I used Kitzcho also. My kitchen was done by IQ Moderntrade. The cabinets and appliances were bought from them and their carpenters did the wood base and installation.

Your Kitchens look nice, but it's just not our style.

I know that these kind of Kitchens can go up fast and are not that expensive but again it's just not our style. If we had chosen such a kitchen I wouldn't have to post on the board as (I said before) a couple of guys (and my missus just told me even her Uncle) can build such a kitchen.

Thx again for all the comments / tips.

For what you want you probably will not find it out hear. You may find it in Pattaya , Bangkok or Chiang Mai and I have serious doubts on that. You can definitely find it in New York and London. This is Thailand and adaption has to be made or it will be a hard life. Wish you the best in your quest.

GL, sorry mate but you are wrong about that.

I have seen a lot of Kitchens like the one we want in Buriram / Surin, but the builders of those Kitchens are unfortunately too busy to build my Kitchen.

And please note, all the builders in my OP can build such a kitchen and these are companies located in Buriram / Surin.

Yeah I lost almost 3 weeks with one builder (which came highly recommended) because he said he will come and look and never showed up and finally when pushed hard enough admitted that he didn't have the time to do it.

Mike you need to jump on this and keep your fingers crossed. I was going to say you have just about ruled out Buriram and Surin and need to go out of area. Korat, Khon Khan, Udon and Ubon are large metro areas and have large foreign population. Also SinCity and Bangkok. Look for local forms for these areas and you could post on ThaiVisa.

Thanks GL and Charles (ps: PM send)

This is an option we will definitely consider but we already got a couple (read 2)  phone numbers and my missus is in contact with one of them and he will come to the house later this week.

She also contacted our Builder from Pattaya, he has family living not very far from where we are and he could do it, but the timeframe would be 1 month plus (but closer to 2).

He delivers absolute quality work but he is swamped, when I get my PC "shipped" in I will post some pictures of the work he did for us.

What I am noticing is that many (Thai) builders are afraid to take on new clients because that they are afraid of Non-Payment and they only are left with the Deposit. This happened to my (Pattaya) builder already a couple times and he now only takes on jobs of people he knows and who get recommendations from people he knows.

I am working to see if a 2nd Buriram custom kitchen builder will meets the design requirements, construction time table and budget of my valued customer Mike. The primary kitchen team I employ (and guarantee the workmanship) as sub contractors are booked solid this May and June. There is at least one other kitchen counter team that I have contacted for Mike and his wife. Attached are photos of the contractor who has done the most recent indoor Western kitchen counter, laundry area, and exterior Thai style kitchen counters for customers of Buriram Builders Merchants. I also recommend expats contact Ron of ICE furniture and I believe Mike is working with Ron on measurements for a walk in closet. Not every Buriram house builder wants wooden cabinet doors, not every expat desires a brick and concrete kitchen so I work with several experienced suppliers to give my customers valid choices in several price ranges. I certainly have met with salesmen of every major brand of kitchen cabinets sold in stores in Thailand including StarMark, Kitzcho, Diamond, King cabinets, and Kvik Kitchens. I do not import or sell any kitchen cabinets or Kitchen worktops from China. Mr. Pichai

In your original post you ask for recommendations for kitchen builders except Ice Furniture and others. I'm just curious ( or nosey) but was there any particular reason for this? We have recently had a kitchen made by Ice and were very happy with the quality, fit and service.
Looking at the picture of your desired kitchen, I would have thought that Ron and his team at Ice could produce a near enough identified copy.
Our kitchen is certainly not to everyone's personal taste but it's strong, has the soft close features and has been fitted extremely well. Happy to email you pics if your interested.

Definitely a supporter of ICE Furniture here too. Great job, on time and as agreed
And they do furniture, curtains, wardrobes (fitted) as well

Wayne,

Thank you for posting and I think Ron will love your comment, but it's not very helpful in my search for an alternative to those in my OP.

If this turns into a A vs B or A is the best then this thread can be closed as I am not looking for that.

🙏

@iammike

Just came back from visiting a fellow Aussies house.

He is also looking for alternatives for a kitchen he has in mind.

So, just wondering if you got yours sorted out. And if so are you happy with it?
