A shyster is born every minute.

This listing from Guru:

Budget: Over $25,000
Category: Engineering & CAD
Description: I need plans, specs and a architetual ruff draft or art rendering of a "Glass Mirror Cylinder Style" 150-200 room hotel structure that can be built on two acres in Texas for under $2,000,000.00....Send an example of what I'm asking for in your response.

First, while it says that the budget is "over $25,000), a budget of $25,000 would yield just 1.25% architectural fees, which is absurdly low.  It would have to be at least $60K (3% fee) for anyone in the US to actually spend the time to take on plans and specs, and that's still a low ball number for asking what is essentially a niche, specialized architectural field.  $25K would be minimally adequate if you stopped short of construction documents.

Second, $2M for a 150-room hotel, even if in Texas, is ridiculously out of scale with a "glass mirror cylinder style" building.  Just for the glazing, we're talking at least $700K~$850K.

Third, just on a per-square foot basis, the $2M budget comes in at about $140/sf, which is less than half of what most hotels would be at.  Even if it were a budget motel, $140 wouldn't cut it -- you'd just have a mostly empty shell after that glazing was put in.

Fourth, a "ruff" draft, really?  My dog does ruff drafts all the time -- smells really bad, if you know what I mean.

Red flags everywhere.  Seems like this was a shyster looking to steal from a designer / architect.
