A built-to-order villa costs less per square metre than a resale, fits your budget and yield target exactly, and comes with a developer who is still on the phone after handover. Tell us your plot, your budget, or just your idea.

Why Build With Frigate
There are 300+ agencies reselling villas on Bali. Only a builder controls the price, the quality and the deadline — because the builder is the one holding the trowel.
One Team, Land to Keys
Design, permits (PBG/SLF), construction, interiors and landscaping handled by our own staff. No subcontractor chain to pass the blame down.
Fixed-Price Contract
An itemised estimate signed before the first concrete pour. The price you agree is the price you pay — no end-of-project surprises.
Own Crew, Real Accountability
100+ workers and 10+ site foremen on staff. When a problem surfaces on site, the company that built it is the company that fixes it.
Built for Yield
We design layouts around occupancy, not just aesthetics — informed by 8 years of real rental data from villas we manage.
Documented Every Week
Weekly photo and progress reports with budget tracking. You always know where the build stands and where your money went.
Legal Structure Included
Leasehold, HGB or PT PMA — notarial contracts and Indonesian tax handled by people who work inside that law every day.

Transparent Pricing
What Your Build Costs
Construction is priced per square metre by finish level. Every tier is a full turnkey scope — design, permits, build and handover. Land is separate; we help you find and verify it.

Before You Ask
Turnkey Construction — FAQ
The questions every owner asks before they commit to building. If yours isn't here, message us — the answer takes minutes.
What does $990/m² actually include?
The Essential tier covers a full turnkey scope: architectural design, PBG/SLF permits, the complete structural build and rental-ready finishes. Land, furniture and pool are quoted separately so you see exactly what each item costs.
How long does it take to build a villa?
A typical two-bedroom villa is designed, permitted and built in 8–12 months. The timeline is fixed in your contract before construction starts, and weekly reports show you whether the project is on schedule.
Can I build on land I already own?
Yes. Send us the title documents and we will verify zoning and buildability before we quote. If you don't have land yet, our team finds and fully checks plots that match your budget and rental goals.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes — the itemised estimate is signed before the first concrete pour and becomes a fixed-price contract. The only changes are ones you request and approve in writing. No end-of-project surprises.
What return can I expect from a built-to-order villa?
Villas we manage deliver a verified 7–9% net annual yield, backed by 8 years of real occupancy data. Because we design layouts around rental demand, a built villa typically outperforms a comparable resale.
Why build instead of buying a finished villa?
A built-to-order villa costs less per square metre, matches your budget and yield target exactly, and gives you full control of materials and layout. And you deal with the company that built it — not a broker who collected a commission and moved on.
