Koh Samui Developers

Koh Samui's construction sector has seen significant growth in the last 10 to 15 years as the island has gone from being a sleepy fisherman's village to becoming one of Southeast Asia's most popular tourist and lifestyle destinations. Luxurious hotels and resorts, as well as busy commercial developments and stunning private villas have all helped to drive the island's most professional construction businesses from strength to strength.

Whereas the built environment of the past was relatively static in terms of architecture and design, today's ever expanding Koh Samui landscape calls for professional and innovative construction firms and builders who are up-to-date on the latest building technologies and trends. The arrival of international firms like RS Built with a proven track record of success means the quality of construction has improved considerably in the last decade or so.

One of the things that has improved the built environment on Koh Samui is the realisation amongst developers, investors and end-users of the importance of sustainability. Koh Samui has in the past been criticised for a lack of regard for the environment, but with energy prices rising and the economic case of more sustainable buildings clearly proved, things have changed and greener building practiced have been adopted. For instance, most developments nowadays boasts energy saving features such as natural ventilation and re-use of grey water or censors which regulate light and air conditioning depending on the movement detected in rooms. One of the more popular features of late is the inability to turn on air conditioning units when doors are open.

This new green trend is also supported by the local authorities which have become more serious about preserving the island environment. Being an island, Koh Samui has limited resources and is very vulnerable to poor waste management and overuse of fresh water resources. The local authorities have implemented better natural resource management and also set tightened building regulations in order to preserve one of Koh Samui's biggest assets as a tourist destination: natural beauty.

RS Built is one of the pioneer construction companies on Koh Samui. The company has a strong track record of quality developments which adhere to local building regulations while creating the best user and living experience. RS Built offer a wide range of services for every process of the building experience from finding the right plot of land, to designing customised developments and post-build follow up and maintenance. The client is part of that process from the very first step, thus minimising the risk of mistakes which result from poor communication and misunderstandings.
