MEP prices in Bali 2026: honest ranges and what they include
Indicative ranges in IDR, without VAT, anchored to public 2025-2026 market prices in Bali and Indonesia. The exact figure comes after a free survey, because two kitchens of the same size can need very different systems.
- Survey and estimate: free, on request
- Ranges exclude VAT (PPN)
- Items marked * are our estimates built from sourced component prices
Design
Design is a small share of the project and the step that saves the most. Fees depend on area and complexity.

|---|---|---|
| MEP design in Revit (BIM) All systems coordinated, drawings, quantities | Rp 60–150 thousand * | per m² of floor area |
Kitchen exhaust

| Item | Indicative range, IDR | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen exhaust, café Hood up to 2 m, duct, fan, make-up air, balancing | Rp 10–25 million * | per system |

| Ceiling cassette, installed | Rp 5–8 million * | per PK |

Benchmarks per m²
Useful for a first budget of a whole project, before any design.
| Item | Indicative range, IDR | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant MEP fit-out, benchmark | Rp 600 thousand – 1.4 million * | per m², excl. kitchen equipment |
| Hotel M&E, benchmark (Jakarta, Arcadis 2026) | Rp 3.4–4.4 million | per m², excl. lifts |
* our estimate. Hotel benchmark: Arcadis Construction Cost Handbook 2026 (Jakarta), net of VAT.
What moves the price
- Cooking duty. Charcoal, woks and charbroilers need much more exhaust than ovens and steamers.
- Duct route. A short vertical run to the roof costs a fraction of a long horizontal route through finished ceilings.
- Location. Coastal sites need stainless or protected materials outdoors.
- Stage. Designing before construction is cheaper than rebuilding ceilings after it.
- Access and hours. Night work in an operating venue costs more than a site under construction.
Utility costs you should know
PLN business tariff B-2 (6,600 VA to 200 kVA) is Rp 1,444.70 per kWh; B-3 (above 200 kVA, medium voltage) is Rp 1,035.78 per kWh off-peak, with peak hours charged at a multiple of 1.4 to 2 (PLN, Q3 2026, reviewed every quarter). The PLN connection or upgrade fee is Rp 969 per VA up to 100 kVA and Rp 775 per VA from 100 to 200 kVA (Permen ESDM 27/2017). Over-sizing is not free either: a postpaid B-2 connection pays a monthly minimum of 40 hours × connected kVA × tariff. Under-sizing costs you every busy evening.
Labour in Bali
The 2026 minimum wage in Badung is Rp 3,791,002 per month and in Denpasar Rp 3,499,878 (Governor's decree 1021/03-M/HK/2025). On a typical installed duct, labour is roughly a quarter of the price; on an installed split AC it is a small share. Most of the cost is equipment and materials, which is why the right sizing matters more than the day rate.

Questions owners ask us
Are these prices final?
No. They are indicative ranges; the final quote follows the survey and the design.
Is VAT included?
No, the ranges exclude VAT (PPN).
Why is your exhaust price higher than a hood-and-fan package?
Because it includes make-up air, balancing and commissioning, the parts that stop smoke reaching the dining room.
Do prices include commissioning?
For systems we install, yes: commissioning and balancing are part of the installation price.
Describe the task, we answer on WhatsApp
Two ways to reach an engineer. Either one lands in the same WhatsApp chat.

A new restaurant, a kitchen that smokes, a hotel that needs air conditioning, a villa complex at design stage: a few lines are enough to start.
