Full Villa Renovation in a Bali villa

A full villa renovation is the job everything else on this site rolls up into — and the one where having a single team that owns design, structure, waterproofing and finishes actually saves you money. The classic Bali horror story is a renovation run by five disconnected subcontractors where nobody is responsible for the whole, the bathroom floods the bedroom below, and the budget doubles. We run full renovations the opposite way: one scope, one price, one person accountable from demolition to handover.

What a Full Renovation Covers

Design & Layout

Opening up living spaces, reconfiguring bedrooms, adding bathrooms or a second storey — drawn up with a local architect before a wall moves.

Structure & Services

Foundations, beams, new electrical and plumbing rough-in, water tanks and pumps brought up to a standard that actually lasts in the tropics.

Wet Areas & Waterproofing

Every bathroom and roof terrace re-membraned and flood-tested — the single most important spend in any Bali renovation.

Finishes & Joinery

Flooring, custom kitchen and wardrobes, painting, doors, glazing and the outdoor living spaces that make a Bali villa.

How a Full Villa Renovation Runs

  1. Walkthrough & brief

    We visit, measure and listen to what you want the villa to become — then come back with options at three budget levels.

  2. Design, drawings & permits

    Architectural drawings and, where structure or footprint changes, the PBG building approval. Like-for-like work skips this stage.

  3. Fixed scope & price

    A line-by-line scope and a fixed contract price with a payment schedule tied to milestones, not the calendar.

  4. Build & weekly reporting

    Demolition, structure, services, waterproofing, finishes — in sequence, with weekly photo reports and a transparent variation process if hidden issues appear.

  5. Snagging & handover

    We walk the villa with you, fix every snag on a written list, and hand over with warranties and an as-built file.

What a Full Renovation Costs in Bali

As a working guide, a cosmetic refresh of a 2-bedroom villa runs IDR 150–350 million, a mid-level renovation with new wet areas and kitchen IDR 400–900 million, and a full gut-and-rebuild with structural changes IDR 1.2 billion and up. Finishes drive the spread far more than floor area. Full ranges are on the pricing page, and most full renovations take 3–6 months from first drawing to handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full villa renovation take?
Typically 3–6 months from first drawings to handover for a standard 2–4 bedroom villa, including design and permits. Structural work and tropical drying times for waterproofing and screed set the floor — they cannot safely be compressed.
Do you handle the design and architect?
Yes. We work with local architects and bring you drawings before anything is committed. You can also come to us with your own architect's plans and we build to them.
Will I need a building permit (PBG)?
If you change the structure, footprint or add a storey, yes — and we handle the PBG process for you. A renovation that stays inside the existing walls and roofline usually needs no permit, and we will tell you honestly which applies.
How are payments structured?
Against milestones — a deposit to mobilise, then staged payments as demolition, structure, wet areas and finishes complete. You never pay far ahead of the work on the ground.
