Hi guys, I have had some small works done by a Thai builder, he doesn't seem able or keen to finish the works. I still owe him the final stage payment and that is enough money for me to pay another builder. So i am looking for a reputable builder to finish this small job in the Pattaya area. If anybody can help, it would be much appreciated

Answer summary

An expat in Pattaya is seeking recommendations for a reliable builder to complete unfinished construction work after a local builder has been unresponsive. Community members advise on alternative groups to post in and provide a trusted builder's contact, emphasizing the builder's skills and reliability, while cautioning the expat about not paying the initial builder until the work is completed.

Song is your man. Parwin (nickname is Song) is a Thai man who runs a building construction company called P V Lanna Construction.

He can do small jobs to complete house builds but can get very busy.

He employs tradesmen of all descriptions. He has built 3 houses for my Australian Vietnam Veteran friend, the latest in Hang Dong.

He has also built a house for my American friend at Doi Saket.

Both friends are very happy with Parwin’s work.

I have used his tradesmen for fencing, concreting, a lot of difficult tiling (by a Burma man and his wife as his helper), carpentry, insect screens, painting, electrical. plumbing, roofing, to install rain gutters, to install security screens and doors, build a yard storage unit and pool shed and to do repairs. He replaced my gate with a stainless steel one with electric remote operation. Parwin has remodeled my kitchen. I am very happy with the fencing (palings and brick) that he did for me. Parwin has installed ceiling insulation in my home.

Parwin speaks excellent English and goes the extra yard to satisfy his customers and his prices are reasonable.

He has my very strong recommendation.

But be aware that the company is usually very busy and may not be able to assist you immediately.

I live in San Pu Loei and am happy to show you examples of his work.

I have no financial interest in this man’s business. I am only trying to pass on information on a business that has helped me many times in the past and at a very reasonable price.

Contact Parwin on Tel: 094 702 0712.

Feel free to mention my name (Tell him Kai and Paul from San Pu Loei).
