
keeping the same colour scheme and idea of privacy, but on a larger plot of 900sqm.
heres the plot.the profiles are up. the land ends where the profiles are.
holes are dug but we strike a problem.
the rainy season has the water table about 1 meter from the surface.
we waited a few weeks to see if the level dropped....it didn't, so we had to make a decision.
wait 2-3 months and then continue or pile.
the piles were cut off at the correct level and soil was back filled and compacted.
shuttering was started for the footings. A blinding layer of concrete was poured and the steel for the footings and columns added.
Terrific looking plans. Can't wait to see it all come together. Another quality build by splitlid for sure. Good luck!
Could you PM me a rough cost of this one please ?
cheers guys. Nigel, I thought of you when I started this thread as I knew you liked the last one.
time to fill all those holes with concrete.
shuttering off and stub columns are ready for pouring.
stub columns poured and stripped.
all backfilled and compacted, blinding layer of concrete poured and the beams can begin.
and here they are, pics taken today, don't usually work sundays but got to make up the lost time.
beams all poured (mostly), we are leaving a few so the pool can be dug on the 5th.
time for a bit of plumbing, these guys have so far managed to keep away from the normal clusterf@ck of Thai plumbing standards.
Well ..... more welcome education for me .
I haven't seen anchoring like this before . Meaning those tubes into which you turn the rebar .
May I ask ...... how far down into the tubes does that rebar run ?
And then when you have your 'stub' columns formed I can't see how you attach the taller rebar to those stubs .
And I want to understand .
Or at least appear as if I understand .
Happy New Year splitlid .
But to be honest, I'd triple the width of those single windows.
