As more professional builders and ever higher levels of investment pour into Koh Samui, the island has seen a major upswing in both the quantity and fortunately also the quality of construction in new projects around the island. Increased sophistication in the international market has pushed less reputable or lower quality firms out of business. This has left more professional operations that offer guarantees and top of the line materials that were hard to find in years past. The result is a benefit to buyers and consequently a much more stable, long term property market.

With the construction industry booming around the island, related services have grown in leaps and bounds as well. Better quality materials are now more easily available than ever before, and even the most demanding of buyers will be able to find the latest and best when it comes to security systems, lighting controls, eco-friendly swimming pools, and contemporary interior options for their dream home or resort. International names are becoming more and more prevalent, and island living can now easily be as modern and sophisticated as it is the more developed areas on the Thai mainland or over on Phuket.

The increase in investment has also created greater competition amongst construction and design firms on the island, with those that can demonstrate past projects to potential clients enjoying ever greater success. Experience is extremely important for today’s discerning buyers, and more professional firms like RS Built are true experts with regards to not only the environment of Koh Samui, but also in understanding the importance of the island’s unique topography when planning new projects.

Companies like RS Built take special care to make sure new projects don’t upset the delicate eco system, and green ideas are often incorporated in every step of the process, from acquiring environmentally construction materials to interiors designed with water and electricity conservation in mind.
