Challenge 01
Opening before high season
Our answer
Fabrication reserved at order and shipping planned back from your opening date.
Industries · Hospitality & tourism
Steel frames that open before high season
Hotels, resorts, villas, beach clubs, restaurants and tourist attractions in Phuket, Samui, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Krabi and the North. Prefabricated steel that builds fast between seasons, survives sea air and ships to island and coastal sites.

Thai hospitality and tourism
Every month of delay is a lost season
Tourism is one of Thailand's largest industries. Beach destinations such as Phuket, Samui, Krabi, Pattaya and Hua Hin, and cultural centres like Chiang Mai, keep attracting new hotels, pool villas, beach clubs, restaurants and attractions.
Hospitality owners plan around the high season: a resort that misses it loses a year of revenue. Sites are often on islands, hillsides or beaches with limited access and salty air. Prefabricated steel shortens construction, reduces site work and, with the right coating, lasts in coastal conditions.
- Prefabricated frames that shorten time on site
- Coastal coating systems for sea-front buildings
- Light structures that reduce foundation work on hillsides
- Long spans for lobbies, ballrooms and restaurants

Does steel last near the sea?
Yes, with the right protection. We specify ISO 12944 C4–C5 coating systems or hot-dip galvanising for sea-front structures, and details that avoid water traps.
Can you deliver to an island?
Yes. We ship CIF to the nearest Thai port or DDP to site, with members sized for barges and local transport.
Have you built hospitality projects?
Our Thai projects include buildings in Phuket and Hat Yai, and our portfolio includes a hotel and a hot-spring resort in Vietnam.
Can steel be exposed as part of the architecture?
Yes. We detail exposed members, connections and finishes with your architect.
