Drawn as one house, handed over as one pack

The journey

Seven steps, each one signed off before the next

Every step updates the brief, the cost picture and the information the next step needs. Each ends with sheets you can hold and a decision that is yours.

  1. Villa design sketch drawn over a site plan

    A-000

    Brief and site

    The rooms, the style and the budget, written down. The plot is surveyed, the soil tested and the regulations read: KDB, KLB, GSB and zoning. An early budget estimate closes the step.

Curated architects

The right architect for the house, with one team around them

We match each project to an architect from our network: by portfolio and style, experience and the licensing the permits need. Then everyone knows whose decision is whose.

You, the owner

Approve the brief, each design stage, the budget and the final contractor. Every decision that shapes the house stays with you.

The architect

Matched to you and the project from our network. Keeps design authorship and prepares the permit drawings for the PBG.

BODE Design

Writes the brief and programme, coordinates every discipline, reviews each stage before sign-off and checks cost and buildability with the build team.

How you work with us

Questions owners ask before the first sketch

Short answers about architects, budgets, permits and the pack you receive. For anything else, write to the team directly.

What does BODE Design do?

BODE Design takes a project from the first sketch to a tender-ready pack: architecture, interior, landscape and engineering with licensed partners, a curated architect matched to the project, PBG permit drawings, construction documents, the RKS, a BOQ and an Owner's Estimate. A cost plan is updated at every stage.

Where does BODE Design work?

Anywhere in Indonesia. The team works from Sunset Bureau on Jl. Sunset Road No.88 in Seminyak, Bali, and takes on homes, villas, hospitality and commercial projects across the country.

What kinds of projects do you design?

Villas and private homes, complete renovations and extensions, and hospitality and commercial buildings. Each one is designed as a whole: the building, the rooms inside it and the garden around it.

Do I have to build with BODE Construction?

You choose. With Design only, the service is paid by stage and the tender-ready pack is yours to take to the market. With Design and Build, BODE Construction builds it under one contract, with one team and one point of contact from the first sketch to handover.

Who is the architect on my project?

We match the architect to the client and the project from our network, by portfolio and style, experience and licensing for permits. The architect keeps design authorship and prepares the PBG drawings. BODE Design writes the brief and programme, reviews every stage before sign-off and checks buildability and cost with the build team.

How do you keep the design on budget?

An early estimate closes the brief, a cost per square metre shapes the concept, and the cost plan is updated at every stage after that. The budget is checked before each sign-off, and an Owner's Estimate gives you a priced benchmark to measure every bid against.

What is a tender-ready pack?

The full set a builder needs to price the same building: construction drawings with a drawing register, the RKS with brands named, an unpriced BOQ, the final area schedule and the tender documents. Drawings, RKS, BOQ and areas all agree, so the bids can be compared like for like.

Do you handle the PBG building approval?

Yes. Licensed architects and engineers prepare the PBG drawings, structural calculations and MEP drawings and submit them through SIMBG. The SLF certificate of function follows once the building is complete.

Bring the plot and a list of rooms, and we will draw out the first step together.
