An Owner's Representative is your person on the construction site: they follow the build, ask the contractors for supporting documents and look after your interests, from the off-plan purchase to the handover in Thailand.
You are buying a new development in Phuket from abroad. Reservation contract, payment schedule, delivery calendar: we go through the points to watch with you before you sign, then follow the progress of the build.
What we help you avoid: Delivery delays, payments unrelated to progress, gaps between the brochure and what is built.
You are building a villa in Phuket. We help you compare quotes and bills of quantities (BoQ), frame the contract with the contractor and follow the build: meetings, schedule and photo reports.
What we help you avoid: Quotes that cannot be compared, repeated variations, a site that drifts without you knowing.
Your villa or apartment is delivered. We organise the handover with you: snagging list, follow-up of corrections and the completion file.
What we help you avoid: Forgotten defects, poorly documented warranties, a file nobody can find on resale day.
Technical review of the property, the plot and the project: points to watch and questions to put to the developer or seller, before you commit.
An annotated review of the contract and the BoQ with you and your lawyer: scope, payment schedule, deadlines, penalties, warranties.
Offers compared on the same scope and an audit of the contractors consulted: references, resources, insurance. A written recommendation.
Site visits, meetings, schedule follow-up and requests for supporting documents from contractors and inspection bodies. You receive photo reports you can read remotely.
Handover with a snagging list, follow-up of corrections and a digital book: plans, contracts, insurance, engineering sign-offs and a maintenance plan.

Buy a villa or apartment in Phuket, Thailand: new, off-plan or resale, with support from viewing to handover.
See properties for saleWe do not replace the contractor, the inspection body or your lawyer. Contractors, engineers and inspection bodies carry out, check and sign the technical checks. Our role: ask for the supporting documents, follow the schedule, alert you and advise you. Legal questions (land ownership, leasehold, Thai company) are for your independent lawyer, with whom we coordinate.
A construction professional who represents the owner, and only the owner, during a project. In Phuket, they follow the build for you, ask contractors for supporting documents and advise you, from the off-plan purchase to the handover. In France the closest equivalent is assistance à maîtrise d'ouvrage (AMO).
Because their team works for them. An independent representative is paid only by you: they have no interest in the build finishing fast or cheap at the expense of quality.
Yes, it is very common. The main risk is seeing nothing between signing and delivery. Remote follow-up, with photo reports and a contact on site, fills that gap.
Ideally before you sign: reviewing the contract and the payment schedule before you commit changes the most. We also step in during the build, or only at handover.
We do not certify anything and we do not sign technical checks: contractors and inspection bodies check and sign. We ask for the supporting documents, follow their delivery, flag gaps and advise you.
It is the list of defects drawn up at handover: finishing faults, missing items, equipment to adjust. It is recorded before you accept the keys or pay the balance, then the corrections are followed up.
It depends on the size of the project, its length and the stages you want covered. After a first conversation we send you a clear quote with no commitment.
That is a legal question (land ownership, lease, Thai company) for your independent lawyer. We do not give legal advice; we coordinate with your lawyer so the technical project fits the structure.
PA Real Estate takes over: sale, long-term or short-stay letting, management and upkeep of your property in Phuket.
