Well, if looking for the exact prices, I suppose you want Strongholdbuilder's Guidebook. For all your megalomaniac building needs.:D

When I hear "spared no expense" I am going to assume that the PCs are soon to be bankrupt.

Just what does your No Expense entail?

Considering the 84,000 tons of stone alone for the huge 3 acre castle (DMG 3.0) requires 1/4 millon gp in wages...and takes 110 years for 5 stone cutters to quarry, I assume your City of the Spiderqueen is going to be magic built?

I strongly suggest your wizard invests in Knowledge(Engineering) and a Rod of Engineering(Major Creation/Minor Creation)

Hire a high level bard with a Lyre of Building? Use a beholder with it's dis- intergrater eye to dig tunnels? Random thoughts.
