What would be the best place in the world to build a wooden boat from
the ground up?

Money is always an issue, but I'm also looking for a professional
boatyard that can make the right job, since the hull is going to have
an aluminum structure inside a composite sandwich filled with
polyuretane.

Many years ago, Malaysia and thereabouts used to have a few cheap and
proficient boatyards.

Many Thanks

You need to be a little more specific. A wooden boat with an aluminum
structure inside a composite sandwich filled with polyuretane? What
size? Length, breadth, depth, displacement, sail or power?
A sailing catamaran.
28 ft or so
No plans yet, all in my head.
It has a retractable water-filled keel to be used in storm situations.
The purpose of the composite sandwich filled with polyurethane is to
make unsinkable, just as the Etap sailing boats are.
The aluminum structure inside perhaps not a good idea after all, but I
have to find a way to make it unbreakable or that at least that it
doesn't break in many pieces if it comes to the worst. (The worst
being a large ship running onto her or a coral reef ripping the hull).

Do you expect the yard to be proficient in all these materials or will
there be a project engineer to supervise and manage the various parts
of the project?

I'll be supervising the project myself.
It couldn't be any other way, even if you get me the best engineer in
the world.
