I looked at a similar but much smaller project, a large garage out in the country. An artist friend of mine turned it into his studio.
I went though a bunch of options with him on insulation and what not. Pointed out some existing rotten wood and existing water penetration issues.
He paid me for my travel time and the couple of hours I was there for an "idea session". Being a nice guy and not a good business man, I made $200-300, never heard form him again until he had an open house.
It came out nice, but I know he will have problems down the road, he did not even insulate the perimeter of the slab. Don't think the roof insulation is properly ventilated either, it could come raining down on him when the trapped moisture up there freezes.
He did not pay me to do the drawings even though I told him in detail all of what I would have to go though to make it right. I don't think he used any drawings, very reckless of him in my opinion. But he saved a buck or two in the short run, right?
