Sotech Asia was appointed as the main contractor for Intira Villas’ new 16-villa residential development in Phuket.
The completed development comprises a combination of two- and three-bedroom pool villas, each reflecting Intira Villas’ smart, contemporary and functional design philosophy.
As an experienced construction company Phuket developers rely on, Sotech Asia coordinated the villa construction, technical drawings, swimming pools and complete project infrastructure under one integrated construction programme.

Delivering the villas and infrastructure under one coordinated programme enabled Sotech Asia to manage construction interfaces and maintain consistent standards throughout the development.
Functional L-Shaped Villa Layouts
The two- and three-bedroom villas are arranged in an L-shaped configuration around private swimming pools.
This layout creates a strong connection between the internal living spaces, pool terraces and landscaped outdoor areas while helping maintain privacy between individual rooms.
Covered parking is positioned at the front of each property, providing convenient access to the main villa entrance.
The internal layouts include:
- Open-plan living areas
- Private swimming pools
- Covered outdoor spaces
- Master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms
- Secondary bedrooms positioned toward the rear
- Additional guest or shared bathrooms
- Covered parking at the front
- Practical circulation between indoor and outdoor areas
The L-shaped arrangement allows the principal living spaces and bedrooms to face the pool while creating a private central outdoor area.
Adaptable Two- and Three-Bedroom Designs
The development includes both two- and three-bedroom villa configurations.
The master bedroom in each villa has a private en-suite bathroom. Secondary bedrooms are generally positioned at the rear of the property and are supported by additional bathrooms.
Depending on the dimensions and shape of the individual plot, the third bedroom is positioned either:
- At the rear of the villa; or
- Adjacent to the main entrance
Adapting the bedroom position to each plot allowed the development to make efficient use of the available land while preserving privacy and maintaining a functional internal layout.
Private Swimming Pools
Each villa is centred around a private swimming pool that forms an important part of the property’s architectural concept.
The pool is visually connected to the villa’s main living spaces and contributes to the development’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Swimming-pool construction required coordination of:
- Pool-shell construction
- Waterproofing systems
- Water circulation and filtration
- Supply and drainage services
- Electrical installations
- Pool-deck finishes
- Access and maintenance requirements
- Integration with external landscaping
The completed pools provide each residence with a private recreational area suited to Phuket’s tropical climate.
Flat-Slab and Steel-Column Construction
The villas use a structural system combining flat concrete slabs with structural steel columns.
This approach supports clean architectural lines and flexible internal layouts while reducing the visual impact of conventional beams and larger concrete supports.
The structural system required careful coordination of:
- Slab thicknesses and reinforcement
- Steel-column positions
- Structural connections
- Roof loads
- Architectural layouts
- Building-service openings
- Construction sequencing
- Quality-control inspections
The completed system combines structural performance with the open, contemporary appearance of the villas.
Roofing and Waterproofing Systems
The development incorporates a combination of flat concrete roof sections and principal external roofs finished with imported asphalt shingles.
Flat concrete roof areas were protected with high-quality waterproofing membranes designed to provide durable resistance to Phuket’s intense rainfall.
The roofing works required careful attention to:
- Concrete roof falls
- Waterproofing preparation
- Membrane installation
- Rainwater outlets
- Flashing details
- Drainage connections
- Asphalt-shingle installation
- Junctions between different roof systems
- Final water-tightness inspections
Coordinating the roof and drainage systems was essential to achieving reliable long-term performance in Phuket’s tropical environment.
Q-Con Wall Construction
Internal and external walls were constructed using Q-Con lightweight concrete blocks, selected for their insulation properties and suitability for Thailand’s climate.
Q-Con wall construction can provide several advantages:
- Improved thermal insulation
- Reduced heat transfer
- Better indoor comfort
- Lower structural dead load
- Accurate wall construction
- Good compatibility with architectural finishes
- Support for improved energy efficiency
Together with the roof insulation, glazing and air-conditioning systems, the Q-Con walls contribute to comfortable internal conditions throughout the villas.
Fully Air-Conditioned Villas
All 16 villas are fully air-conditioned to provide year-round comfort.
The air-conditioning installations were coordinated with the architectural layouts, electrical systems, drainage and ceiling details.
Careful positioning of indoor and outdoor equipment helped maintain the clean appearance of the villas while allowing suitable access for future servicing and maintenance.
Complete Project Infrastructure
In addition to constructing the villas, Sotech Asia designed and completed the development’s principal infrastructure.
The infrastructure works included:
- Main access road
- Internal vehicle circulation
- Comprehensive stormwater drainage
- Connections serving individual villas
- Utility coordination
- Site levels and drainage falls
- Integration with villa entrances and covered parking
Drainage design was particularly important because of Phuket’s seasonal heavy rainfall. Site levels, road falls, collection points and discharge routes had to be carefully coordinated across the development.
Completing the villas and infrastructure under the same construction programme helped ensure reliable integration between the buildings, roads and drainage systems.
In-House Construction and As-Built Drawings
All construction drawings and as-built documentation were prepared by Sotech Asia’s in-house architectural and engineering team.
The documentation process included:
- Architectural construction drawings
- Structural coordination
- Shop drawings
- Roof and waterproofing details
- Building-services coordination
- Infrastructure drawings
- Drainage details
- Final as-built documentation
Producing these documents in-house allowed technical matters to be resolved efficiently and ensured that completed construction details were accurately recorded.
