pollyanna wroteSpicy, the quotes we got were from 350.000 m2 to 450.000m2. That, of course, is for the actual construction, not materials and supplies. We are providing all of those. The builder tells us what he needs and we provide it. This means we have a lot of control over costs while still getting a quality house but it also means that we are involved daily in watching what goes on. We do have an Indonesian project manager and he is invaluable, not only for language translation, but also because we trust him and he understands what needs to be done to have a good quality home.
The builder we're using is charging 350.000m2 and I doubt you'd find cheaper for good quality. Before choosing him we watched a home he's building under construction and feel confident that we'll be happy with the result.
@Hermit, thanks for the advice about the Toto taps. That makes sense. We're heading south on Friday to make some decisions about taps 'n' stuff. If anyone can tell us where the biggest range of Toto can be found I'd be grateful.
Polly , i am very surprised about the price/m2 you said ! So , the difference between a fully-furnished home ( I mean with floor , sanitary , tiles...not furniture ) and an unfurnished seems to be 1:10 !!! When I was searching which would be a reasonable average / m2 , my mind was figuring out only a unfinished house , and 5Juta seemed to me to be an affordable price ! Of course , I was just checking on the internet , do not have a land yet .
Now you posted a very very low price ( I consider it as a starting point , I know the differences could be between project such as sizes , planimetry , how far and how hard is getting the location...) , but this is making me stronger in my plans !!!:icon_lol:
Can you provide us any pic of the construction ? Do you write on-line any diary of your path ?
