Prize of Wood Industry Co, a wooden products and flooring manufacturer, expanded its prefabricated wooden houses to include karaoke and coffee shops, and plans to launch two-storey units in three months.

The design for a wooden, prefabricated, removable karaoke shop by Prize of Wood Industry Co that became available recently.

Managing director Khomwit Boonthamrongkit said these karaoke and coffee shops can be customised, removed and reassembled as required, all quite speedily.

Cafe Amazon is the first customer, locating its first prefabricated shop near Thai Chamber of Commerce University. The unit size is 30 square metres and it is scheduled to be completed in 15 days priced at 780,000 baht.

"Our prefabricated wooden house is based on a Lego system. It can be as small or large as desired," he said.

"A resort owner does not need to invest a huge sum of money. He can spend maybe 5 million baht for five units. If business is not good, they can remove the units for reassembly elsewhere. This is less risk to this investment."

The company launched sample prefabricated houses in 10 designs on Boromratchonnanee Road near Phutthamonthon Sai 3 at a cost of 10 million baht.

It has 11 housing designs priced from 24,000 baht per square metre. In three months, it will launch a two-storey unit priced from 34,000 baht per sq m.

"In the UK, an eight-storey prefabricated wooden building takes only one month to complete. There are also hybrid buildings built with wood and concrete. The structure is made from concrete and a wooden box is placed inside," he added.

The company targets sales of 120 units priced 700,000 baht on average by the end of this year, for 84 million in revenue.
