Start with a villa and a defined scope
Costs depend on the plot, floor areas and specifications. To compare projects, bring together the plans, indoor and outdoor areas, equipment, pool and specification. A personal home and a rental villa may need different fittings, and these choices belong in design.
A price per square metre can support the discussion once the scopes match. Keep the same area definitions and inclusions: terraces, gardens and equipment cannot be treated as equivalent to interior living space.
A concrete reference: the two Lakeside Bliss packages
Lakeside Bliss is a development in Nong Thale with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, 150 m² of living space, a 45 m² terrace and a 4 × 8 m pool. The offer confirmed on 11 October 2026 sets out two alternative packages. Choose one as your budget starting point; the two prices are not added together.
Handover is planned for January 2027. The dated unit offer and contract documents set out your price, specifications and schedule. This is a development currently in progress.
| Package | Price in THB | Budget treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Starting package | From 8,990,000 | Check the scope in the unit offer |
| Turnkey | 9,990,000 | An alternative to the starting package, subject to the contractual specification |
Match each cost item to the quotation
The budget brings together land rights, site preparation, studies, applications, building work and the chosen equipment. How each item is covered depends on the package and plot. Do not add an item again if it is already included in the unit price.
Terrain, drainage, equipment access, water, electricity and wastewater belong in preparation. Quotations and their schedules help separate included work, separately priced items and items still requiring a proposal.
| Item | Document to review |
|---|---|
| Land and land rights | Unit offer and documents setting out the proposed rights |
| Studies and preparation | Studies, earthworks, drainage and access in the quotation |
| Permits and applications | Administrative scope and fees set out in the offer |
| Building work and finishes | Plans, areas, materials and specification |
| Furniture and equipment | Chosen package list and selected options |
| Associated costs | Applicable fees and professional charges |
Budget for life after handover
Initial costs are separate from annual running costs: maintenance, utilities, repairs, insurance and equipment replacement. Personal stays affect the periods available for guests.
JLT Estate management is offered at 20% of rent received after platform commissions. Villa operating costs remain separate from that fee. For rental plans, consider expenses and personal-use dates alongside your assumptions; income and occupancy are not guaranteed.
Prepare a budget for your own plans
For our conversation, share your intended use, desired living space, preferred location and overall budget. If you already have a plot or quotation, we can review it against these items. The aim is a clear budget for your villa, with an identified scope and specification choices.
