Bhumikarsa

We build the building, then install the systems that make it work.

Bhumikarsa is a general contractor and MEP contractor based in Indonesia. We deliver civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing works on a single programme, through testing, commissioning and handover.

Scope of work

The two lines of work can be engaged separately. If you already have a main contractor, we come in as the MEP contractor. If you don't, we deliver both under one contract.

SNI are Indonesian national standards. References follow each project's specification and requirements.

When both are engaged together, MEP sleeves, shaft openings and cast-in items are coordinated on the drawings before the pour. No walls or slabs need to be broken open later.

About us

bhu·mi·kar·sa
from Sanskrit
  1. bhumi: earth, ground, land
  2. karsa: will, initiative; the third of cipta, rasa and karsa (idea, feeling and will) in Javanese thought

All of our work starts in the ground: site survey, earthworks, foundations. And we only consider a job finished when the building stands, its systems are running, and the owner can use it.

Between the two is karsa, the will to see it through. In the idea of cipta, rasa and karsa, the concept comes from the designers and the judgement is made with the client. Our part is the third: getting it built.

Vision
To be the general and MEP contractor trusted to turn plans into buildings that stand on solid ground and work as intended, across Indonesia.

Mission from bhumi

  1. 1Understand the site, the ground conditions and the documents before work begins.
  2. 2Build to the drawings and specifications, with quality that is tested and recorded.
  3. 3Keep workers safe, and manage waste, dust and water around every site.

Mission from karsa

  1. 4Test every MEP system until the building owner can operate it.
  2. 5Raise problems early, with a proposed fix, so that programme and cost stay under control.
