Koh Samui continues to attract holidaymakers and investors alike and its popularity shows no sign of waning. Visitors of all kinds are attracted to Samui and they come from all over the world. Some stay just a few days, as part of a holiday, while others are here for a month or more, enjoying a more leisurely vacation. Still others stay considerably longer – these are residents who have chosen to settle on Koh Samui and have a property here in which they live, either full time or part time.

Since the turn of this century, there has been an enormous increase in the number of villas and properties being built for residents from abroad – a growing demographic. It falls to Koh Samui Construction to build their homes for them. Many teams have come and set up on the island, so great is the need. RS Built operates a one-stop approach to building work and thanks to its expertise is at the forefront of Koh Samui Construction.

At RS Built we have brought together all the different teams that are necessary when building a modern home, but have also included a plethora of experts who know how to build in traditional styles. This is essential as even the most contemporary of buildings will usually include one or other grace notes that harken back to original south-east Asian styles. There may, for example, be thatch incorporated into a modern roof or a teak sala with ornamental carvings.

At RS Built, like most building firms, we not only consider the most contemporary versions of architecture and pay homage to the past, but we also consider the future; for us, as with all Koh Samui construction companies, we know that we need to take into account sustainability and the ecology of the entire island. We are cognizant in ways to look after the land and to do this we make sure that excellent planning underpins all our work. For example, flooding can be a problem during the rainy season and houses and roads need to be correctly positioned, so that water doesn’t gather in the hills only to rush down channels to inundate the coastal plains below.

Koh Samui Construction follows a particular order when it comes to building new properties. Firms such as ours at RS Built focus on understanding clients’ needs. Each client will have a different vision, and no matter how vague it may be, firms will seek to fully understand what the client wants. At RS Built, the initial consultation may take some time, but it is time well spent. Then our inhouse architects and designers produce all plans necessary so as to ensure a seamless construction process.

Regarding materials, Koh Samui Construction has a wide array to choose from. The choice is far greater than it ever used to be, and this will reflect in the build of a house. At RS Built we use only best quality materials – this does not mean they have to be super expensive – and aim for durability as well as a beautiful appearance.

During the building process we ensure that all clients have regular updates. These days it is of course not even necessary that a client is on the island while his or her house is being built – we supply updates via photos, videos, etc. We ensure that each and every waystage is satisfactorily completed before we move on to the next. Even if a client is thousands of miles away, we will be able to familiarize them with each step along the way, so that when the time comes for the handover, they will already know how their new home looks; there will be no unpleasant surprises or disappointments.

Increasingly, Koh Samui Construction involves itself with other important aspects of homeowning. For example, here at RS Built we can provide all legal help needed – and not just in regards to the property itself. We can, if requested, help with individual work permits, visas and so on. Similarly, we can help with buying plots of land and conducting all due diligence. Once a building has been completed, we can also provide maintenance services and can even let out an empty property on your behalf. Some properties are for investment purposes only and we are happy to arrange to look after your guests and provide support services of all kinds – whatever is required.

Koh Samui Construction offers complete services for any investor who is considering the island as a base for a new home. If you are interested in building here or have a home that needs repairs done, we at RS Built invite you to have an informal discussion with us. We will certainly be able to help, no matter what your individual circumstances are. In addition we offer competitive rates and we will be able to keep to your desired budget.
