Can't help you with the construction issue, but have you looked at this thread re other hotels and guesthouses?

I can only suggest picking out the ones you like the look of and googling the website for further info. You are looking for a room in the busiest part of the season, so most of the best places are already taken.
Don't know your budget, but a couple of recommended ones spring to mind

Poppa Palace and Royal Phawadee. Its a longshot but maybe you can get fixed up at either of these

Royal Phawadee Village - Boutique Resort - Phuket, Thailand
