spyder880:Architecture is not practiced in isolation. It is unfortunate that stakeholders do not pay attention to designs, It amuses me when some so called "Architects" brag about delivering a design project in 48hours, It doesn't work that way. Synergy is of essence in design projects, virtual and physical meetings should be held for validation at every design stage. In schools of Architecture, juries are held before any design can be certified fit, same should apply to real life project. To clients, don't agree to designs done and submitted within 48hrs, there are chances that lots of details were overlooked or it was just all copy and paste. It is about time we draw a line between Quacks, Architects and Qualified Architects 5 Likes |

MMotimo: Madam, I don't think I missed your point. I think you are not listening. There was no atom of rudeness in my reply. You don't like honesty too much I presume. I was just being honest. I am not a psychologist, I cannot take this believes off your head. I am not trained to do that. Interior Design or Decoration isn't meant for everyone to be honest its not. Just because I have phobia for rain doesn't mean I go about discouraging people from walking in it. Don't force your believes down people's throat. Your believe is it's a luxurious service and middle class cannot afford it but let me rephrase the sentence for you. You meant, "it's luxurious, I am a middle class woman and I cannot afford it because in my head I believe it's an expensive service". Stay in your limits. I see a lot of middle class people engaging the services of a professional Interior Decorator and they are happy. If you think it's only well to do people that engages the services of an interior decorator then you are wrong. I have designed homes for young adults in their early 20s. I think it's just a believe system. They just know their budget limits. I cannot change your mind set just because I post on this platform. You have to do that for your self. I have been given a budget of one million five hundred thousand naira to design a home for some young couple. A two bedroom apartment and I delivered. A nairalander has contacted me to help modify his living room with a budget of seven hundred thousand naira before. And we delivered Beautifully. And I have taken up projects in their tens of millions. I believe you need to speak for yourself in this context and stop assuming. Your Question- how you would convince a middle class builder who perceives your service as a luxury. My Response- Speaking for all Interior Decorator and Designers. I am not here to convince any body that already perceives our services as luxury. They have to see reasons themselves. We only pray for Clients that sees values in the services we render. Because for someone that has already made up their minds on a believe it's so hard for them to have a change of heart. Except they want that fixed by themselves and make up their mind to. That's not an Interior Designers problem. It's your own problem to deal with. I am here for the people that appreciates the God's given talents and abilities in Designers and the beauty they create and would love to partner with them for their Interior needs, requirements and expectations. Your Question again- how you would convince a middle class builder who perceives your service as a luxury. My Response (2)- it's all about your mentality Madam if I must say. if you know you cannot afford the services of an Interior Professional or you are not convinced about it, please do not force it. Do it yourself, do all you need to do by yourself to make your interior beautiful. If you could deem the service as luxurious then you don't know what it's all about in the first place. You cannot value it. You don't know much about it so It's not for you. If you have a problem with it then leave it. Don't come here discouraging people that genuinely are in need of a professional and can afford this services. Eni ti o ba mo iyi Wura ni a hun ta a fun. It's a person that knows the value of Gold that it's sold to. Alot of people think it's luxury where as others think it's an investment. Believe it or not it's a solution providing service. It's not a cheap service if you are looking for cheap but it can be made affordable. Everything that has to do with this service is quality and of value. And we both know quality isn't cheap. Obe to dun, owo lo pa. Soup wey sweet na money kill am. You wrote "I will forgive the other parts because I don’t know what your head space was like when you read my post". Don't you think you are the one being rude?. You don't insult people to make a point. You don't need a professional, you can always go to the market and buy what you you can afford. It's not a service for everyone. It's for the right kind of people that understands it's advantages. Definitely not a cheap service but it's affordable. You wrote- English is not my first language and apparently not yours either so I have read my post again and you should too to see how your rude response relates to what I wrote. I thought the intent of my post was clear - give you the opportunity to convince a non luxury builder that you offer a service they should consider paying for. My response- First, who told you I was here to speak English. I am here to pass a message across. As long as it can be understood then my purpose has been met. Why are you making it like it's a competitive essay and trying to gain sympathy likes by calling me rude. I am not competing with you. I do not have to reply to your question the way you want it answered in your own head. I speak for myself and the way I feel it's best. Infact, I don't even know you madam so I have no resentment against you but my resentment is against you trying to ridicule my Profession by tagging it somewhat. I wouldn't take that. Imagine this I am a woman like yourself statement. And enough about my use of words. I am a professional Interior decorator not an English scoler. Secondly, it's not a service to consider. You have to want it. If you are not a non luxury builder. I don't think you might be happy with what ever any Decorator would designs for you because you will definitely count your cost. I would advice you go online and read alittle about what you are trying to achieve and fix your interior yourself. Like someone on this platform wrote, "Professionals are for the Elite". And I modify it to, "Professionals isn't for everyone". Have a good day!. 7 Likes 1 Share |

UC92:but when it's time to bargaining price you don't draw the line on quacks. You want an architect you paid 50k to spend 3weeks on your designs because that your 50k will make him somebody right? Maybe they can come to your site and become your bricklayer too. Some ppl are not just big enough to contract an architect they are just overreaching. Professionals are for the elite. Your 100k will not get you that quality job 300k will get someone else. A bitch on the forum once propose to pay 50k for a complete drawing plus 3d, now I'm sure when she finally gets a quack to do it at that price and something goes wrong her mouth will be running sharp too that architects don't know their jobs. 3 Likes |

dangoteinlaw:Lol. Your points are valid. Your last paragraph is actually the reason why I said it is time to distinguish between Quacks and Architects. You don't get design of just 8sheets of paper and you are bold to say that you commissioned an Architect, there are levels to these things. If you are an Architectural technologist, graduate, qualified or a registered Architect, you don't need to be told to walk away when such offers come your way. |

MMotimo:Actually, your question would have been a way for her to promote herself. She probably took the question as an attack. "How would you convince the middle class that hiring interior decorator is not a luxury" Her response could have convinced other kobo kobo builders to start "factoring" in interior decors to their budget. 9 Likes |

UC92: A civil engineer should be able to read and understand every details communicated by the architect, it's part of the training we received. For some archtects that just want to make some details questionable, a civil engineer also have the capacity to ratify and implement correctly and professionally too.
