you are welcome my oga. He refused to post the design masterpiece i gave him lol. I challenge him to post the drawing compared to the trash the previous baba gave him. I wanted to give him all the drawings but he wanted to play me even on top the fact that i wanted to help him so that's why I changed my mind. There's no fraud here, i only want payment for my work simple.

Hey, you were so desperate to get the job from the guy
After he clearly told you that he is rich at the moment
You cajoled him until he decided to pay for the job , you desperately want.

Raining curses for #45k job. Nawa oh

I come in Peace sha o.

Sometimes when I go through posts here it’s almost like we live in parallel universes. I paid 1.4 million Naira for all of my drawings and that was with a lot of arguments sef. How are you guys doing drawings for 30k, 40k?

What was the nature of the building that was designed ( duplex, bungalows, etc,etc)

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.

This is the right and wise thing to do at a time like this. Unfortunately, this puts more pressure on the supplies pushing prices further up. And eventually, your stock will still finish and you'll still go back to the market. Even the manufacturers are affected too cos they have to buy raw material.

I'm seeing shops in my area not able to stock up to their usual level because they can't buy the same quantity to sell as before.

You still don’t get

You are also constantly reviewing prices of your products , there is something called replacement cost , that way you have hedged the loss in value of the naira , depends on your scale of operations also

I have RM of 6 to 8 month stocks , I still benchmark to present realities . Also atimes it’s about having stocks to produce when nobody else has or there is scarcity in the market , brands are established further in times like this

This looks Nice

I saw this on Thursday in GTBank .....

I believe Michy & BabaEgun can replicate this or even create a better Design

I'd love to see more of better ideas/ design (Pics) on a similar stuff

since he has given you go ahead to post the drawings.. Post it and let proffessional here give their observations ...

stanley000:
sir the drawings has been released to him. I have sent him all architectural drawings, if he refuses to pay my balance then he should have another person do the structural and mechanical. I have the drawings yes but I worked it out so he must pay before he gets it just like how he did for the architectural.

Competency isn't enough in getting commission, lack of soft skills will tend to scare potential clients away from you.

See as una just dey bargain the cost of Architectural design like say na pepper and maggi dem de sell.
Architecture has been thrown to the dogs really.

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.

i pray he doesn't because my fellow architects here will throw insults at me for doing such adrawing at a meager amount.

It's not a big challenge for economist but for a government that doesn't want to engage professionals.
Secondly, our population growth is not sustainable. Our boarder is like ant hole. Any Tom dick and Harry can come in putting more pressure on the already insufficient resources.
Thirdly, less than 5% of the population are enjoying the resources of all though looting. Funny thing is most of this loots ends up in foreign countries.

Again, our inflation is 3 fold. 1) Imported - increase in prices in other countries are translated here because we are heavily import dependent. 2)exchange rate - self defeating policy. No matter how you CBN adjust the rate, black market rate will always give it gap. Between last week and today, CBN has not made any adjustment in rate other than a website figure update, so what's fuelling the increase other? 3)greed - people want to make astronomical profit, forgetting that they too also depend on the market for other stuff.
It's a rat race.

Mine was about 250k. Seems drawings get grades

The blame is on you.

Sir. let me get this clear, are you saying you do all those job for 25k? or he get someone that can do the job for 25k

spyder880:
In this inflation period, one of the best responses is to stock up on needed materials and wait to use them on ongoing and upcoming projects before the costs can get out of reach. This has helped me keep a lot of costs down. I have spend the last 36 hours in and around Onitsha, buying as much building materials as possible to stock up for future use.

If you have some local funds, better tie them down on something as the naira is losing its value daily.

@Oga Spyder how many of us can afford to pre stock materials like that, unless if one is in Hushpuppi, Rufai Aderemi ganga, that are on news worldwide recently.

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.

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.

Ggee:
You made big mistake in sending money to the guy. We all should be weary of people asking to reach out privately, some are not sincere.
Mr. Stanley000, read through the post, and check your conscience and release the drawings please. It is not too late to redeem yourself.

I know I did but I’ve learnt my lesson. It won’t repeat itself again.

Stanley, did you do all the drawings by yourself or you consulted professionals of each field too?

n3xt:


I saw the plan and I knew Aforzy already gave the best piece of advice which the smart architect has effected.

In addition, I’d only add the modification below.

Thank you Sir. I appreciate this. The architect even sent me another he designed that I should check it out and get back to him.

Sure.
Though architectural firms can provide all other drawings too, they have professionals at hand to handle each case.

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?

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.

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.

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.
