Changing pre-conceived ideas about pre-fabricated buildings
Welcome to Tropical Buildings by PT Balegede Internasional- —we are a Bali-based construction company with an international reputation for pioneering prefabricated timber structures, custom roofing solutions, and building components shipped worldwide.
We combine traditional woodworking craftsmanship with cutting-edge prefabrication technology in Bali to deliver buildings of exceptional quality and soul.
Each piece is precision-engineered or hand-crafted in our workshop, then flat-packed and shipped worldwide for simple and seamless assembly.
We believe prefabrication isn't just faster — it’s smarter.
It reduces waste, minimizes disruption to natural sites, and ensures precise quality control every step of the way.
By building in a controlled environment, we optimize efficiency while preserving the integrity of each location, we are able to tailor each project to suit the client and arcitects vision, and purpose. As innovators in prefabricated timber construction, we work closely with architects, developers, and dreamers—transforming design concepts into tailor-made, off-the-plan prefabricated structures that meet local regulations and global standards. Every project uses responsibly sourced, government-approved timber and reflects our commitment to sustainable building practices.
Since 1997, Tropical Buildings has successfully completed over 40 projects on all continents of the world. Reknown for our reliability, quality finishes, and commitment to meet deadlines, Tropical Buildings has become a trusted partner for projects around the world.

​Bespoke Roofing
Residences
We believe that the roof is often the most striking feature of a structure.
Our specialization lies in the design, creation, and construction of bespoke roofs that add that unique, spectacular touch to every building. Whether it’s part of a complete design or a standalone addition to an existing structure, we’re ready to bring any vision of a roof line to life.
From swooping lines that seem to reach the sky to graceful flowing shapes and more traditional styles, we can construct any roof you imagine. No challenge is too big, we love to innovate with you and push the boundaries of design.

While we work closely with architects and their clients all over the world, we also offer a range of pre-designed structures based in collaboration with award-winning
architects Bush Pavilions, and they have developed a collection of designs that can be adapted for a wide variety of needs.
Our team includes draftsmen who specialize in developing workshop drawings, as well as creating detailed 3D construction manuals and as-built drawings.
This allows us to convert your vision into a tangible, precisely engineered structure.

Let's get ethical.
Since our founding, Tropical Buildings by PT Baligede Internasional has been committed to meeting the growing need and demand for sustainable architecture and renewable resources. We focus on using materials that have not only stood the test of time but also contribute to reducing the impact on our natural resources.
We exclusively use high-strength, clear-grained hardwood timbers sourced from ethically managed forests. The lifespan of our structures is up to five times longer than the time it takes to regrow the trees from which the timber is harvested. This means that the carbon stored in our construction timber is permanently locked in, contributing to the fight against climate change.
To further reduce our carbon footprint, we convert timber offcuts into charcoal, which we then mix with organic compost to create Biochar. This process sequesters carbon for thousands of years and helps mitigate global warming. We supply this Biochar to local farms in Bali, helping to sustain the environment in multiple ways.
The timbers we use generally are Bangkirai and Merbau from well-managed, legal sources. and they are termite resistant.
​We have a license from the Indonesian Government that we use to export timber. This is known as SVLK and ensures that all our timber is from forests that are audited by the Government.
The entire Chain of Custody is monitored carefully and we are audited, as is everyone in the supply chain, to ensure complicity with the very strict rules.
