New houses
One to three storeys, from a foundation on an empty plot to a house you can move into. Architect's drawings if you have them, or we will introduce two we work with regularly.

You get a bill of quantities, not a single number.
Every quote we issue is itemised line by line — materials, quantities, unit prices, labour — so you can hand it to another builder and compare like for like. That is unusual, and it is the reason to talk to us.
- Paid by completed stage, never in advance of work done
- Photographs and a cost report every Friday, whether or not you ask
- Three sites at a time, so nobody's project is the one being neglected

Why itemised
A single number cannot be checked, and it is meant not to be.
"Rp 1,8 miliar, turnkey" tells you nothing about what happens when the ground turns out to be soft, or what grade of tile you are getting, or where the money goes if you delete the carport. A bill of quantities tells you all three before you sign.
It also makes us easy to undercut, because a competitor can read our numbers. We publish it anyway — the clients who compare properly are the clients we want.
What we build
Three things, at published rates per square metre.
Per-m² rates are how this industry quotes and how you should compare. They are a starting point, not a price — the estimator explains what moves them.
Renovation & extension
Adding a floor, opening up a ground floor, replacing a roof structure. Harder than new build and priced accordingly, because the surprises are inside the walls.
From Rp 3.400.000 / m²Plus a Rp 4.500.000 survey, deducted if we buildSmall commercial
Shops, clinics, offices and workshops up to about 800 m². Fit-out included, with the mechanical and electrical drawn before anything is built rather than after.

Payment
Five stages, and none of them is "on signing".
Each payment is released after the stage is finished and you have seen it. The first money moves once the foundation is in the ground, not before.

Handover + snags
Released thirty days after handover, once the snag list is closed.
The last ten per cent is the one that matters. A contractor paid in full at handover has no reason to come back for a door that sticks — holding it for thirty days costs us nothing if we did the job properly, and it is why our snag lists get finished.

Recent work
Three, with the real numbers.
Area, cost, weeks on site, and whether it landed on the quote. Full case studies — including the one that overran by fourteen weeks — are on the projects page.
Two-storey house, Dago
Sloping site with a retaining wall on two sides, which took eleven weeks before anything above ground began.
Rp 1,04 miliar · 46 weeks · quoted Rp 1,02 miliar
Shophouse renovation, Cihampelas
Ground floor opened up and a floor added. The existing columns were not where the old drawings said, which is normal.
Rp 612 juta · 28 weeks · quoted Rp 590 juta
Clinic fit-out, Setiabudi
Ran fourteen weeks over because of a change of use permit nobody had checked. Our fault for not checking it.
Rp 948 juta · 52 weeks · quoted 38 weeks
Clients
Including the one who took our quote elsewhere.
“The bill of quantities was forty-one pages. I took it to two other contractors and one of them told me they could not price against it because it was too detailed. That told me everything.”
Pak Ardiansyah · house, Dago
“They came in second on price and we used them anyway, because the cheaper quote was one page and would not say what grade of tile it meant. The final bill was two per cent over.”
Ibu Cahyani · shophouse, Cihampelas
“Fourteen weeks late on a permit they should have checked. They told us in week six rather than week thirty and did not charge the extension. I would use them again — I just wanted that in writing.”

Start with the estimator, then the site visit.
The estimator gives you an order of magnitude in two minutes and tells you what would move it. The site visit is free, takes about ninety minutes, and produces an itemised written quote within five working days.
