| Abstract | In an attempt to help solve Thailand low-income housing problems, two experimental low-cost asbestos cement houses have been designed and constructed for use in suburban and rural areas. Attractive, sturdy, and comfortable, these one-story asbestos cement houses are simple to build with the employment of low-skilled labour and prefabricated construction materials. The unit cost of the duplex is about B500 per square meter. With floor areas of about 50 square meters per unit, the total cost is B25,000 per unit. The other house is a single detached unit with floor areas of about 60 square meters, the total cost being
B32,000. They are designed to meet the requirements of Thai National Standard Specifications. |
