Painting, Tiling and Window Fitting

We have now completely tiled the floor of the house and covered the floor with a layer of cardboard to protect the tiles whilst we complete the rest of the interior work.  We are also in the process of installing all of the windows and fitting out the bathrooms.  The granite for the kitchen counter top is due to de delivered and fitted by Monday, which will then allow us to complete the tiling and fitting of the kitchen cabinets and appliances. We have applied an undercoat and are now awaiting top coats of paint.



Painting, ceiling work, kitchen and bathroom preparation

We have completed most of the exterior architectural detailing work and have poured the concrete foot path and patio areas around the house.  We have also nearly completed adding in the suspended gypsum board ceiling and have begun to paint the house.  We have also begun constructing the kitchen and bathroom counter units and carrying out the necessary plumbing work.

Yesterday we started bringing floor tiles and bathroom fittings etc... to the site, ready for installation.

We are currently a week ahead of schedule for our initial planned completion date of 24th April for this project.







Breaking ground

Having marked out the site, we broke ground on our latest project in Thip Thani late yesterday afternoon.  Often the footings would be dug by hand, but the scale of the task on this project required a mechanical solution!  By 11pm all of the footings and the large hole for the basement had been excavated.  Today, we are busy preparing the holes ensuring that the precise size and depth of each is correct.

Yesterday, we also took delivery of a large quantity of re-bar, so today some of our team are now preparing the footing, column and beam reinforcement structures etc..





Another new home in Thip Thani, Nong Khai.

I have just finished the design of a new four bedroom two storey home which we are going to build in Thip Thani, Nong Khai.  Today we began clearing the land and preparing the site and arranging for connection of utilities ready for work to begin.  Our client would like to have the official buddhist ceremony for the new house building on 17th March.  This takes place when the first concrete footing is placed within its foundation hole.  Between now and then, we shall be digging all of the foundation holes and also the large hole for the basement room that this house has.  We shall also by preparing all of the steel reinforcement for the columns, footings and some of the beams, in order to speed up the construction process after the 17th March.
