Usually we charge based on square meters of design/building area. This cost is based on the maximum planning area that has been calculated from the start.

Does PROPER accept in-person meetings at the office?
We accept meetings by appointment at our office in Jakarta.
For meeting appointments, you can use the following link: CONTACT US
Does PROPER accept meetings at the Client's premises?
Our Architect team can accept meeting requests at the Client's place with additional travel costs (including the cost of air tickets and accommodation if outside the city/region).
For outside the city/region, the Client is required to pay the first stage DP and visit fees. To save costs, the Client does not actually need a meeting in person, it is enough to prepare accurate land data, accompanied by photos of the situation of the land and around the land.
Meetings can be replaced by means of Virtual Meetings (using Video Call and Team Viewer).
Does PROPER accept online/virtual meetings?
We are already familiar and often with the Online Meeting protocol, so we can complete various building designs throughout Indonesia without having to meet in person.
We take advantage of supporting technologies, such as Whatsapp Group, Team Viewer and Zoom Meeting.
Land measurement technology also supports GPS on theodolite tools, so Clients only need to look for land surveyor services (third parties) in each area to get accurate measurement results. The results of these measurements are then sent to our Architects via email for further review. With this land size/topography data, we can start the design process.
Clients can also take advantage of GPS technology on whatsapp (share location) and our Architects can use Google Maps and Googe Street view to conduct virtual surveys right in front of your land without having to be present in person.
Clients are facilitated with sophisticated 3D software design presentations to show the shape of the building as realistically and accurately as possible before it is built.
We also provide freedom of revision (plan revision), so you don't have to worry if you don't get the right concept, you can still revise it.
