Full Villa Renovation in Bali

What a Full Renovation Covers

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.

A Typical Full Renovation Schedule

For a standard 2–4 bedroom villa, a full renovation usually runs 3–6 months from first drawing to handover. A typical sequence:

• Design and quote (1–4 weeks): walkthrough, measured survey, options at three budget levels, fixed scope and price. If layout or structure changes, the PBG update runs in parallel (3–12 weeks).
• Demolition and structure (1–4 weeks): strip-out, structural repairs, new openings and roof works while the weather allows.
• Services and wet areas (1–3 weeks): electrics, plumbing, screeds to falls, membranes and flood tests.
• Finishes (3–8 weeks): floors, tiling, joinery, kitchen, painting, glazing and outdoor works.
• Snagging and handover (1 week): written snag list, final clean, warranties and an as-built file.

Renovating With Guests Booked: How We Phase the Work

Most owners we work with rent their villa, so the real question is not “how long” but “how many nights do we lose”. Send the booking calendar with your quote request and we plan backwards from the next check-in. Work that makes dust and noise — strip-outs, screeds, tiling — is grouped into the longest vacant block; quieter work such as painting, joinery installation and planting fills shorter gaps. Where the villa has separate wings, one wing stays rentable behind dust barriers while we work in the other. Every phase ends with a clean and an airing day, so the next guests do not walk into paint smell, and your villa manager gets a photo report before each check-in.

A full gut renovation still needs the villa empty; cosmetic and room-by-room scopes usually do not. We tell you which case yours is at the first walkthrough.

Floor Replacement During a Renovation

Floors are replaced in almost every full renovation, and the failures we find are nearly always under the surface: tiles laid on a poor or unsealed bed that now sound hollow and lift at the edges, stone stained by ground moisture, timber cupped over a damp slab. So the floor goes back from the slab up. We check that the slab is level and sound, correct it with screed or self-levelling compound where needed (from IDR 165,000 per m²), seal it against rising damp, and only then lay the finish you choose — local stone, terrazzo, micro-cement, porcelain or engineered timber — with the adhesive and grout suited to wet areas or living rooms. Floors go in after the wet trades and before the final paint, so they are laid once and protected until handover.

What a Full Renovation Costs in Bali

As a working guide, a cosmetic refresh of a 2-bedroom villa runs IDR 300–480 million, a mid-level renovation with new wet areas and kitchen IDR 600 million–1.1 billion, and a full gut-and-rebuild with structural changes IDR 1.45 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.
