Hello!
I'm looking for a long-time experienced builder who is capable of texturing as well, or a team that has experience working together in the past, to build a mansion for me. I would take the time to do it myself, but at the moment my life has just started to get busy, so I don't have the time to do it.
Please read through the entire post before contacting me.
Specs:
Maximum footprint: 50x55m (50 deep, 55 wide)
Maximum prims: 2314 if furnished, 1600 if not.
Textures: All grayscale, no exceptions. Need not all be your creation, but the more unique the build is, the better.
Furnishings: Not required, but if you wish to make matching, scripted, furniture, then that'd be wonderful as well. If not, I can find and/or create my own. Additional fees acceptable if fully, or mostly, furnished. If only one or two items, I don't see any reason to increase the cost, though this could depend on quality.
Style: Generally an ornate victorian, though reality should not take over the design. I expect detail in textures and design, sculpts where they are a great boon to the build (Such as preventing high-prim stairs, creating detailed sculptures, and so on), and so on. I expect the build quality to be high, and prims to be used efficiently, but not sparingly.
=======================
Please contact me in-world to discuss specifics, time frame, payment, and so on.
If you intend to sell the build beyond my commission, then I will reduce the price I am willing to pay. If the build is unique to me, then I will be a bit more lenient with my budget.
I expect drawings, or some sort of plan, beforehand, to know that the style is correct before the building begins. These do not need to be high-quality blue prints, but must give some idea of the design, at least. I will do my best not to commandeer the creative side of the building design, and leave that to you, and I will do my best to work with you easily.
I expect the finished build to be packaged in a rezzer, with Modify and Copy permissions. Any furnishings need not be in the rezzer, though if they have specific placing in your mind's design, I am more than fine with them being packaged along with the rest of the build.
I am a seasoned builder and sculptor, and I will look for errors, and inefficient usage of prims. (By this, I mean such things as a small right angle corner being made of two prims where one would do with no loss in aesthetic value)
Note that my avatar is realistically (More or less) sized, and the build should be as well. I don't want doors to extend to twice my height, and so on.
NOTE:: If you are willing, a full sim build is also a possibility. I would, of course, be willing to pay considerably more for this, though there would be a wait before the project could fully start. I would request the design process to begin shortly, but would not require the build to progress beyond there at this time. Any full sim project would include more than just the main mansion, and also be entirely grayscale. If you would rather work on a full sim build of this scope, then please say so, and we can discuss this possibility rather than the smaller build.
I am entirely serious, and willing to commit to this build, and your payment. If you are willing to seriously commit to this build, and my requirements, contact me in-world via IM only, not a notecard. If I'm offline, your message will go to my email, and my messages are never capped anyway. (If you reply to this thread displaying interest, please also contact me in-world. I am not certain I will be keeping an eye on the thread)
I expect to be able to see examples of your work, as well as speak to at least one previous customer.
