How much would it cost?
How much would a simple small bungalow like this cost to build?

Re: How much would it cost?
Hate to say "it depends" but it does.
Near me, just outside of SHV between $5k-$10k. Probably cheaper other places. Construction material costs and labor costs are higher here than only a year ago.
Cambodian friends just finished their house about a month ago, they paid $8k,
Not including land, their house is at least half again as big.

up to you...
Re: How much would it cost?
If you do build a house, use some design ideas from Western countries. If you build something better than most, you should get a good price when you sell it.

Re: How much would it cost?
Really, I totally get the 'depends' part, its awfully vague. My lady said between 5-10 k also. I asked her to show her dad and ask him what he thought.Clemen wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 1:56 pm Hate to say "it depends" but it does.

Any photos of what similar to what you describe?
For the 8 K house are you saying smaller or bigger?
We just acquired a little piece of land, 10 X 25. Its not ideal, but the price was right. This would not be the dream home build, more like a practice run and a start to something more.
We've rented a small apartment before, with a separate kitchen and bathroom and otherwise one room and a balcony. Ideally I would want a separate bedroom, and a living kitchen area combined. But it doesn't have to be that big. I also think I would like to build an attached garage, but not yet sure.
Thanks for the input.

Re: How much would it cost?
Morticia and I are planning a small bungalow in the province as well, along those lines. We get similar quotes.

I have heard from the people who have build before in Cambodia saying that good Cambodian quality build cost $300-$350/m2 and from $450-$XXX/m2 when you want closer to western quality and finishing. Standard local quality and finishing can be achieved as low as $200/m2 even. The more you can do yourself (building or sourching the materials), the more it drop the cost.

Re: How much would it cost?
I rented a 2 bed bungalow like this before and the heat radiating from the ceiling was ridiculous. It would definitely need to be ventilated and insulated. I would also consider insulating or double bricking the outside walls of the bedroom for A/C.
There's a few small things i would like to do that wouldn't cost a lot more if I was there managing the project.

Passive design is the key as it responds to local climate and site conditions to maximise comfort and health while minimising energy use.

Her dad just did an interesting thing. They elevated their own wooden house about 5 ft. as the neighborhood improvements on adjacent properties resulted in flooding them out. So after the house was raised, they rebuilt everything under, including a western toilet "so RickyBobby can take a shit" said her dad.rogerrabbit wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 2:19 pm I have heard from the people who have build before in Cambodia saying that good Cambodian quality build cost $300-$350/m2 and from $450-$XXX/m2 when you want closer to western quality and finishing.

I think he could get it all done for me at best prices.
