Thanks bro, I appreciate your professional response; if I may ask again what's the average charge for such drawing?

Sir, it depend on how complex your structure is and also depend on if the drawing will be sealed /stamped with electrical engineering seal.

If your drawings will not be going for approval, I think 50k is okay

Hello house, please am at the decking stage of my build and my engineer is insisting I get an electrical diagram for the 5bed duplex to do the electrical conduit pipe work. Is the drawing compulsory cos that's a separate charge for me. Thanks
Shake his hands the next time you see him.

In the absence of a plan how exactly do you intend to have your ideas and choices properly implemented into your building,? Word of mouth?
Planning is everything, don't be cheap (kidding)
Get a plan, preferably done by your electrical contractor/ whover will be doing the installation. rub minds, and create your unique plan. don't settle for some random copy & paste job.

Absolutely.

The only potential issue that I saw was troubleshooting in case of future issue.

Here we'll use a toner - easy peasy.

in reality, you only need an electrical drawing for building approval purpose in some states but since you have already started construction, then you don't need it.

As we begin 2017, I am vigorously
basking in the euphoria that is encapsulated in this
yuletide.

Without sudating nor sudoring, let me say prestissimo
that 2017 may forcibly deliver it's gargantuan
blessings to you as it is evinced to my cerebrum.

I pray for a cornucopia of God's blessings, wisdom, grace, mercies, goodwill and kindness
upon you and your household especially during this
period of upheavals & recession currently affecting our economy.

Happy new year 2017 grin grin cool

Electrical design is necessary in building project. but if you want to supervise the project yourself as per where to position your socket and number of light fittings to be installed you may ignore the drawing. But is is advisable to do the design.
