The last few decades have seen an amazing change in construction work on Koh Samui, with the island morphing from a simple backpacker spot into a sophisticated vacation and lifestyle destination. The island offers everything that a sophisticated beachside idyll would be expected to provide. And the same goes for the housing here. Thanks to construction companies Koh Samui, villas and commercial properties now match the best architecture and design to be found in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean or Australasia.

Over the years, the building industry, along with construction companies Koh Samui, has undergone major evolution. With a wealth of new building materials far more easily available – they used to be harder and therefore more expensive to import – clients can afford to build with style, and enjoy the benefits that come with increased quality. Durability and sustainability have been, for some years now, the cornerstones of construction companies Koh Samui. International standards prevail everywhere and the island now has a cachet for excellence when it comes to construction companies. Koh Samui continues to benefit from its architects and builders who want to ensure that the island retains its charms and keeps its aesthetic appeal.

Companies such as ours, Palm Construction, have become leaders in quality builds and renovation, and equally so for operating a one-stop solution for all construction work. Thanks to bringing together many diverse but expert building teams, we can help our clients in whatever way they request. This simplifies matters as we can act as project manager. No need for a client to work out which team is best for doing what and having to engage multiple different teams to build a home or give an existing property a makeover. And needless to say, with one-stop companies such as ours, gone are the days when language barriers were insurmountable and led to constant misunderstandings.

We can help with more than the actual building of a house, too. For example, many clients want us to look for land for them, ensure that all paperwork is up to date, and if necessary build deep wells and connect the parcel of land to the electrical grid. We can also build access roads too – gone are the days when householders had to rely on dirt tracks to get to their property. We can now build smooth and dependable concrete roads linking a property to the rest of the island. Comfort and convenience are the norm, and construction companies Koh Samui can make sure that a tropical dream doesn’t become a nightmare.

Today’s dream properties tend to be spacious and let in all the light, along with cooling breezes; to do so they rely on large glass panels that can be slid back, enabling everyone to move seamlessly from the indoors to the outdoors. Imagine being able to step from a beautiful open-plan living room onto exterior decking that’s a hop, skip and a splash away from an infinity pool. Such is the norm on Koh Samui. Palm Construction is able to undertake the building of such pools and their surrounds. We can install the most contemporary of filtration systems, add in pool lighting and even create waterfalls and other water features. A specialty of ours is building salas which provide shade on the sunniest of days. We can build and repair traditional tropical wood salas or build their contemporary versions for our clients.

For the outside of a home, we can provide a full landscaping service, and can build driveways, or repair existing ones, even adding in ground-level uplights.

We can build the most modern bathrooms, creating a spa-like atmosphere with Bali-style rain showers and perhaps a granite hot tub, with the possibility of an open-air area. Similarly, bedrooms are oases of tranquility with balconies or terraces, lots of light and, of course, access to ensuite bathrooms.

These are just a few examples of what construction companies Koh Samui can typically provide for their clients. We at Palm Construction can do all this and more, thanks to our teams. And naturally we can also provide all kinds of upkeep whenever needed. We offer services such as cleaning, gardening, pool maintenance and can arrange security in the form of CCTV cameras and full time guards.

It’s easier than ever before to move to Koh Samui and set up a lifestyle that will be a tropical idyll. Many have already done it, and the island has a thriving community of people who have come here from all over the world. Some have had their houses built from scratch; others have purchased an existing property, but all have relied on the ever-increasing expertise of construction companies Koh Samui.

As a leading light among them, Palm Construction invites you to get in touch and share your dream with us. We will certainly be able to help you, all the while keeping within your budget and building or renovating your property according to a time frame that we will have mutually decided upon. It’s easier than ever to take the plunge and start a brand new life on one of the nicest tropical islands around.
