Step 1: Understanding the Building and Construction Regulations in Thailand
Before starting any construction project, it’s essential to understand the legal framework set by the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning and your local municipality.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Types of Construction Projects Requiring a License: New builds, renovations, extensions, and demolitions typically require a license. This includes residential homes, commercial buildings, factories, and more.
- Compliance with Building Codes: Your project must follow the Thai National Building Code—this includes structural safety, fire safety, accessibility, and more.
SiamConsult helps ensure every box is ticked for your safety and approval. - Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): Some large projects need an EIA report.
If required, we assist with certified consultants and approvals.
Step 2: Preparing Your Documents and Building Plans
Once you know the requirements, it’s time to gather the necessary documents.
Here’s what we help you prepare:
- Building Plans: Professionally drawn architectural and structural designs, signed by a licensed architect and engineer.
- Project Description: A complete summary of your project, including the type, size, location, and materials used.
- Ownership Documents: Title deed, lease agreement, or certified land ownership paperwork.
We help ensure it meets Thai government standards. - EIA Report: For certain projects, an approved environmental report is required. SiamConsult will arrange this if needed.
- Engineering Reports: Safety calculations, soil tests, and structural stability documentation.
- Fire & Accessibility Plans: Documents ensuring compliance with fire regulations and access for people with disabilities.
Don’t worry—we handle the paperwork and formatting so it’s done right the first time.
Step 3: Submitting Your Application for a Building and Construction License
After gathering everything, the next step is submitting your application to your local District Office or City Hall. Here’s how we support you:
