Koh Samui’s charms are powerful enough that those who have never visited its shores want to come here, and those who have already been here want to return. And many nowadays are not content with simply holidaying here – they want to live in their own homes and enjoy an increasingly attractive lifestyle. The island offers no drawbacks at all and gone are the days when living here was on the rough-and-tumble side. For the last two decades, the island has been busy updating its infrastructure across the board: electricity, internet connectivity, roads, water, not to mention air and maritime connections with the mainland and beyond. For everyone it’s a vastly improved situation. Nobody now hankers after a more sophisticated lifestyle; it has arrived already and is present island-wide.
Firms like Palm Construction have taken a leading part in Koh Samui, ensuring that the standard of living has risen maximally when it comes to the property market: we have been and remain at the forefront of good building practices, making sure that our builds meet exacting standards that buyers from the west will find familiar. We take charge of each and every step. From checking the land all the way through to the final finish and handing the keys to the new householder, everything is part of a rigorous process. There’s no cutting of corners; no sloppiness; no hastiness. We, along with other quality builders, believe very much in keeping to the strictest of good practices. That formula applies to whether we are building a single property or an entire development consisting of dozens of villas.
We are able to guarantee that the materials we use in the construction are high-quality and have been chosen to provide both excellence and durability. We also have an impressive array of fittings and fixtures which come from a variety of global sources, making sure that the quality is of the best.
And once a property has been completed, we are also able to look after it, offering maintenance services of every kind. Depending on the client’s brief, this might mean cleaning and gardening or ensuring the security of the property, or even something unique that a client may require. We cater not just for our residents who live on Samui full-time, but also those who are seasonal visitors. And, of course, there are those who have had villas and properties built solely for investment purposes – this last group may rarely, if ever, personally visit and prefer to rent out their properties.
Even if the owner of a property is away for much or all of the time, there is no need to worry as Palm Construction can bring peace of mind by appropriately looking after the property and ensuring that all is well.
Koh Samui is no backwater to the ongoing drive for sustainability and we are part of that debate, adhering to important concepts, such as how to collect rainwater, how to ensure that energy is efficient and how to use the land in a way that does not degrade it.
And since Koh Samui is on the move as a sought-out destination, we also keep up to date on all matters regarding the economy, both nationally and regionally; we pride ourselves on being cogniscent of legal issues to do with ownership and the laws that allow investors from outside Thailand to buy property here. We are regularly in contact with lawyers, accountants and the local offices concerning every aspect of current regulations.
It has often been pointed out that there have been too many setbacks when it comes to the environment in fast-developing areas of the world, and tourist regions are no exception. Koh Samui witnessed an explosion of popularity starting a little before the turn of the new century and progress was, in the eyes of many, simply too fast. Those days have changed and we now see a Koh Samui that is mindful of the way it is developing. Serious discussions are now the order of the day and there’s a growing demand to look after the island in ways that will benefit it for the years to come. Quality is now standard in anything to do with building or civil engineering and those who live here and those who wish to buy here are united in insisting on good practices across the board.
Palm Construction has since its earliest days adhered to the principles of quality and has emerged as one of the go-to companies that can be relied on for adhering to demanding regulations and practices. This is the way that we have always been and continue being so. We feel the island deserves only the best and aim to provide it.
Should you have plans to live here on Samui, then we invite you to come and have an informal chat with us and see how we can help you fulfil your dreams here. As one of the island’s well-known building consultants, we pride ourselves on listening to our clients and helping them with their projects.
