hi g, the reason i joined this site recently is because i paid a builder (whom was associated with a friend of mine and Jehoval Witness (very honest and hardworking people from my experience) $30k to extend a staff house and renovate a dapur and two timber villas (all only built 7 years prior but needed a bit of work on the timber due to borers). the work, near balian beach, was never finalized (meant to be finished in feb23) and the building company, although looked very professional (catu Kreasi Utama) no longer exists (the two partners, one of which i was associated through a friend, split as obviously the business was no longer good). so all i can say is make sure you don't put yourself in the same position. sadly i'm stuck in margaret river, western australia with my old rescued greyhound and rescued chooks and am unable to get away from my very busy bio-organic land husbandry property (it's on the market so upkeep is very important at the moment). i did contact a member of this website and they said buy your own materials and pay the workers weekly when one is on site. that does nothing for the refund of my money or for us to have a place to live with the animals upon arrival (we're travelling private jet for fears of all sorts of stuff!). good luck on your search. used to spend my winter months surfing at lacerations (early 2000s). i've heard now it's overpopulated and the greedy white westerner has almost destroyed the whole island?
. there were no cars or motorbikes when i first went there. and i bought some land in the mangroves area. wonder where that is now! haha
