Building or remodeling a property in Cambodia

Hey guys, did anyone ever try to build something on your own from scratch or from an abandoned property, for example? I was just curious because i have some background in construction in the States, although not really as a professional property developer, more like a past-time. Im just considering the idea of building my own space to save some cash, and also id get the say in how it was designed (i can do the plans myself or with the help of a Khmer architect). Then for me the plan would be to build it slowly, over time, so that I can spread the construction costs out over some months. Just an idea. Thanks How did yours go?

I know a very good Khmer engineer. When I built my house, I wanted to do some longer spans than is typical. He put it into a Cad program and could pinpoint exactly where I needed columns, and how beefy the beams needed to be. His staff is excellent with Sketchup, and can do a very nice rendering. Let me know if you would like his help.
I have another friend of mine who bought a book in town of drawings for houses. He picked one out that he liked and the result was great. I could find out from him where he got it.
PM me if I can be of any help, and if you move forward with the build...I can offer some things that I learned from doing it.
Best of luck.

Hi Matty, I am an Aussie & been here for 20 years, working in various industries & commercial areas.
Relevant is Management in Construction & construction materials fabrication.
I managed a concrete block factory for 4 years, resort development manager, roofing steel factory manager & prefabricated homes for rural farming & resorts.
I am retired but working on developing more eco & sustainable construction materials for Cambodia resources including foam & aircrete infil wall panels among others.
I have several Khmer Construction personnel following my techniques.
Just within prefabricated homes we had sold more that 700 units with 18 months.

Thanks for the advisement, generally speaking, my experience doing biz with Cambodians is that they are very truthful, but this guy is from Australia, is that correct? haha he gave his real name on the Telegram.

Believe what you like but I've been honest all the way, your rumors in are in abundance by the misled & I have nothing to hide.
Well Matty, sorry but I have & never looked for money in the offer but to help Cambodia.
I have great supportive friends who really know the truth.
That's why I can use my true name & not hide like most repliers here!
Wish you a good life!
