Hi there

I am looking for a good, professional design/construction company to finish a bungalow resort project near Chaweng, done approx. 50%. Includes about 35 bungalows to be finished and fitted out. Construction of 2 new swimming pools, side-buildings, large restaurant, kitchen, storage etc. etc.

The company needs to be able to deliver full design to 4/5 star standard, must show prior successful projects, have manpower to start asap. and deliver in reasonable time frame.

Also interested in opinions of readers, what their favorite high standard Samui resort is. Thank you and have a great Sunday. PF.

I have sent a PM with a couple of suggestions.

On what I like in a resort? I do not go to many, but the Sala Samui (Choengmon) is a favourite. Why?

Pleasant atmosphere, very good food, discount for locals (cuts out the ++) very attentive/friendly staff, OK gym

Thank you all so far. Hopefully some more feedback coming. Also companies welcome to contact me. But should have existing top projects to show. I am looking for a good general contractor who can handle the entire package. Have a nice Sunday! M.

hi

i know many construction companies

most will be absolutely fine with the construction phase

however most of them fail in the finishing phase ,mainly due to lack of management /skills

get yourself an independent project manager that has no connections with the construction company [who ever you use ]

and make absolutely clear to the construction company their role and make sure this is added to your construction contract ,

contact me personally if you need more info

i would recommend some hotels like

four seasons

hansar in bophut is quite nice

much depends on the style of finish you require

modern or more thai stlye?

The OP asked for referrals. Please do so Via PM function. Names of individuals etc... have been deleted & so have the remarks made.

More Thai Style....Thanks....PF.

A project of this size with 35 bungalows and you are asking these sort of question this is a multi million baht project and you should have this all sorted before hand. How about showing photo's and a plan of the existing project.

Thanks John for your advise. ;-) Will contact you when we are stuck. Always happy to learn from experts.PF.

With all due respect, I would be contacting some well known Building Companies in Bangkok. 99.9 % of these sort of projects undertaken on the island are not from local builders as the major contractor, they might do sub work, but not the project.

So you don't have any photo's or plans so advise can be given?

Thanks Roo - Exactly what we are doing. We just wanted to see if any of the Thaivisa members might come up with some great local referral.

Thanks to all. We certainly will keep the few positive contractor recommendations on file for smaller jobs. Thanks to all & Have a great week. PF.
