BuddyPress.org

I’m looking to get some costs to build a niche social network for motorsport lovers.
Have the domain and concept ready to go. Ive just come across buddypress following my wordpress research and it appears many of the features I was looking to develop have been done and are plugins here so hope someone can help me get up a running.

I have budget in place for this and already users on another site which I would transfer over.
Skype chat to start would be great. Thanks James
