For many of us it’s our dream – to build a property abroad and completely change our lifestyle from top to bottom. It used to be a pipedream but here on Koh Samui it’s now completely possible. And easier than it has been ever before.

Setting up on Koh Samui is really very simple; it’s one of the countries that actively welcomes those who wish to live here. And when it comes to building a property on Koh Samui everything has been facilitated to make the journey to becoming a homeowner a cinch.

Long gone are the days when the first house builders had to contend with a lot of misunderstandings as they put together small teams responsible for each part of the home; architects, builders, plumbers and electricians all had to be marshaled together. They had to work on plans that were all in English, and often not comprehensible – and not only because of the language. Many potential homeowners had no experience of designing and building and some had ideas that were impractical in the tropics.

As more and more holidaymakers decided to put down their tent pegs on Koh Samui and build themselves properties, construction firms came to the island to make the process easier. Companies like ours at RS Built led the way in forming one-stop enterprises that would be able to deal with every aspect of building.

We and our peers are well established in the Samui housing market and when it comes to building a property Koh Samui, RS Built is one of the leaders. We are able to offer turnkey solutions whenever needed – our teams cover everything in the building industry and we can bring whichever ones are needed to each project. RS Built also acts as project manager, meaning that you do not even need to be on the island. No longer do homeowners need to inspect progress every day and generally be on site; all that is done on your behalf.

In fact, most of our clients aren’t on Koh Samui fulltime. Many are absent while their homes are being built. We also have clients who are pure investors; once the home is built they may never see it as they will be renting it out to holidaymakers. Whatever your situation, we are able to take charge of your property to the extent that you would like us to. We can send you property updates, photos, descriptions of work done and needless to say we check all stages are complete before moving on to the next.

We build in contemporary styles and can construct anything from an apartment block to a villa to a mansion. We also build commercial properties of every kind. We construct buildings that let in the light and are pleasing to the eye and practical to live in. We can build in whatever style the future homeowner would like. We keep to our clients’ budgets and also to their timeframe. With us you can expect to put the key in the front door exactly as per the timeframe that we have agreed upon.

We have a European background and are used to working with stringent regulations – exactly as we would back in our home countries. Our goal is to build homes that stand the rigors of time and that need as little maintenance as possible. To that end we use high quality materials, fixtures and fittings throughout the home. Our approach is professional and we make sure that everything is done so that the home satisfies our clients’ requests.

If you are building a property on Koh Samui, you will know that simply building in a foreign country is quite different from building at home. We are able to supply all the support services that you may need. Very probably you will be unfamiliar with the terrain of Koh Samui – many of the great plots of land are hidden away – and we can help you find exactly the right spot. Back at home, you may have spent decades in your area of choice, and really know where you want to set up. But here on Koh Samui even repeat vacationers have little idea of all the gems that are to be found on the island.

We can naturally help you buy the land. We check all the paperwork and make sure everything is legal. And we can help you too with your own paperwork, such as visas and company papers. In short we can give you complete peace of mind, thanks to the legal teams we work with.

And once your house is built, we can help you maintain it and keep its pristine condition.

If you are interested in building a property on Koh Samui, we at RS Built invite you to a friendly chat to discuss your needs. With us as your partner, you will find that you will be able to make your dream a firm reality – and quickly too.
