Bali
A Bali villa budget is rarely controlled by one rate per square meter. Soil, access, waterproofing, MEP scope, ventilation, air-conditioning, pool design, and finish level all combine into the final number. This guide gives a practical planning band and shows which product pages should be checked before you treat the budget as reliable.
Ranges are not a contractor quote and must be checked against design, site data and local bids.
Open the calculator with the guide assumptions prefilled, then adjust area, site conditions, MEP level and pool scope for your project.
| Scenario | Area / basis | Specification | Planning range | Unit range | Important note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compact private villa | 150 m² | Simple geometry, standard finishes, split AC, exhaust ventilation, no complex pool edge. | IDR 1.35B-2.55B | IDR 9.0M-17.0M / m² | Useful as a sanity check before detailed drawings. |
| Rental villa with pool | 300 m² + pool | Standard engineering, stronger waterproofing control, pool works, exterior drainage, higher service load. | IDR 2.85B-5.70B | IDR 9.5M-19.0M / m² | Pool, wet areas, and drainage usually decide whether the estimate stays stable. |
| Premium villa | 500 m² + pool | Premium finishes, ducted AC or mixed HVAC, larger glazing, service access, commissioning scope. | IDR 5.50B-11.50B | IDR 11.0M-23.0M / m² | Late design changes in MEP and finishes can move this range quickly. |
Use the low side only when the project has simple geometry, confirmed soil, easy site access, and a restrained finish specification.
Use the upper side when the villa has premium finishes, complex roofs, large glazing, ducted AC, ERV/HRV, pool equipment, or difficult logistics.
After the first estimate, open the connected checklists and mistake-cost pages for foundation, waterproofing, MEP, finishing, and pool work. Those stages usually create the biggest hidden overruns.
The cost guide is useful only when it is tied back to stage pages, checklists, mistakes, and the work sequence for execution control.
A planning quantity of material expected per unit of work, such as kg per m², m³ per m² or linear meters per room.
Logistic difficulty of delivering labor and materials.
Fan-assisted supply or extract air system used when natural airflow is not enough.
Cooling system with separated indoor and outdoor units connected by refrigerant and drain lines.
The planned order in which construction activities are executed so each trade has the right access, information and inspection status.
No. A per-m2 rate is useful for a first feasibility screen, but the real budget should be checked by stage because MEP, waterproofing, pool works, and site conditions do not scale evenly with area.
Foundation and MEP are the most common early surprises; waterproofing and finishes often become expensive later when mistakes are hidden behind completed work.
