BSPS Builder Wages: Rp2.5 Million per Home as Regions Hunt for Tukang

印尼翻修援助工匠工资每户250万盾，多地急需数千名工匠

BSPS builder wages in Indonesia's 2026 self-help housing stimulus programme (Bantuan Stimulan Perumahan Swadaya) are set at Rp2.5 million per home, part of Rp20 million in aid per house, Bisnis.com reported on 1 November 2026. With 400,000 homes targeted this year, the biggest challenge is not only materials but finding enough tukang (builders) to work at the same time before the late-December deadline.

Key Facts

How BSPS builder wages are structured in 2026

Of the Rp20 million per home, the larger share of Rp17.5 million goes to building materials and Rp2.5 million to builder wages. A payout in Madiun shows wages are paid in stages: stage I of Rp1,250,000 per recipient was disbursed on 28 October 2026, half of the wage allocation. Staged payments tie builders' pay to work progress.

The programme has also widened. According to Bisnis.com, renters, especially in Jakarta, can now take part if the owner agrees to let them stay three years with no rent increase. Housing minister Maruarar Sirait called the last two months of the year a period of hard work to reach the target.

Regions short of builders

Jumping from 45,000 to 400,000 homes means the need for builders rises sharply in a short time. In the Riau Islands, 3,804 homes require about 7,608 builders, roughly two per house, plus 154 facilitators. Moving workers between islands is difficult, and the rainy season starts in November while physical work must finish by 31 December 2026.

At a coordination meeting on 13 October, the housing ministry named labour availability as one of the obstacles. Bandung Regency, with 3,047 homes allocated, had built 334 and absorbed Rp19.28 billion, or 31.64%, and said it would address its labour shortage. In Jakarta, each city area received 2,000 homes, while only a few dozen per area had been built. Local governments were asked to provide builders so homes could be built simultaneously.

Effects on the renovation labour market

When thousands of builders are absorbed by a government programme in November and December, homeowners planning private renovations may find it harder to book builders, and schedules may slip. The rains also slow roofing, wall and concrete work.

Tips for homeowners and small contractors

  • Book builders early for December jobs and agree on staged payments tied to progress.
  • Have materials on site before builders arrive so working days are not lost waiting for deliveries.
  • Prioritise roof and gutter work before the peak of the rains.
  • Choose materials that are quick to install, such as light steel roof frames or ready-to-fit panels, to save labour hours.
