50*40 feet u mean is the same as 15mx12m.if right standard re to be set with the right setbacks u may just have 9m by 9m to play with manageably..which can give u 3bedroom bungalow with the living dining Nd kitchen/a 4bedroom duplex by cantilevering the first floor slab Nd with 3carparks for the two .... But if u re not to follow the standard ...that means y not taking government approval nd all....u can get more than what is stated above... The cos can not be given accurately cos u ll need an architect plan to kno how the design is Nd also the finished if the design matters a lot cos that will influence your cost to a large extent ....

adanny01:I was quoting you from what you said upstairs nothing in that definition suggest your explanation as above.I will say this o nce again, the problems of Nigerians in Nigeria is we dwell 2much on certificates rather than the profession.Look Im not alian to the Nigerian Education system after all I did my 1st degree in Nigeria and only God helped us.Down in the west we learn everyday and train on the JOB engineer /ɛndʒɪˈnɪə/ Learn to pronounce noun plural noun: engineers 1. a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or structures. h 3. a skilful contriver or originator of something. "the prime engineer of the approach" verb 3rd person present: engineers 1. design and build (a machine or structure). "the men who engineered the tunnel" modify (an organism) by manipulating its genetic material. "it is now possible to engineer tobacco plants that are resistant to the virus" 2. skilfully arrange for (something) to occur. Read bellow A degree is often seen as a prerequisite to being an engineer. But, is it possible to become an engineer without an engineering degree? Trevor English By Trevor English February 25, 2017 Can You Become an Engineer Without an Engineering Degree? InstituteForApprenticeships/FLICKR Engineering is a time-old field that used to require years of apprenticeship in the industry but now requires years of school just to become licensed. However, could you become an engineer without an engineering degree? If we are going to examine this question, we need to set some groundwork for who exactly we consider an engineer. For this endeavour, we will focus on the core of engineering professions: mechanical, civil, chemical, and electrical. Software engineers (in fact, all the students that are doing computer science studies) are engineers, but not in the classical sense – you can also get into this profession without a degree in the field. For these four main categories, we can generally lump the rest of the engineering fields in. Manufacturing engineering can be considered mechanical, geotechnical engineering can be considered civil, etc. Now that we have our ground rules established, let's look for the answer to the question! Can You Become an Engineer Without an Engineering Degree? Civil Engineering Focusing first on civil engineering, this is currently one of the harder fields to enter into without a degree in engineering. Most civil engineers need to be licensed as Professional Engineers (PEs) in order to be allowed to stamp official plans. In order to get this license, at least a bachelor's in engineering is required. With that said, it is still plausible that you could become a subset of a civil engineer without a degree. Most of these cases are going to require years of hard work at one company that allows you to increase throughout the ranks of the field without formal education. For example, the construction worker to foreman to drafter to engineer. The occurrences of this advancement in civil engineering will be few and far between. The easiest entry to this profession would be simply to get a civil engineering degree. There is a good reason for such high requirements - a person without appropriate knowledge can cause quite a mess during a construction project. Mechanical Engineering Mechanical engineers aren't quite as regulated of a profession as civil engineering when it comes to licensing. The quick answer is that you could become a mechanical engineer without a degree in that field, but again, a degree in something technical is usually required. This is great news for any undergraduate student as it allows you to start working before you finish a university program. If you wanted to get into mechanical engineering without any college education you would need to demonstrate years of proficiency and skill in the field. Some companies will even encourage promising graduate and undergraduate students to apply for such a job. It will help the development of your skills while the company will get an experienced worker as soon as he or she finishes university courses. Even then, an employer might still require you to get a formal degree as part of the job. Compared to civil engineering, you can get into mechanical engineering without a degree in the field with ease, but the best way is still to get a degree. Can You Become an Engineer Without an Engineering Degree? Chemical Engineering Chemical engineering is perhaps the easiest field to get into without a degree in chemical engineering, but also the hardest degree to get into without a college degree. Part of why chemical engineering is easier without a chemical engineering degree is because of how far-reaching chemistry is. One could become a chemical engineer with a degree in chemistry, biology, or other life sciences. However, if you don't have some formal education in applied science, becoming a chemical engineer is going to be quite hard. Electrical Engineering Lastly, electrical engineering. We saved this one for last because it is probably the easiest field to get into without a degree at all, assuming you can demonstrate proficiency. Electrical engineering is a field that can largely be learned through hard work and experimentation, to a greater extent than other engineering fields. Someone can get started building various things in their garage and eventually gain enough proficiency to be hired in the field. This isn't to discount the large advantage that presents itself with having an electrical engineering degree, rather it is to highlight that hard work can get you into this engineering field more than any other. This makes sense given that this specific field is dependent on the creativity of your projects and final technology that you can produce. Unlike other engineering sciences, where the final product has to adhere to certain quality standards, electrical engineering is all about inventing new systems, services, and products. One of the best careers for those who like to tinker but don't like to study. Inspiration Top 10 Reasons to Become an Engineer Nowadays, you can find lots of engineering resources online. Many people prefer attaining advanced knowledge by reading content on a site. Even though this may help, some areas will be heavily regulated and will require an academic degree. Those of you who would like to skip the traditional learning process and going to a university (due to lack of free time) have in mind there are numerous accredited programs which you can complete online. Just make sure that your state (or country) recognizes the degree. So, can you become an engineer without a degree? Well, yes ... but it is by far easier to just go get the degree. Engineers are just people who have honed their critical thinking and problem-solving skills beyond standards. If you want to become an engineer, don't let having a degree hold you back. Get out there and learn. copied! 1 Like 1 Share |

segzy14: 7 days........ This is the last of news I expect to hear that may stand against Chekitaut and funny, another person is having the same issue. Anyways down where I deal the seller is supposed to use his/her funds to source for the material and gets paid once delivery is made, even if its midnite. This method only stands logically for maximum of 60 tons of granite to be supplied at once. I hope he clears himself off this issue without prolonging the issue. 1 Like |

Timtol: As far as supplies of such goes, I don't vouch for anyone even if we've been dealing for ages and when the monies are coming from a client. If its my personal money I have a limit to what I can allow. I can always get samples but will have to be at the designated shop or a representative of mine to see physically what is to be paid for and afterwards escort the loading truck back to the site. |

One of the greatest attitude to have in business is communication. I dont know if checkitaut is sick or what is making him to fail to deliver to his clients but either way communication is the key. If he was having hard time with his workers/suppliers causing the delays.. why not communicate to his clients?? Lots of times, we are all dependent on some other people to help us deliver to our clients , if those individuals fail that trickles down to us, causing us to fail our clients. But again communication is the key, dont be shy, be honest tell your client what happened and work with them to resolve the issue. I have been in a number of incident like this, a guy that was supposed to do some work for me, paid him, sourced materials , 2 week later.. dude was still no show, I called him raging and his response oh, my wife just had a baby... am like didn't you know your wife was pregnant for the past 9 months? Do you know if my own wife was pregnant too or ..... but at the end of the day.. this is business.. the Client have blood flowing in their veins also and we all do have plans , don't we ![]() Another situation on site, my in law didn't tell me about it, where I thought the project was was not actually where it is.... dude used the money to settle village people, youth, elders etc that was disturbing the build.... I wasn't happy with him, his response was, he didn't know how to tell me, I might think he chopped the money, he is trying to see how he could patch things and stretch the remaining budget.. and he got me thinking, now you got me upset and all and this is sth that's beyond your control and I have already envisioned where the project should have been and now here we are!!! Did you patch things up then or made it worse ![]() Bottom line, communication is the key.. if you can't deliver tell your client, refund them as necessary... it the circumstances was beyond your control and the money is gone because of some unforeseen circumstances, still communicate with the client or supplier as the case might be and work something out... keeping silent makes matters worse. 3 Likes |
