bixton: A lot of words are synonymous to each other, besides, i have trying to explain the implications of saying an architect supervises the engineers. If you agree that the undertaking "implies that the professional will adhere to approved acceptable procedures in carrying out his work", that means you agree that an architect cannot supervise what he is not responsible for? When you supervise, you are responsible. It is not an ego contest, its a fact. I have worked under architects before and still work with architects. 2 Likes |

adanny01: Good with the bold. I have worked with 2 firms one headed by an engineer and the other by an architect. I still keep tabs on them as time permits. I'm a free lance. |

diordaves: With regards to the bolded. In most cases, architectural designs are pretty straight forward. Most of the challenge engineers face is the lack of site experience of some inexperienced architects, especially with regards to grid lines and dimensions. An engineers job is easier if he can export the architects grid lines and work from there but in most cases, an engineer cannot. This leads to building the engineers grid lines from the scratch. True, during design an engineer may need to clarify from the architect if there is a missing or ambiguous object. 1 Like |

adanny01: The essence of engineering is to conquer a challenge, for without it there's no work left for him. Every engineer was once inexperienced. |

educhigo: When last have you visited or sent someone to do that for you? People even sell lands and houses with good documents here in lagos. All you need to do is get an agent (it could be a trusted family member) to give you periodic feedbacks. When he or she is on your site, do whatsapp video call so your mind can be at rest. No one would buy a fenced or gated land(on padlock) without thinking twice. If that is not a good option, start building. Don't give yourself too much stress. I hope that was helpful. 2 Likes |

educhigo: What normally works for me is to do something on the land EVERY YEAR, no matter how small until you're ready to build proper. With me, I will not complete the fence at one go. I will be doing the fence "small small" every year. So for example, I will budget say N50K a year to maintain presence on the land. If it is fence, I will spend N50k and if the N50k finishes, na till next year be that. The problem with selling one land to multiple people is not showing presence and lack of maintenance. Year one, community no see you; year two community no see you; year three community no see you; year four them don sell the land dey wait for you. Kpatakpata them go give you another one for bush. Another thing is to award any maintenance contract to a member of the community. So if it is fence, look for a bricklayer from the community. The advantage of this, is that the brikky will see the land as an assured source of income and will act as your eye and ear. If any trespass, you will be the first to know from the bricklayer. This works for me. 8 Likes 1 Share |

educhigo:first of all, trusted eyes on properties, is very important, even if is your wife back home (that is an holy joke) having said that, is not possible again, nobody can possess your land again, your land is your land now, quote me anywhere, any time, we still have laws in this country, you have done the rightful needful, to possess your lands, I have people in diaspora, that bought land from me, over 5 years now, no fence, no gate, what they got from the families that sold the lands is just family receipt, and nobody can touch their lands, their lands still intact. You have your land to yourself, physical possession, and documentation intact, expect they are fake, if they are fake anything can happen, but if the documents are genuine omo Onile self go dey fear the land |

mountmoriah: Please, dont give him a 'false sense of security'! The danger of encroachment that a land may face, depends on the value (as a result of location) of the land in question. There are some lands that even if you fence it and there is no building on it, with someone living on it.... it will be encroached by "Power-Pass-Power". ![]() Last-last, what would happen is that the original owners of the land, after collecting triple of what you paid to them from the new buyer (and that buyer will be someone so connected in society that it will be futile for you to start a battle with), Once the newowner has built it, everything after that falls in the real of "negotiation". The sellers would offer you two options: 1.) They will relocate you to another place by giving you another land of same size (some will even give you a corner piece) in a less valuable location. 2.) offer to return your money back to you, in full. I have seen it happen a few times in my 'young' life. Even when yo have genuine reciept from them, all they need to do/say (by conniving among themselves since they are all beenfitting from the new bonanzza) is that the seller has not right to sell the land to you. Even if you go to court, the Judge will tell you that your "land contract" is null and void since the seller has "No Capacity to Contract" and you are entitled only to a refund. Lawyers in the house can attest to that fact. Best thing is fence it and put it to a temporary use. while processing the C-of-O Once they see people on it, it becomes difficult to appropriate it. Even the buyer will think twice. 1 Like |

mountmoriah: They will burst the fence and build overnight. As you didn't show continued presence, sometimes it may even take a couple of years before you will discover the fraud. It happened to my neighbour. We all bought from the community for one million each. She fenced and just "disappeared". I mean, disappeared. No one knew her address or her number or her people. No one. She probably did this for fear of kidnapping as it was the height of kidnapping in Niger Delta then. Fast forward six years later, same land in the area appreciated to 15 million. Yes, you read that right, 15mill in six years. This was as a result of the quality of those who bought in the estate and the quality of homes being built, from politicians in Delta State House of Assembly to the diaspora. The community just burst the fence and sold the land to a diaspora, who practically built overnight. The argument of the community is that they want development, so holding that land fallow is speculative and a hidding place for hoodlums. That they don't want speculators as this will hinder development. She went to court with the community not the diaspora that bought the land. The case is still ongoing. Now in such a scenario, even if she won, it's going to be compensation possibly at the price she bought. The truth is if you bought a land, show presence and maintain the land yearly with minimal amount until you are ready to build. Don't just disappear. Anything can happen. 3 Likes |
