In 2026, building a finished single-storey home with MEETS costs about Rp5 jt per m² (Standard package). The tables below use the same rates as our catalogue and calculator, so you can see what a type 36, a 2-storey home, or your own size would cost.
Cost per m² by package
| Package | Type 36 (1 storey) | 100 m² (1 storey) | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | Rp3,5 jt/m² | Rp3,5 jt/m² | Foundations, structure, walls, roof. No finishing. |
| Standard | Rp5 jt/m² | Rp5,1 jt/m² | Move-in ready, durable standard finishes. |
| Premium | Rp5,7 jt/m² | Rp5,9 jt/m² | Higher-grade roof covering and finishes. |

Per-m² cost is higher for small homes, because bathrooms, kitchen and services are shared over fewer square metres.
