Every earthworks trade a Bali build needs, from one crew with 6 own machines: excavation from IDR 95,000/m³, land clearing from 1,200,000/are, cut and fill, retaining walls, drainage, septic tanks, access roads and driveways.

Earthworks services and starting prices
Foundation excavation
Footings, strip foundations, basements and general dig-outs to engineer’s levels — machine plus hand-finishing, with soil hauled off the same day.
from IDR 95,000/m³
Land clearing
From overgrown paddy edge to buildable plot: vegetation, trees, roots and debris out — with the topsoil saved if you want it for the garden later.
from IDR 1,200,000/are
Site grading & cut and fill
Cut and fill balanced on-site so you pay for fewer trucks: building pads, terraces and driveways graded to the architect’s levels and compacted in layers.
from IDR 95,000/m³
Pool excavation
Pool pits cut to shotcrete tolerances: correct overdig for plumbing and formwork, stable walls, sump for the wet season, spoil trucked out through tight villa access.
from IDR 11,500,000/pool
Rock breaking (limestone)
Hydraulic breakers for the Bukit’s coral limestone: pools, footings and driveways cut into solid rock — priced honestly after a test dig, not guessed.
from IDR 380,000/m³
Retaining walls
Batu kali stone, reinforced concrete and gabion walls with proper footings, weep holes and backfill — built to hold Bali’s wet-season slopes, not just to look tidy.
from IDR 1,900,000/m³
Driveways
Concrete, paving-stone and gravel drives built on a compacted sub-base with drainage first.
from IDR 300,000/m² Drainage systems
French drains, U-ditches, soakaway pits and surface channels sized for tropical downpours — so December rain leaves your land instead of entering your villa.
from IDR 450,000/m
Utility trenching
Clean, straight trenches for PDAM and well lines, PLN cables, septic runs and fibre — correct depths, sand bedding, warning tape, and reinstated surfaces.
from IDR 120,000/m
Septic systems
Sized for real occupancy, not guesswork: excavation, concrete or bio septic tanks, soakaway fields and inspection covers — done before the landscaping, not after.
from IDR 15,000,000
Access roads
Temporary site roads over paddy mud and permanent gravel driveways: geotextile, sirtu base, compaction in layers — so concrete trucks reach your pour, every time.
from IDR 240,000/m²Looking for numbers first? See the 2026 price list or read the excavation cost guide. Working on a sloped or limestone plot? Start with building on a slope.
