check out the ads in pet bird magazines, like Bird Talk. there are usually companies advertising pre-made aviaries, and some aren't that expensive. they also advertise aviary building materials. sometimes these pre-made kits are cheaper in the long run then something you made on your own. stainless steel wire mesh is best, but expensive. plastic-coated can work as well, but you need to be vigilant and give the birds plenty of other things to chew on (ie tree branches with leaves, etc).
also, i don't know if you've had budgies before, but i have and i found they very often have health problems. mine all died of kidney and liver failure despite being fed the exact same diet that my cockatiels and turquosine parakeet eat and are healthy on. i personally will never get another budgie because of that. i find that grass parakeets in general tend to be healthier then budgies, which is why i like them better especially for aviaries. they are often as colorful, if not moreso, even though they are usually not as friendly. something to think about, anyways.
