Architects don't build.
Civil Engineers do that.

Architects don't build.
Civil Engineers do that.

In my humble opinion, Contractors build. A contractor is a builder.

Architects design the building

Civil Engineer/structural engineer does Structural analysis and Structural design

Builder executes steps in building the structure

Let me open your submissions but sometimes the words we use are fambiguous.

A contractor can be any body but its rightly streamlined to be a business person offering services to make profit.
You limited the work of a civil engineer to appear like he pushes paper.

The carpenter, iron bender, mason, electrician, are builders.

So without the practicing license your ARCON certificate becomes invalid sir?
Partially invalid I believe. There are some obligations expected of you as an ARCON registered Architect to meet on yearly basis mist especially your financial commitment to the body, once the yearly obligations are met then you will have access to print your practicing license online which valid for a year. Unfortunately most clients don't ask for your professional licence before engaging professionals.

I did it last year but some women created craters there looking for sand to fetch. I had to involve the local government task force and they came to arrest them. Now I need to solve it once and for all by levelling it with rubble and pave it. I want to do that as soon as rain stops in October.

This is unbelievable. In fact, this is witchcraft. Witchcraft is not only when you fly at night, if you are not pleased with development and the goodwill and progress of people, you be winch.

Turning a charity graded road for the common good of the immediate community in a free quarry site is witchcraft by any definition of the word.

The carpenter, iron bender, mason, electrician, are builders.

The bolded are artisans. Even artisans are registered by COREN in their own category.

Have you heard of CORBON (Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria), a building contractor should be a member.

What i mean by builder is a person who studied a professional course that carries building as a core eg Building Technology.

These set of people are trained building contractors not the type we have all over Nigeria.

The construction industry in Nigeria is not regulated that is why we have every type of people claiming to be contractors. I once worked as a Civil engr in a property development company where the entire management had no single building related professional. I have a friend who is a so called contractor but is actually an electrical engineer. This guy built a plaza belonging to his brother in Abj recently. All he needs is a Civil engr who will sign an undertaking for the project and he can do anything he wishes while in the event of a collapse, he walks away blameless.

Boss from your experience which of the brands are good and pocket friendly for use considering longevity
They are all good product, cost depends on your choice and your pocket. I used them, they are far more better then those Chinese ones. The secrets of tiles is the thickness, what ever you want to used make sure the thickness is above 10mm at average if you can afford it.

Below is the leader of the gang coming to my street to fetch sand and creating craters here and there. People there said they are powerless. I got her arrested while I was in Nigeria in May. She wrote an undertaken never to return to it again only to return one week after I left Nigeria. The task force gave me their number to give to my brother and security guards to report the miscreants in case they came back again. My security guard saw her and her crew and quickly informed my brother in Lagos. It was my brother that called the local government task force to report their activities again. Without me being there, the task force came to my street immediately my brother called and reported them. They arrested all of them and seized their tools. They slept at the police station for more than one day. In fact sending message to me to beg me that I should contact the police and local government task force to release them.

Pictures were being sent to me from the police station
