Project Detail
Location: Karon, Phuket
Project type: Hotel and hospitality development
Development: Two five-storey hotel buildings
Guest rooms: 40 rooms
Construction system: Prefabricated structural wall and floor panels
Sotech Asia’s role: Main contractor, structural redesign, component manufacturing and interior works
Project status: Completed
Sotech Asia was appointed as the main contractor to deliver a complete turnkey construction solution for the Anda Beachside Hotel in Karon, Phuket.
The completed development comprises two five-storey buildings containing a total of 40 guest rooms. Each building is equipped with two elevators, while the hotel also features a swimming pool positioned on an upper floor.
As an experienced construction company Phuket hotel developers rely on, Sotech Asia managed the project’s redesign, prefabricated construction, building works and complete interior fit-out.
Completed Turnkey Construction Scope
Sotech Asia coordinated and delivered the principal construction and interior works for both hotel buildings.
The completed scope included:
- Architectural and structural redesign
- Detailed construction and shop drawings
- Prefabricated structural wall panels
- Prefabricated concrete floor panels
- In-house component fabrication
- Transportation and installation of prefabricated components
- Two elevators in each building
- Upper-floor swimming-pool construction
- Architectural construction and finishes
- Mechanical, electrical and plumbing coordination
- Complete guest-room interiors
- Common-area interior works
- Specialist-subcontractor coordination
- Quality and safety management
- Construction planning and site supervision
- As-built documentation
Providing these services under one coordinated contract allowed Sotech Asia to manage the project from technical development through to final completion.
Architectural and Structural Redesign
The structural systems for both buildings were redesigned by Sotech Asia’s in-house architectural and engineering team.
The redesign transformed the original concept into detailed, buildable solutions suitable for prefabricated construction. Particular attention was given to coordinating the structural wall and floor panels with the hotel layouts, building services, elevators and upper-floor swimming pool.
The technical-development process included:
- Architectural planning and detailing
- Structural analysis and design coordination
- Prefabricated component development
- Connection and installation details
- Elevator-shaft coordination
- Swimming-pool structural coordination
- Integration of building services
- Preparation of construction and production drawings
This integrated design approach allowed the prefabricated components to be manufactured accurately and installed efficiently while maintaining the hotel’s architectural requirements.
Prefabricated Structural Construction
The two hotel buildings were constructed using prefabricated structural wall and floor panels.
The components were fabricated before being transported to the project site for installation. This approach supported accurate construction, consistent quality and efficient progress across both buildings.
The prefabricated system incorporated:
- Structural wall panels
- Concrete floor panels
- Engineered panel connections
- Coordinated openings for building services
- Elevator-shaft integration
- Standardised components adapted to the hotel design
Prefabricated construction provided several advantages:
- Consistent component quality
- Accurate dimensions
- Reduced on-site formwork
- Efficient installation
- Improved construction sequencing
- Reduced dependence on weather-sensitive site activities
- Consistent workmanship across both buildings
- Improved control of the construction programme
The system was carefully coordinated to provide the required structural performance while supporting the hotel’s architectural and operational layouts.
Fabricated and Installed by Sotech Asia
The prefabricated structural components were fabricated, transported and installed by Sotech Asia.
Managing these activities internally gave Sotech Asia direct control over the complete prefabrication process, from production drawings to final installation.
This integrated process provided:
- Direct manufacturing oversight
- Consistent quality-control procedures
- Accurate coordination with construction drawings
- Improved production scheduling
- Efficient transportation planning
- Faster resolution of technical issues
- Reliable integration between components
- Close coordination with site-installation teams
Components were inspected before delivery to confirm compliance with the approved dimensions, technical details and project requirements.
Four-Elevator Installation
Each five-storey building was equipped with two elevators, providing a total of four elevators across the development.
Integrating the elevator systems required detailed coordination between the prefabricated structure, elevator shafts, electrical installations and surrounding architectural finishes.
Accurate shaft dimensions, structural openings and installation tolerances were essential to ensure that the elevator systems could be installed and operated correctly.
Providing two elevators in each building supports convenient movement for guests, staff and hotel operations.
Upper-Floor Swimming Pool
A distinctive feature of the Anda Beachside Hotel is its upper-floor swimming pool.
Positioning a swimming pool above ground level required careful structural and technical coordination. The supporting structure had to accommodate the pool’s permanent weight, water load and operational requirements.
The swimming-pool works required coordination of:
- Structural support
- Pool-shell construction
- Waterproofing systems
- Water circulation and filtration
- Supply and drainage services
- Electrical systems
- Access and surrounding finishes
- Maintenance requirements
Careful planning ensured that the swimming pool was successfully integrated into the hotel’s prefabricated structural design.
Complete Hotel Interior Works
Sotech Asia also completed all interior construction and finishing works, providing a fully integrated turnkey solution.
The interior scope covered the hotel’s guest rooms and common areas, with careful coordination between architectural finishes, electrical services, plumbing, air conditioning and fixed installations.
The interior works included:
- Guest-room finishes
- Bathrooms
- Internal walls and ceilings
- Floor and wall finishes
- Lighting and electrical coordination
- Air-conditioning integration
- Common-area finishes
- Doors and built-in elements
- Final detailing and quality inspections
Managing the structural, architectural and interior works under one construction programme helped maintain consistency throughout the completed hotel.
