What is Turnkey Construction?
Turnkey means you receive a completed, move-in ready property—from architectural design and permits to furniture and landscaping. For international investors, this eliminates coordinating contractors, navigating Thai regulations, or being physically present.
Ancra delivers your Koh Samui villa as a finished asset, not a project to manage.
Regulatory Shield
We navigate Thai land laws, the Samui Model enforcement, Zone 80-meter height restrictions, and slope protection regulations.
Includes
Chanote verification • EIA compliance • Construction permits • Occupancy certification
Fixed-Price Contracts
Powered by 5D BIM technology. Every material quantity, labor hour, and contingency calculated before ground breaks. Zero ambiguity.

FAQ
Questions We Answer Often
Everything international investors need to know about building in Koh Samui.
Construction costs range from ฿22,000 to ฿45,000+ per square meter. A typical 300 sqm luxury villa with pool costs ฿10.5-15 million THB ($300,000-$430,000 USD), including permits, MEP, finishes, and furniture. Hillside locations add 10-15% for foundation engineering.
A luxury villa takes 10-14 months from groundbreaking to handover. This includes 2-3 months permits, 8-10 months construction, and 2-4 weeks handover. Our parallel workflow with KraftLine reduces timelines by 30%.
Foreigners cannot directly own land but have legal options: long-term leasehold (30+30+30 years), Thai company ownership with proper structure, and condominium ownership (49% foreign quota). We coordinate with Thai legal counsel to establish appropriate ownership structures.
The “Samui Model” refers to enhanced enforcement of building regulations since 2022-2023. This includes stricter 80-meter elevation limits, slope protection, and environmental compliance. Properties without proper permits face demolition. Our BIM documentation ensures full compliance.
Yes. Every project includes 24/7 PTZ 4K camera access via secure portal and mobile app. Starlink ensures reliable streaming. You receive weekly video reports and archived footage. Most clients manage builds entirely from overseas.
