Director of Production for the Alliance States of Tekky, Larry Stewarts, has sent the following message via a borrowed satellite from the SSBSB Region to all nation leaders;

"Dear respective officials, the latest monthly budget for the Alliance States of Tekky (ASoT from here on out) has been made official, and within were documents on building the infrastructure our nation needs to begin it's success in this world. We are currently is desperate need of architects to assist us in building these facilities since at the moment we have not had the time or resources to train our own citizens to perform such tasks. Our most important wishes are as follows:

5 High standard Medical Research Facilities
3 National Centers of Medicine
8 Science and Technology Research Centers
3 Space Frontier Headquarters of Research

The rest of our plans have already been highly productive, including the creation of many agencies ranging from transportation to media as well as a diverse selection of educational and commercial industries. We feel, as a nation, that after these requested research centers have been established that we will be able to support ourselves atleast somewhat, since as of now we rely on other countries for all technology, medicine, and space information.

Our current budget for all of the above buildings is just south of $300 million USD. We are unsure of exact prices or contracting costs, and so that is why this message is being sent out. If there are any architects or production agencies looking for a project to undergo, please reply to this message with your estimation on prices for any of the above facilities."

~ Larry Stewarts, Directer of Production for ASoT

OoC: I wasn't even about to take a swing at what prices may be, so I'm unsure just how far $300 million USD will go with this project. I know in the bigger picture it isn't much money, but as a starting nation my budget doesn't have the billions of dollars needed to throw around in construction costs. As I did state however, educational facilities have been built so I plan on being able to use my own architects in the near future, but for now I do not have that luxury. :wink:

We have recieved your request for architecture services, and we may have just what you need! We service top-of-the-line architects at reasonable rates for a nation with your budget, and can even include construction services with the deal. For a mere 150 USD an hour, our architects can come up with designs necessary for safe, efficient, effective, and comfortable working environments. For a price that can be negotiated in a contract, we can build these very structures for you, or at least assist in the process. If your budget does not currently meet the requirements for such employment, we are willing to allow payments over a period of time rather than all at once, so that such a task can be feasibly worked out.

We hope to hear from you soon, and hope that you choose Syntec for your construction needs.

Yes I'm well aware of the fact that I have a listed $16 Billion budget, but I had other matters to attend to before blowing cash on research facilities. Atleast 75% of that original $16 Billion went to educational facilities, transportation, media, commercial industry, and many other departments. I literally started everything from scratch. Another portion went to hire the Council that takes care of all voting issues, as well as paying the Prime Minister and Foreign Ministers. All in all I was left with around $600 million and I decided to use half on buildings and save the other half until my next wave of cash comes in in case of some freak emergency (although $300m is hardly enough for any disaster)

/// From Director of Production Larry Stewarts

"Our land has decided to look further in to hiring your architects for the project at hand. As previously stated, our budget for this project is a small $300m, but we have decided to temporarily borrow money from various departments we have established in order to jump start the construction of these buildings. All together we have put together a direct payment of $1 billion USD as well as supplying all of your workers protection, lodging, and materials needed for the job.

The one question we must ask, is at the cost of $150m USD per hour, how long do you plan a project like this to last? It is important to tally up a final bill so we can work out an idea on how quickly we can pay off our debt to you and your people."

We are happy to hear that you are taking our offer into consideration. As for your requests:

The approximate time that it may take to initialize and finalize concepts for that many structures can take anywhere from 1.5 to 3 months. If 20 personnel are assigned to the task, at 8 hour workdays, five days a week, this works out approximately into a range from 792,000 USD to 1,584,000 USD.

As for the construction itself, given your number of requests and the average cost to build such structures, the price is approximately 60mil USD. This does not include transportation or worker wages. Transportation can cost around 10mil USD total.

For wages, there are two choices. You may employ our standard human workers, which for the average construction time period of such buildings can cost approximately 200mil USD. Alternatively, you may opt to employ our WFDVX-1 "Engi" drones, which can do a better job and do not have job security, legal benefits, or pesky unions, but the cost can vary from 175mil to 250mil USD to employ (programming, fuel, components, repairs, etc.).

We hope these prices are acceptable.

OoC: I just wanna make sure I've got this listed right without confusion:

Around 1.5 million for concept designs
Around 60 million for material
Around 10 million for transportation
And we'll say somewhere around 230 million for the WFDVX-1 "Engi" drones

All together it rises to 301.5 million, which is actually right on the money as far as the original building budget is concerned. If the numbers are correct, then it sounds like a good deal to me and I'd more then graciously accept the offer. If I'm off, or confused with the numbers you posted and got it wrong somewhere, please correct it.

We are glad to hear that you are satisfied. Concept work will begin immediately. Thank you for using Syntec.

Exactly $305 million USD has been wired to your organization. Upon completion we will ensure safe return of your droids as well as a $195 million USD thank you gift for helping out our small but vastly growing nation.

OoC: I don't plan on posting about this matter again since there isn't a direct way to decide NS times to Real Life time, so for the sake of doing this easily just assume within a few days that your droids are returned, and you recieve the additional $195m. Unless of course you planned on doing it some other way or whatever.
