I built 17 years ago a house in Ubud Bali . This house is in Balinese style 2 levels with a main roof and a small roof all around the house to protect the doors and windows of garden level.
3 years ago I had to change the roof from thatch to tiles .
I have asked a local contractor to make the change. As I am working in Jakarta I came only from time to time to monitor the work. Short after the end of work the small roof collapsed and I discovered that the contractor did not change the wooden structure , and used the old wood that was spoiled after exposition to the rain .
Since that time I have asked the contractor to repair this roof as guaranteed in the contract if any problem happens during 1 year after the end of work. But he keeps promising and finding reasons to not start the work.
2 years of negotiations is too long and I need to start legal action.
If some members of the forum know a good and honest Balinese lawyer ( better in Ubud) I would appreciate to get your advice
Thanks
