Team

The people who build Northex

We don't assemble crews per project — we have spent years growing a permanent team: engineers, foremen, craftsmen and a workshop. Below is who these people are, what experience they have and what each of them answers for on your project.

20+years of experience — our lead engineers
50+specialists in the team and partner pool
8disciplines covered in-house

Who the team is made of

Six groups cover the full cycle — from the first survey to warranty service. Each has its own area of responsibility, but on site they work as a single process. Engineers with 20–30 years of experience join every project.

8–15 years in the trade
Project managers
They run the project as a whole: schedule, budget, crew coordination and decisions along the way. Each has an engineering degree and experience in Thailand: they know local materials, codes and climate from sites, not from a textbook.
- One point of contact for the owner
- Project schedule and budget
- Coordination of all crews
- Reports in the digital dashboard

Foremen and finishing crews
The company's core — in-house demolition, concrete and finishing crews with their own foremen. People we've completed dozens of projects with: we know how each of them lays tile, and they know we'll check every corner with a level. Crews receive their tasks in two languages — English and their own.
- Demolition and concrete works
- Plaster, screed, paintwork
- Tile, stone, flooring
- A foreman on site every day

MEP crews
Electricians, plumbers and air-conditioning installers — three separate units with their own leads. They build to the design and hand over systems pressure-tested, measured and documented — never "it switches on, good enough".
- Electrical and low-voltage
- Water supply and drainage
- Air conditioning and ventilation
- Commissioning and system passports
6–12 years in the trade
Furniture workshop
Our own production floor in Phuket: a production engineer, machine operators and installers. Kitchens, wardrobes and walk-ins are built in parallel with the site and arrive matched to its real geometry — to a two-millimetre tolerance.
- Precise on-site measurement
- Cutting, edging, drilling
- Installation and appliance cut-ins
- Adjustment a month later
8–14 years in the trade
Design group
A designer, a structural engineer and an estimator working on the project in parallel. What they produce isn't "pretty pictures" — it's working documentation and an estimate the crews can build from without phone calls and guesswork.
- Surveys and design project
- Working documentation
- Material specifications
- Detailed estimate
10–18 years in the trade
Supervision and quality control
Signs off concealed work against checklists with photo records — including work by our own crews. Reports to the company's management, not to the foreman.
- Checklists for every stage
- Concealed work sign-off
- Photo records in the dashboard
- Final acceptance, instruments on request

Founder

Andrey Silakov

Chief Executive Officer

Andrey came into construction from the client's side. Renovating the villa his family lived in showed him how much in Phuket depends on a contractor's honesty — and how rarely an owner knows what is really happening on their site. That is how Northex began: a company that builds for others the way Andrey would want someone to build for him.

He designed the company's digital system himself and keeps developing it: every project lives in it from the first survey, and the client sees their build every day, wherever they are. His goal is for everyone to gain from our work: the family gets a home without surprises, the craftsmen get steady work and growth, and the island gets houses that last for decades.
