I was told shingled roof is dearer to buy but cheaper to cargo (this is what we got as we have too many birds around our place + a pool didn;t want the thatch everywhere) I was told thatch is cheaper to buy but you have extra fumigation + it takes up more space in the container.
We got ours from Bale Bale. They have 2 big yards. If you order at the start of your trip and tell them an earlier date you are leaving Bali you will be able to see / inspect it before leaving Bali (thats what we did)As they have to build it to make it then they dismantle it to pack it. One mistake with ours was it wasb't protected for the container and got a little scratched.
You didn't say where yuou are from? might help as to advise how you can ship it home. We used Buy Bali Direct / Harry Kellerman.
email me if you would like info.
