Why Resort Woodwork and Furniture Should Come from One Factory

In short: Three reasons — the wood tone and the spec match, because everything comes from the same timber; one point of contact when the drawings change mid-job; and one delivery run instead of waiting for several suppliers to converge on site. WisutWood makes both the building's woodwork and the furniture inside it at one factory in Surat Thani. See our factory or get an estimate.

1. The wood tone and the spec match

Solid timber from different batches is never quite the same colour, and different factories use different coating systems. Where the floor, the walls, the counter and the furniture come from different places, the difference shows most at exactly the points where they meet. Ordering from one factory means the timber can be chosen from the same batch and coated in the same system from the start. Compare species in the wood species guide.

2. One point of contact when the drawings change

Almost every project changes its drawings part-way through. If the counter height changes, the shelving behind it and the wall panelling have to change with it. Talking to one team means the whole set is revised together, instead of chasing several suppliers and finding they each interpreted the change differently.

3. One delivery run, an easier site programme

Goods from several suppliers tend to arrive on different days, so the site ends up storing things it cannot install yet. Work from one factory can be sequenced to the site programme — which matters most for island jobs that have to be planned around the ferry.

4. The building kit and the furniture inside it

A resort ordering a structural timber kit can order the beds, wardrobes and poolside sets for the same buildings straight on. The same goes for a restaurant or café fit-out, where the floors, walls, counters, tables and chairs all come from the same timber.

One thing to be clear about

We manufacture and deliver only — no installation and no on-site finishing. Your project's own crew installs. Ordering from one factory helps with materials and timelines; it does not mean we take on the site work.

Frequently asked questions

Can't we just use separate suppliers for woodwork and furniture? You can, but accept that the wood tone and the coating system may not match, and that coordinating the timelines is then your job.

Can one factory really cover all of it? WisutWood makes everything from structural timber, flooring, wall cladding, ceilings, stairs, doors and windows through to the furniture in the room and beside the pool, at a single factory in Surat Thani.

Is there a charge if the drawings change mid-job? It depends on when and what changes. Our team always sets out the effect on price and schedule before anything is built to the new drawings.
