This month’s Coffee Morning focused on the intersection of innovative building systems and the human side of construction. Developers, architects, and entrepreneurs gathered at OXO The Factory to hear how modular housing and ethical labor standards can create a more resilient and responsible real estate industry in Bali.

Hosted at OXO The Factory, the HQ of leading design & development group OXO Real Estate, the event spotlighted two solutions-based entrepreneurs in Modular Living, Building & Ethical Working Conditions:

Guest Speakers:

Christian Andreas Venyi :

Founder, PT Wayan - in collaboration with Escape Nomade and La Casa Modular

Social, financial and environmental long-term benefits of modual living and building

Christian outlined the long-term social, financial, and environmental benefits of modular construction.From the insights shared:

Speed & Efficiency: modular homes are completed in weeks rather than years.
Cost & Quality Control: factory-built conditions ensure stable pricing and consistent standards.
Flexibility: units can be relocated, expanded, or customized, especially valuable on leased land.
Sustainability: modular methods use fewer resources, produce less waste, and result in a lower carbon footprint. No need to drill down to the earth across a large expanse !

His message was clear: build faster, smarter, and greener—without sacrificing design or comfort. Contact Christian here.

Adan Jauregui :

Co-Founder, Built Humanely, Wana Village

Ethical standards of food, water and shelter provision for builders

William and Adan introduced Built Humanely, a nonprofit certifying projects that meet ethical standards for construction workers in Bali.

Their work addresses urgent issues:

71% of surveyed workers lacked food security
77% lacked clean water
96% lacked beds
94% lacked health insurance

Built Humanely’s solutions start at just $14 per worker per month, covering:

Nutritious food (regenerative rice via Astungkara Way)
Potable water (ceramic filters via Terra Water)
Sanitary, breathable beds (via Honicel)
Mandatory health insurance (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan)

Beyond improving lives, ethical projects build trust with buyers and investors and ensure safer, faster, higher-quality developments. Contact Adan here.

Why It Matters:

Bali’s real estate boom often overlooks both environmental and human costs. This session reminded us that the future of development is not just eco-friendly buildings, but also ethical workplaces.

PT Wayan Modular proves sustainable construction can be more efficient and profitable in the long-run.
Built Humanely ensures that the hands building Bali’s future are cared for with dignity, for brands with integrity and initiative.

Together, these approaches pave the way for a regenerative, inclusive, and ethical real estate sector in Southeast Asia.
