flexyonline: Maybe you engage a big architectural and MEP consulting firm .. and again what is the size of your project. Company like KOA consultant, CA consultant, OJ&T consultant, CCP consultant etc can't change less than one million naira for MEP design. I did one MEP design for client in Calabar some month ago. We agreed on the price and after delivered the drawings to the man with COREN seal, he added extra 50k to my money and started narrating how somebody introduce him to me. He said he contacted a well known consulting firm and the price given to him is times 5 (x5) of what I charged him. 1 Like |

UC92:i agree my brother, architecture has indeed been thrown to the dogs because it wasn't no sane person will even dare post that an architect agreed to do a design, structure and MEP drawings for 25k online, such a person will consider such job a help and will keep quiet about it, thats the reason i changed my mind, that one he already got is his money worth, if he wants the structural et all he should pay for it or look somewhere else. |

flexyonline: If you see anyone offering to do architectural, mechanical, electrical and structural design for 50k you better run faraway. Most are just charlatans looking for next daily bread and what you'll get would be almost useless and won't stand scrutiny. In your case, you probably engaged a top firm and most likely your scale of work was larger and perhaps supervision was included. I'd also be wary of architects who draw structural designs. I'd also be wary of people who go about swearing, cussing and cursing. 12 Likes 1 Share |

sconp:A friend of mine thought he got a deal, 100k for everything inclusive. By the time he got to know what they were doing on site it was too late. They constructed a bathroom 4 ft by 4 ft, a pillar in the middles of a bedroom, no concentration for ventilation. He ended up pulling the entire building down. 1 Like |

samoranononi:Sir, a three bedroom shouldn't be this complex. Your designer is not an architect, he might be a draftman who uses cadd or an IT student. Thjs is still a pure shit. Useless lobbies and unventilated dinning. Kai. Didn't you ask for copies of his previous works b4 consulting him? 3 Likes |

samoranononi:Look at the breath of the building, 12.9m out of 15m. What if you were to approve the design, it's definitely not gonna be possible. If you claim to be on a tight budget, eliminate anteroom, it's not needed at all. Anteroom always becomes as useless as dinning in a Nigerian home. 1 Like |

stanley000: I’ve been trying my best not to insult you or curse you despite everything you’ve done and said. You agreed 10k for architectural design and 20k for both the architectural, structural and mechanical but with what I’ve seen so far it was the hunger in you that was bargaining price. You were so desperate to get money from me. You didn’t send any job to me when I was you to pause the drawing until I get the 20k you asked for but the hunger made you to rain curses and insults. You said a design I didn’t understand and I asked you what is next. You said you were busy with the rest that it doesn’t work that way. Only for you to ask for more 30k I have the charge where you asked for 25k after I told you numerous times that I don’t have the money for such at the moment. I even said I won’t complain about my architect again since I couldn’t afford to pay good money. Honestly I’m not sad because of the 20k or how you played me. I’m only sad because I trusted you and expected more from you. I understand there’s nothing hunger can’t do to someone but you should have handle it in mature way. If I want to make trouble with you. Our conversations are enough but it’s ok. Enjoy your life Sir. 5 Likes

flexyonline:Can you tell us the scope of your drawing? This is a little on the high side for regular joes like us. Many of these professionals with Core this Core that end up giving Baba Lati the job without stepping on your side till the job finish. Some of them will come online displaying grammars of professionalism comparing themselves with foreign professionals practicing in other jurisdictions. One thing that is clear to me is to be a PE engineer or Core as they call it, in this part of the world you must be in practice for at least 10 years and exhibit multiply projects that you singlehandedly done over the years before one can seat for that exam. This exam is not cheap, after acquiring your education with sometimes up to or over $100,000 in student loans to attain those professional license. Honestly, can our local professionals comparing their charges with foreign counterparts practicing in other parts of the world. With many of them not even aware of liability that can ruin the entire professional life if anything went wrong in the line of their duty. In my opinion, this is why many of their foreign counterparts charging what the government prescribed for them to charge. Factoring all those student loans and liabilities into those charges, do we have all of this in Nigeria? Even with all this, there is heavy taxes these professionals pay to the government. In honesty, how many of our professionals here paying those taxes, even regular taxes? People pay ties to churches and mosque's than government taxes. 1 Like |
