Who manages your project
THOMAS
Co-founder and operations director.
Over 20 years of experience in construction. French-speaking, he supervises each project on site and remains your point of contact through to handover.
SERGE
Sales manager.
French and English. Initial discussion, assessment of your request and arrangement of the site visit with Thomas.
WIDHIA
Architect.
Plans and project design aligned with your goals and the constraints of the villa.
How we work and what you pay
You sign one contract, with UPGRADE. We establish an overall project price covering plans, project management, supervision, advice and works.
The works are carried out by Indonesian companies selected for each project for their experience and value for money. We contract with them directly. The scope, price and payment schedule are fixed before works begin.
How you are protected
A written contract defines scope and price: UPGRADE manages the project and our partner companies carry out the works.
Payments follow progress: a 30–40% deposit at signing, followed by stage or monthly payments depending on project size, and a balance at handover.
Every change is priced and approved by you in writing before execution.
Thomas sends two reports each week: photos and site progress.
If an unexpected issue arises with the structure, utilities or administration, we explain it, price it and present the options before any decision.

How to get started
Describe your project on WhatsApp or through the form.
Serge calls you for 10–15 minutes to discuss the works, location, timeline and planned budget.
If the project fits our activity, Thomas visits your villa free of charge.
Project study and costing are free. Plans are included if you appoint us for the project; otherwise they are charged separately.
Contract, then works begin.
Our projects start at IDR 300 million (approximately €15,000) for a small renovation and go up to approximately IDR 5 billion (approximately €250,000) for a fully rebuilt 300 m² villa. For a rebuild: IDR 12–17 million/m² (approximately €600–850/m²). The exact budget depends on the project study.
