Koh Samui has changed remarkably over the years – and that’s reflected in the building styles that mark the island as an international travel destination. Once home to traditional Thai architecture, with wood features and many homes being built on low stilts, the vibe today is a lot more contemporary. You can still see many examples of Thai traditions and today’s housing often carries on some traditions with Thai-style adornments and use of local materials. The majority of new buildings are resolutely modern and influenced by top architects across south-east Asia and further afield. Many of today’s properties might easily grace the shores of the Mediterranean, Australia or the Caribbean.

And it’s all been down to builders Koh Samui, who have moved steadily with the times – and with the demands of their very discerning clientele, who come from all over the world. Most of today’s foreign purchasers are all about open-plan layouts, stunning vistas and luxe interior design.

Builders Koh Samui such as our teams at Palm Construction listen to clients’ needs and wishes and realize them in contemporary villas and homes that exude appeal. Our aim is to make all our properties sustainable, comfortable and practical as well as aesthetically pleasing. As Palm Construction is one of the leading builders Koh Samui we help set the bar and seek to raise it ever higher.

If you are thinking of coming to Koh Samui, builders will be able to help you design your dream home or help you renovate an existing property that you wish to buy and modify. At Palm Construction we offer a range of possibilities that suit even the most demanding of purchasers.

We have villas that are built right on the beach and we can also build on still-remaining beach land. Imagine being able to step from your decking right onto the sands and enjoy being just a few meters from the sea.

We also offer hillside properties that mostly have good sea views. These villas are more remote than those directly fronting the beach and are set within Samui’s greenery. With plenty of tranquility, yet easy access to the nearest towns, villas such as these tend to be snapped up very quickly.

Town houses and condominiums are also a specialty of ours, and if you are looking for urban convenience, again with proximity to the sea, we have ongoing developments as well as lists of homes that can be quickly renovated.

We also offer large, opulent villas that are suitable for many guests at the same time. These are to be found in all parts of Samui. They are built as investment opportunities and are ideal for entertaining large groups of visitors who wish to vacation together in an unforgettable meld of luxury and privacy.

At Palm Constriction – and the same goes for all builders Koh Samui – we believe very much in our homes being ecologically friendly. Wherever possible we include new technologies and designs that protect the environment and which invariably end up saving the homeowner money. For example, we can install solar paneling and cooling insulation.

And when it comes to renovation, builders Koh Samui offer a very full range of possibilities; firms like ours, Palm Construction, offer a one-stop solution to all construction and renovation needs. It makes sense to have all renovations done by the same company – who can in turn engage different teams that can then work together. Some of the routine work we do involves re-configuring house layouts so that open spaces can flow together, letting in light and air. And should you find that the interior and exterior of your house are too blocked off from one another, we can put in large sliding glass windows and doors; transparent walls that can simply be pushed back to let the world outside come into your home.

We can add balconies, terraces and all kinds of decking to properties, which simply makes the home seem bigger and again part of the world outside. For most villas, swimming pools are a must, and we are able to build, enlarge and repair them. We can improve upon existing outdoor living areas, provide focal points such as salas, which we are able to build either in traditional Thai styles or more contemporary ones.

Roofing often needs repairing and we are able to do this, as well as replace entire roofs. We can introduce skylights so as to save artificial lighting and we can turn a flat roof into a sloped one, giving a sense of spaciousness. We undertake everything to do with lighting, cooling and electrical supplies so that your home becomes comfortable and practical.

For bathrooms, we are able to incorporate beautiful modern fixtures and replace old-style showers and baths with modern and more practical upgrades. Similarly, we can renovate kitchens and replace outdated equipment and appliances with sleek state-of-the-art versions which will invite even the most reluctant cook to don a chef’s hat and get creative.

Builders Koh Samui are now able to provide a very satisfying and complete array of services. As one of the island’s foremost firms, we at Palm Construction are able to provide full satisfaction as well as guarantees for all our work. Should you wish to come and live on Samui or are already doing so, but would like to update your property, we invite you to have an informal discussion with us.
