The batcave, in any version of Batman, is large. Plus there's the batmobile, which required special construction, plus the batcomputer and numerous other batwidgets.
How did a good sized batcave get built without the land above it being torn up and without requiring a huge construction crew?
And, after the cave was built, how was the batmobile built in secret, without someone involved in it being able to make the connection between the car they built and the one that shows up in the news when Batman is first seen? (While he's in Gotham, a masked vigilante is news that would end up nation wide.) There would also be the need for secrecy so vilains can't find out how it is built and what the specs are.
And then there's the continual supply of batwidgets. Just as with the batmobile, there's the need for these items and how they work to be kept secret.
It'd take several factories to produce all that Batman uses and major construction for any batcave I've seen (which is in movies and on TV).
How is all this done in secret? (Or is there a trail of bodies?)
Answer
Building the Batcave (or refitting natural one extensively) in secret is no big deal - it's not like it's advertised that it will be the Batcave, AND almost nobody knows about batcave's existence afterwards.
As for Batmobile, depends on which reboot. As Oghma said in a comment, in the latest movies reboot (Nolan's), the Batmobile is an already-developed but never sold (due to cost) advanced prototype developed by Wayne Industries.
In the early versions, I believe the implication is that batmobile is modified by Batman himself, probably with Alfred's help - remember that in those earlier times, men were men and could rebuild a car engine or add extra features to the car (moreover, the very first Batman's car was a stock convertible with no extra features).
The rest of BatGadgets are also either:
Developed by Wayne Enterprises
Designed by Lucius Fox (CEO of Wayne E.), or in other reboots, Alfred.
Most of batgadgets aren't really fully identifyable as batgadgets until they are styled, so they can be produced by any contractor - just as workers at FoxConn have no idea that components X Y and Z they are making are actually designed for the new iPhone. Again, Nolan reboot makes references to Wayne Enterprises making super-large buys of components to make some few batgadgets, for purposes of hiding in plain sight.
