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. 1 Like |

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. bala221: 1 Like |

bala221: 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. |

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

bala221: You already have an architect in your employ. Tell him to get you a structural engineer that will do what you need. |

gretop:It is obvious you are not requesting this info for your personal building. I will advice you work out the quantities you need, go to market and get the prevailing prices of materials you required add your profit and submit your quote. Or better still consult a pro QS to help you. |

rotecch77:Then why do people detach the septic tank from soak away, when a single wall can be used as partition to save cost? |

Rubbiish: Everybody with diff approach. But separating it from the septic tank will give it large expanse of land (4side) to distribute the waste water into. |

gretop:Sir, don't pick offence ooo, o share my opinion and based on what we experienced we have had from some people who will come here pretend to be a prospective builder and get a quote for a project they are actually bidding for. The way you put up your specifications is highly professional and I respected your intelligence for that if all that was learnt from here, I also say kudos to all pros in da house. I am sorry for my wrong assumption. Wishing you all the best I'm your Project. 4 Likes |
