Do you mean a frame or a chasis?

If he gave you a chasis, that's for an advanced BLL and you can't make one until you master DE. If he have you a frame (advanced droid frame unit) then you can use it to help make a basic BLL.

Problem with Binary Load Lifters is that you need factory crate parts and specific resources to make one (Duralloy/Duranium steel, Adv motive unit, manipulator arms). My suggestion would be to tell him to ask a Master for one. If he's adamant about having you make one, tell him to wait a month. Either way, these are enough of a pain in the ass to make that you should charge him 50k for a completion.

If what he gave you was a chasis (you haven't confirmed this yet) then the factory parts already went into it. The mastery I'm talking about to turn a chasis into an Advanced BLL is Droid Engineering and you're talking like you think Artisan is what you have to master.

If what you were given was a frame unit, then you will need factory parts to complete a basic BLL. For a basic BLL 20k is not unreasonable. I he gave you a chasis you won't able to do anything with it.

1) Adding proper punctation, capitalization and some semblance of grammar to your questions will make it a lot easier for the rest of us decipher your post and answer your questions.

2) We need to know if your customer gave you a BLL chassis or an advanced droid frame. If he gave you a BLL chassis, as stated above, it can only be used to create an advanced BLL which is a master only item.

3) You are going to need duranium steel to make a BLL. Make sure you have it or can get it before you commit to this order.

4) Price? That varies from server to server. A price of 25k-30k for a basic BLL would not be unreasonable considering the number of factory parts and the quanitity of duranium steel required.

5) I generally found it a good practice to make sure that your customer knows up front that the BLL has no current use as it does not actually lift anything or have any service module space.
