Turnkey villa fit-out
We take a villa from the developer in bare shell or after reconstruction — and hand back a home you can move into with a suitcase: lighting, furniture, appliances, curtains and plates on the shelves.
Developers in Phuket hand over villas as "bare shell" or "standard finish" — both are a long way from a home. An owner who lives in another country doesn't need a renovation project; they need an outcome: a home ready to live in or to let by a specific date. That is what this service is built for.
We work to a fixed estimate and plan the schedule backwards from the date: first we set the key handover day, then lay out the stages with buffers for deliveries. Insurance and deposits are our concern. All that's left for you is to approve the design and accept the finished home.
Fitting out a 200–400 m² villa takes eight to sixteen weeks, depending on the scope. A week before handover we deep-clean, set out the furniture and photograph the home for the owner. Many see it finished for the first time — in those photos.
How we do it
A villa fit-out means dozens of adjacent trades on one site. Our process is built so the stages never block each other and the whole home reaches the handover date together.
- 01
Villa acceptance from the developer
Before starting we check the home against a 50+ point checklist: wall geometry, screed, roof, water and power entries, window operation. Defects are documented and returned to the developer under warranty — that's their job, not your budget.
- 02
Engineering preparation
We rewire around the lighting and furniture plan, move water points where needed and rough in the air-conditioning runs. Every run goes in before finishing starts.
- 03
Fast, dry finishing technologies
Where it makes sense we choose short-cycle solutions: engineered wood instead of solid, large format instead of mosaic, ready-made panels. Fewer wet trades mean shorter timelines and fewer risks.
- 04
Furniture made to the home's measurements
Kitchen, wardrobes and walk-ins are produced from precise on-site measurements taken after first fix — no site-scribed fillers, no gaps. Moisture-resistant carcasses, Blum or Hettich hardware.
- 05
Styling and move-in
On request we buy and place everything to "move in tomorrow" level: appliances, textiles, tableware, décor. The home is handed over cleaned, with a guide to every system.
Ideas and renderings
Our approach
In a turnkey fit-out the date is everything. A family's move or the start of a rental season often hangs on it, so we plan the schedule backwards. Long-lead materials — stone, sanitaryware, appliances — are ordered on day one.
The estimate is fixed in the contract line by line. If you decide to swap a material midway, we reprice the difference openly, against supplier invoices — no "complexity coefficients".
We work with many investment villas and know what the rental market demands: hard-wearing surfaces, repairable finishes, a neutral palette that photographs well. If the villa was bought to let, we'll tell you honestly where saving makes sense and where it doesn't.
Who works on site
A villa is handled by a crew of 8–14 with one foreman. Furniture is produced in parallel with the finishing works, so the home is handed over without a trace of the build.
Project manager
Runs the villa from developer acceptance to key handover — one contact for the owner on schedule and budget.
Fit-out crew
Finishers, an electrician and a plumber working as one crew: tidy, clean and on schedule.
Furniture workshop
Our own surveyor and installers — kitchens and wardrobes are produced in parallel with the fit-out.
