Hidden Costs in Bali Villa Construction and How to Budget for Them

The most frustrating experience for a property developer is receiving a low initial quote, only to face endless unexpected variation orders once construction is underway. Knowing where hidden costs hide is the key to accurate budgeting.

Common surprise expenses include site access preparation (building temporary bridges or roads for heavy material trucks), ground drainage and soil retaining walls on sloped sites, deep borehole drilling and filtration for clean water, and power connection upgrades with PLN.

KAY CONSTRUCTION prevents budget surprises by providing fully itemized Bill of Quantities (RAB). We conduct site soil inspections and utility audits during pre-construction to include all site prep work in the initial scope.
