Any visitor to Samui will be pleasantly surprised by how contemporary the housing situation now looks. As time goes by, the island gets better and better and housing, once far more rudimentary, has for some years been on a par with other internationally acclaimed destinations, such as the Caribbean or Mediterranean.

Houses and homes have been built which reflect the very best of contemporary Asian architecture. Some have won prizes; others are featured in prestigious design magazines; all are a delight to live in. They boast modern amenities and ooze sheer comfort and elegance in equal proportions. It can safely be said that Samui’s pioneer days are over. Those days were when the island was finding its feet as a vacation destination, when the infrastructure had yet to be developed. Once the airport was built and transport around the island was improved, then it became far easier to build and maintain houses. Local wooden structures made way for more substantial dwellings and more and more people wanted to come and live here.

The situation today means that the headaches that invariably came with building a property and looking after it are a thing of the past. Firms such as Palm Construction have long settled here and offer a complete solution for Koh Samui house renovation – and no matter if the task is big or small.

We can build from scratch and produce a brand-new home that meets international standards across the board, or if you already have a property, we can perform the full spectrum of renovation tasks.

Here are some examples of tasks that we can undertake.

We offer a full renovation of wooden structures. Whether it’s a balustrade, a flight of steps or an entire pavilion or sala, we will be able to repair damage, replace sections and make good as new. We are incidentally experts in working with all kinds of tropical hardwoods. We also know where to source different kinds of wood. We can naturally build in wood, from scratch. The same applies for decking. Outdoor decks may need attention after some time, and whatever the material, we can work with it.

Often, it’s a driveway that requires attention; cracks may appear and the entire cap of concrete may become completely uneven. We can suggest what kind of repair would be best suited. We can also completely repave exteriors, using bricking instead of concrete.

We are also able to undertake gardening work of any kind. Your property may look a lot better once landscaping has been done. We can remove or add in boulders, replant trees and even add in water features.

We are able to build and repair swimming pools and ensure that their surrounds are pristine. We are able to provide upkeep for your swimming pool, as well – prevention is always better than the cure.

Smart homes are increasingly desired and your property might benefit with an upgrade. We can add in any features that you would like to have and provide you with state-of-the-art electronics. The results may amaze you if you are not familiar with cutting-edge technology. And naturally we keep abreast of all developments, as technological progress is so rapid.

Lighting, especially downlighters, may also further enhance the vibe of your home, and we can replace outdated or simply mediocre-looking systems. For the home’s electrical supply and circuitry, we have a dedicated team of electricians who can advise you on exactly what’s needed.

Plumbing is also a major consideration for any householder, and in the tropics, there is even more to think about. We are able to do everything that impacts on a house’s plumbing. We can dig a deep well if needed, carry out all well and pump maintenance. And we can naturally replace old piping inside a property. For sinks and baths, we have elegant solutions and can install and plumb in Jacuzzis and hot tubs.

For roofs, we can add in guttering – it’s still surprising how many properties lack this feature – and repair/replace existing roofing. We can insulate lofts, enabling you to cut down on cooling costs. The walls of your property may need attention too, if there is mold or cracks. We can deal with any problems. Very often, we are called to re-paint a property and ensure that outside pipes are repaired or replaced at the same time.

We can confidently operate in so many different areas as our policy is to operate a one-stop building, renovation and construction company. This means that a single phone call is enough to start your renovation work. Once we have discussed what work needs doing, we will send the appropriate experts and teams to your property to complete the work. It will be seamlessly done and finished according to the deadlines that we have established together.

Palm Construction takes all the difficulties out of renovations. We are also highly competitive when it comes to price and most of our work comes with guarantees. If you are interested, we will be happy to discuss your needs, and will show you how easy it is to get your renovations done in a timely and professional way.
