You already have an architect in your employ.
Tell him to get you a structural engineer that will do what you need.

Okay. Thanks

I'm not getting your write up in one bit.
What you intend doing is not a bungalow.
Much as Julius Berger or Dantata, etc,etc, are construction experts, they don't initiate any construction plan without doing a comprehensive design for all phases.
Any Civil/Structural Engineer who handles your project without taking a look at your structural design is most likely not one.
There are persons who can give you what you need at a considerable price.

Getting your design approved by the relevant government authorities is a different ball game.
But just ensure you have your complete drawings done.

Thanks a lot for such advice. I would be glad if I am pointed to a competent structural engineer.

Hey Chief, can you get approval to put up a 2-storey doing where you stay without a structural design? Just curious why cost should override what IMO is a key safety step.

You might already have started the project on the wrong footing. Good luck though.

Dear Jabolo, that is why I am here for advice. Please can you point me in the right direction?

Hello great house,

I am starting my house project size (35 ft by 97 ft), and have given an architect to do my designs (2 storey building, that is two floors above the ground floor with a small BQ beside). I want to start bit by bit as I am not loaded for now.

He is insisting that I go for structural design before I commence, But I think I can get a good civil engineer to supervise once in a while during the project to save cost instead of doing the structural designs (He (the architect) has given me the DWG drawings for structural design). What do you advice?

I am now waiting for the architect to finish off his designs and then I begin setting out.


Also I am in diaspora, please what are the tips to avoid being shortchanged by my builders and overseers?

My project is in Kano by the way.

Hello house gurus, Please any pointers for/Against FIDSON?
