HOW WE DO IT

We offer 1-hour of free consultation so that we can get a better sense of your project and vision and determine how we may be able to support you in achieving that vision and answer and answer any questions you may have about our offerings and how we work. These first discussions can be held in person at our office in Bali or over zoom.us.

If at the conclusion of our first discussion you feel that Alam Santi is a good match for your needs then we would welcome you to select one of our Alam Santi consulting packages, which provide flexible options designed to suit the needs of different types of projects and clients. Once your package is selected, invoiced, and paid for, you can start making use of on-call assistance from the Alam Santi team to deliver the outcomes needed for seeing your project through to success.

At our demonstration site in Bali we can take you on what we call our eco-tech tour, which is a great opportunity to directly interact with and experience the range of sustainability solutions that we have here at our office including: passive tropical design & construction materials and passive cooling systems; rainwater harvesting; filters for potable water on tap; water saving showers and toilets; cost-effective solar lighting systems and more.

Our team’s services are billed on based on monthly retainers, with work undertaken recorded in a cloud based timesheet that you can review at any time. Our senior consultants are billed at 100% rate and, and we also encourage use of our junior consultants - who are billed at 50% rate - as a cost saving option where the project's requirement is a match.

Any activities, events or sessions conducted outside of our demonstration site incur costs related to travel time (50% of the applicable consulting rate). For any travel beyond the Gianyar, Bali area, land, boat or flight travel costs, as well as accommodation and meals for the travel period are payable by the client. Once approved, these costs can be recorded on your Project's timesheet.

Payment of invoices is due prior to the commencement of work. If within a given month it looks like the hours included on your consulting package are close to being used up, you will be notified and asked if you wish to extend your retainer for that month. If so, an invoice will be sent to you for processing, after which services will resume.

When accredited sub contracted specialists such as architects, engineers, legal firms, public notaries, tax consultants etc. are needed this will involve establishing separate contracts that will be based on proposals from service providers / specialists. The Alam Santi team will support you in ensuring you receive the highest standard of services, and the best possible contract rates with these types of specialists, and if you wish, our team can help you ascertain quotations for specialist work prior to committing to additional services.

Training events can be billed using stardard Alam Santi team consulting rates and or for events with a minimum of 15 participants you may choose to make payment per participant. Alam Santi trainings are in-depth, capacity building events. Our goal is to ensure that you and your team are fully empowered with the information, tools, and contacts you need to ensure your project is a true success. We offer a wide range of sustainability and impact project related topics, which can be cherry picked and adapted to suit your specific project needs.

Alam Santi's dynamic eco-know how trainings have been adapted to suit the modern times, and are now also offered on an online zoom based format. Our clear visuals, guided lesson plans, online group work allow for effective remote training. Feel free to discuss your project's needs with our team so we can determine the ideal activity set to support your needs through online consulting and trainign events.
