As a professional architect, I could give you advise but it will based on individual differences... you can reach me with a text on the nature of the proposed structure. NB am not doing this for your money sake, I just want to help after reading the several post. It. Is also wrong to label an architect a artisan... it's like say pharmacist are chemist that sells drugs on your local streets!

A fool at your age is obviously a fool forever and you prove the saying right. Grammar still intensely incorrect despite the fact that you live abroad. You are a big disgrace to America and appalling to Nigerians, who have been trying to correct your mental dilapidation to no avail on this thread. Gross Idiot.

Venom104:
No need getting worked up over an individual's opinion on who is an artisan, architect or bricklayer.. Egunmogaji might come off as an arrogant

preek, in the end his opinion takes nothing away from anyone's years of education and practice to become an artisan/architect.

So lets be civil instead of the unnecessary ego tantrums

EgunMogaji:


Venom104 might come across as a pompous dweeb, but he's right why are the dunces loosing sleep on how I define stuff?

Artisan Architects I salute you all, please continue to blend architecture with artistcal flairs and take the industry. Some of us appreciate other than standard structures.

Venom104:



Artistic flair is one of the core principles of any professional architect.. Anyway, How much were you quoted for the design??

EgunMogaji:


You're right about artistic flair, but you won;t believe how many still drew roman pillars and ensuite bedrooms after having told them I don't want them.

My Architect and I have a relationship based on future work - I would ask that you approach him direct for a quote. He treated me very fairly.

I will tell you this much I stand behind his work 110% and he has the patience of a saint.

Based on the title of my thread I know this makes me hypocritical by not telling my cost, but no worries I can wear that and many more titles

I can see that you guys are done brow beating Brabus but I didn't get a meeting invite that it's my turn this week to get a royal Nairaland beat down

Venom104:


Damn you for taking away the chance to point out the hypocrisy there.. As for the bolded , that's why you are better served going for

professionals, some just regurgitate past designs with little or no alterations to different client needs..

All the best with your project

Architects are not artisans!
There are industry standards in terms of fees and the level of involvement required.

Normally the fees you pay industry wide is usually a percentage of the cost of construction for a standard project based on the scale of professional fees, which is in the public domain.

However, based on relationship, level of experience or level of desperation you can get lower negotiated fees as low as 20k especially from undergraduate, new graduates searching for job, dropouts etc.

I should also mention that some will overcharge you if the they think they can get away with it.

Bottomline, if you have the money engage registered professionals with physical offices - Architects, Engineers, surveyors etc negotiate fees not higher than scale of fees recommendation. If you don't have the money or you just want a draft - new graduate, undergraduate or young graduate will be a better alternative.

Basically the charge you get will be the value he or she puts on their service.

waht is the value of your service?

Remember there are quacks out there.

2.5m to design a bungalow is outrageous

EgunMogaji:


You're allright dude, I like you

Thanks.

abouzaid:
please can we see the floor plan and 3d of this your highly rated work?

EgunMogaji:


You're allright dude, I like you

Thanks.

EgunMogaji:


So what is the industry standard?

Value of what service?

I used the word artisan in general and I stand by it. No worries though because even a 2 stroke engine repair person considers himself an engineer in Nigeria.

pen2:

Architects are not artisans! Stop trying to defend your ignorance or poor use of english. Architects are licensed professional who go through painstaking training both in schools and in practice. Its like calling a medical doctor a lab assistant!

EgunMogaji:


Architects to me are artisans. No attempt to deflect your lack of inadequate reasoning or self centered and bloated ego can shift my usage of that word. If the shoe doesn't fit, then don't wear it. Real accomplished Architects/Designers/Draughtsmen knows who they are and they don't get into an hypnotic fit because of some shyte title.

Stop trying to make yourself relevant, you're simply not. The 3D service that you are offering on here and that I showcased as being available on Fiverr.Com for ordinary $5 is why you're here to lash out
