Looking to hire a base designer. (1 billion inf contract)

EDIT: I have decided on my designer and we have already made our arrangements. I have no intentions of releasing the designer's name, but after completion I will be posting screen shots. Thank you to everyone who has applied.

EDIT 2: Screenshots have been posted.
TL;DR:

I'm lazy and I'm willing to pay up to one billion influence to get two rooms designed.


Details:

I tried to get a specific look out of my main's solo SG base which I use for RP purposes. I have failed to achieve a look I'm pleased with. I've seen some great ideas and took some awesome tours, but when it comes down to it, I don't have the time and patience to try it again.

The look I'm going for is a high-tech medical research and treatment facility. It has to look clean and reputable. One of the rooms is of predetermined size and purpose; the other will be discretionary. The predetermined room is a 4x3 Workshop (this should work out, as I've seen some great "medical" things done with the enhancement storage and invention tables). The second room can be anything up to a 4x3, but I'd prefer 3x3 at this point. The current budget to work with is just over 1 million prestige (rooms and enhancement storage are already purchased).

Contract/payment:

To get the job, I'd like to see some of your work. You don't have to have something similar to what I'm looking for, but it'd help your chances if there's more than one person who applies.

You will be paid 100 million upon accepting the contract. Once this payment is made, the job has officially started. I would prefer the work to be in under 30 days. Upon completion of the job to my satisfaction, you will be paid 650 million.

That's only 750 million total. There is a 250 million bonus available for what I'd consider "above and beyond," like timely completion and overall happiness with the results. For example, if you take all 30 days, but touched up a few extra areas of the base and I absolutely love it, I'll give you the full 250 million here. If you just focus on the two rooms and they look pretty good with a few things I might change later, but you finished in a week, I'll probably throw in 150 million or so.

What server is this on? My RP-SG on Virtue has a laboratory design that I would definitely say meets your expectations. I take pride in design and creativity, and that does sound like a nice, pretty penny.

Ah, good question. This is on Virtue, redside. That shouldn't matter too much unless you're out of character slots on Virtue and don't have a currently redside, SG-less character.

I'm willing to make "tour" characters on any server to see your work.

Send me a tell in game and we'll work something out for sure.

You can check my SG Screenshot Tour of the former design for my base in my sig. If you want to see the current base (with 5 yet to be completed rooms in it after a plot expansion) you can send me a tell in game and I'll give you a tour.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...

Just as an update: I've spoken with a few prospects but only had the chance to meet and tour with one so far. I look forward to meeting with the others and hope to hear from a few more.

Regardless of meeting with any one prospect, I will not be making any decisions until this weekend, so there's still plenty of time to get in on this job.

Thanks again.

Today is Friday, and with that, the weekend and my decision have arrived.

The chosen designer has already been notified and arrangements have been made. That means, if I haven't already talked to you, you're not hired. I talked to a lot of great designers who had very impressive bases they were responsible for. I regret that I cannot fund everyone's talents.

Thank you, again, for your time.

Let's see some of those screen shots

Good call. I took the shots, but never got around to uploading them. Thanks for the reminder.

Also, I'm considering having one more room done. I need an executive suite done in a control room. To be honest, I'll probably go back to the guy that did this the first time, unless someone else has a really good example of something similar to what I'm looking for they've done. Also, I suppose he could be busy.

How would 400m + conditional 100m sound? Any takers?
