Unclear Pricing
It can be difficult to know whether a contractor quotation reflects the actual drawings, specifications, and scope.

WHY AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW
Construction decisions shouldn’t rely on guesswork.
Quantity & Rate Differences
Differences in measured quantities or unit rates can materially affect the total project cost.

FAQ
Common questions from villa owners.
Are you a contractor?
No. Genevera Advisory provides independent owner-side construction cost advice. We do not earn construction margins, material sales income, or contractor commissions from the projects we review.
Can you review a contractor quotation I already received?
Yes. A contractor quotation, BOQ, drawings, and specifications can be reviewed to identify material quantity, rate, scope, and commercial differences.
Do I need complete drawings?
Complete drawings provide the strongest basis for a detailed review. Where information is incomplete, we identify the limitations and advise what can reasonably be assessed.
Can you review a project already under construction?
Yes. Progress and payment reviews can compare contractor claims against verified completed works and help the owner understand an appropriate payment position.
Can you assess an unfinished or stopped project?
Yes. A Project Rescue Assessment can reconstruct completed work value, payments made, remaining scope, and an estimated cost-to-complete.
Do I need to be in Bali?
No. The service is designed to support owners who may be based overseas. Project documents and reports can be handled digitally, with site assessment arranged where required.
