Project Details
One of the project’s prominent point is the house itself, which is built with the innovations from the cooperation of SCG HEIM and SEKISUI. To demonstrate, the project implemented “prefabricated home” method where different parts of the house are built and quality-checked at the factory, then assemble as a whole at the real site. This will lay a strong foundation for the house, which will reduce the intensity of earthquake as a plus. Detailed steps can be explained further through pictures below.
Site Observation
First, the team has to observe to real site to inspect many aspects such as the land size, soil condition, and the route for transporting parts of the house to the site. Afterwards, constructing the house starts with the base which comprise of two foundations. The first one includes the ground base, foundation piles and pipeline system for killing termites. Second, raising the house level up by 55 cm. with concretes, and lay the sanitary system and air-conditioning pipeline underneath. This way would facilitate the maintenance of these system, without the need to demolish structures of the house.
Meantime, the structure of the house will be assembled by robots at the factory; insulators, doors, windows, ceiling and wall will be set up by workers. Then, all parts will be delivered to the site as shown in the picture
Assembling the house
Each part will be assembled and sealed precisely as planned; then wiring and electrical system will be connected as a whole. The whole process takes about 1-2 days
The assembling of the house needs precision to the degrees of millimetre, for the maximum safety and durability of the house
Electrical wiring, air-conditioning and air-ventilations
There are professional assessments for every electrical appliances and water stagnation on the bathroom’s flooring. To demonstrate, the engineers assess by leaving water on the floor for an entire night to see the effects. Afterwards, “Air Factory” pipeline will be set throughout the house and bathroom sanitary along tiles will be occupied in the bathroom. The house is also equipped with water pump, tank, eco-tank, and sewage-conduit. Then, the next step will be the interiors of the house.

Location
Real estate market in Pakchong-Khaoyai is majorly divided into two segments; first, locals who demand residences, especially condominiums, nearby their workplaces in the city-area, second, Bangkok people who aspire for holiday homes which accounted for a smaller portion in the market. Nevertheless, there are supportive policies to boost this segment such as the discount for transfer fees and more flexible loan regulation from financial institution. Moreover, if the two infrastructure mega projects are approved, Bang Pa In-Nakhon Ratchasima motorway and high-speed rail, the area would definitely become a potential region and surge the land prices upward. However, the essence of having a holiday-home lies in the sense of privacy and natural ambiance.
Getting There
Baan Sita Wan is situated in an alley that connects to Tessaban 5 Rd and the main route that would take you from Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima is Mitrapap Rd
Eateries
From Tessaban 5 Rd, there’s a route number 2422 before reaching Mitrapap Rd and Thanaratch Rd. This road is the melting pot of famous restaurants such as Dok Ya Restaurant, Ruen Thai Restaurant, Krua Ngoen, Waterside House; but if you travel further down on Thanaratch Rd., there’s another famous restaurant namely “Krua Khao Yai.”
Hospitals
There are Pak Chong Memorial Hospital and Bangkok Hospital Pakchong situated 8-minute and 13-minute respectively, away from the project.
Lifestyle Amenities
Palio Khao Yai
Sheep Land
Premium Outlet Khaoyai
Friendship Meadows Country Club
Highland Golf Club
Analysis
14 MB for a holiday-home size 238 Sq.m. is quite a reasonable price; it’s the amount of money that you could purchase a penthouse or a nice residence in Khao Yai. Moreover, considering the quick transfer and free after-service, the project is worthwhile for both home buyers and investors to speculate the land price in the long run
