Construction and engineering consulting covers the technical side of a hotel project: the building systems, the cost plan, the schedule and the safety of the works. Dijiwa Asia provides this service for hotel, resort and villa developments in Bali and across Indonesia. The aim is a project that is structurally sound, energy-efficient and cost-effective, with technical decisions made early rather than corrected late.
Who this service is for
This service is for developers who are building or renovating a hospitality property and want technical oversight alongside the design team. It suits owners who are unfamiliar with construction and need someone to check costs, schedules and systems.
It also suits owners of operating properties who need a review of maintenance, safety or energy performance. Owners comparing options can read MEP Services in Bali for Hotels and Villas for the process and cost factors.
What is included
We work closely with trusted engineers, surveyors and contractors. The scope of services covers five areas.
- Quantity surveying and construction supervision: measuring and costing the materials and work in the project, and supervising the works on site.
- Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems design: the air conditioning and ventilation, power, lighting circuits, water supply and drainage that a building needs to run.
- Project scheduling and budget control: a construction timeline and a cost plan, tracked so that deviations are seen early.
- Value engineering and cost optimization: reviewing specifications to find lower-cost options that keep the intended performance.
- Safety, maintenance, and sustainability audits: structured reviews of site safety, maintenance practice and environmental performance.
How we work with owners
We coordinate design and construction through a network of trusted specialists, including MEP consultants and construction companies, and we provide operational input throughout. Major capital improvements and renovations require owner approval and funding.
At corporate level, Dijiwa has dedicated directors for operations, revenue management, sales, marketing, finance, culinary, HR and technical services.
For capital improvements we prepare capital expenditure plans with cost-benefit analysis and ROI projections for owner review. Approved projects are implemented with our network of design and construction specialists.
Planning for the whole project is covered in Hotel Design & Development.
Frequently asked questions
What is your role in the development process?
We act as strategic partner and project facilitator. We do not execute construction directly. We coordinate with specialized firms and provide operational input, which helps owners avoid costly mistakes and make decisions that support long-term profitability.
What due diligence do you conduct on existing properties?
For properties joining Dijiwa Sanctuaries, due diligence includes engineering and property condition reports, alongside financial statements, market studies and a review of permits and licensing documents.
How are capital improvements and renovations handled?
They require owner approval and funding. We prepare capital expenditure plans with cost-benefit analysis and ROI projections. FF&E replacement reserves are typically funded from operations on an agreed schedule, usually 3-5% of revenue.
How does sustainability affect the technical side of a project?
Sustainability guides every operational decision. Under the development pillar, that means environmentally friendly design, local materials, energy efficiency and waste management, which also reduces costs.
