Why clients choose us
Process & Timeline in Koh Samui Construction
We run a structured, transparent process so overseas owners and on-island clients always know what’s happening.
Site Visit & Briefing
We start with a site walk and technical brief: slope, access, existing trees, distance from the beach, drainage patterns and surrounding developments. This is where we flag zoning constraints early (height, footprint, setbacks, green area, etc.).
Design / Scope Confirmation
Working with Archi Studio or your own architect, we lock in the build scope: structure type, levels, pools, retaining needs, material palette and target budget. We align drawings with Samui’s coastal and hillside rules before finalizing.
Quotation & Contract
You receive a detailed, itemised quotation and construction schedule. Contract structure, payment terms and provisional sums are clearly set out (e.g., finishes, specialist systems, contingencies).
Mobilisation & Construction Works
We mobilise the site team, temporary utilities and safety measures. Work progresses through earthworks, structure, MEP, architectural finishes and external works, with regular progress updates and milestone inspections.
Handover, Defects & Aftercare
We complete snagging and defects rectification, then hand over documentation, warranties and as-built plans. A defined defects-liability period ensures you’re covered for post-completion issues.
Frequently Asked Questions (Construction in Koh Samui)
How much does it cost to build a villa in Koh Samui?
Construction costs in Koh Samui generally range from 16,000 THB to 45,000+ THB per square meter, depending on finish quality, site accessibility, and foundation requirements. Ancra Construction provides detailed BOQs to ensure pricing transparency before ground is broken.
Do I need a building permit to build in Koh Samui?
Yes. Strict zoning laws (especially regarding height and distance from the sea) apply. Ancra Construction manages the entire permitting process, ensuring your project complies with the Thai Building Control Act and local environmental regulations.
Can Ancra Construction handle steep hillside projects?
Yes. Hillside construction requires specialized retaining walls and structural engineering to prevent erosion and ensure stability. We have extensive experience navigating the logistics of building on Samui’s mountainous terrain.
How long does a typical villa construction take?
A standard 3-4 bedroom pool villa typically requires 10 to 14 months for completion, allowing for weather contingencies during the monsoon season (typically October–November).
