Exactly.
An architect's job is to supervise when it comes to building construction. (From start to finish)
He/she must make sure all things are done accordingly. All other consultants too would contribute, they ensure their areas in which they are involved in a project are well done.
In mega projects, an architect will issue a certificate of completion to a contractor or builder in charge of such project.

Because if u feed a dog for a year, he or she will remember you a life time.

Humans can spend a life time with you, and still tell you what have you done, even unto their God that create them.

They even kill their own saviour Jesus.

They do lesbians and gayings.

Sodoming and Gomorring

Which animals don't do.

Why ? Humans do these.


I typically don't get involved with religion, politics and sports on here. But this opinion of yours has been duly noted. Thanks.

An Architect in the USA will vet and hire a licensed electrical contractor because at the end of the day it's the Architects license and insurance that's on the line.

I think you’re missing my point. That I recommend that the building job be given to an Architect is not saying that he’s the one building the house. He’s merely the lead person and who brings in the other trades like structural engineer and masons, as an example.

The piss poor finished houses in Nigeria is as a result of lack of proper interpretation by masons with no architectural oversight. In my opinion.
You are on point

Role of an Architect in construction

Architects are in charge of design and project planning, and they are also responsible for the visual appearance of buildings and structures. ... Architects have several responsibilities during all stages of a project, from the initial drafts and meetings to the inauguration of a building

Note; several responsibilities means to check design working drawing specifications in accordance with interpretation!

What can make an architect carry out building construction is to have dual experience and certificate


Role of a BUILDER in construction

His role in building development process in general, is to construct the building. He does this by taking charge of the activities on a building construction site in translating designs, working drawings, schedules and specifications into a physical structure.

Here builders are responsible for build ability of the design ( drawing).


Finally we can’t say because (Iya abiye ) native doctors is good. Now claims medical Doctors role.

Thank God you know your roles as a builder

You are an engineer and you approve the above pipe for your electrical decking piping? Doesn’t add up at all….

We all know that the pipe in the attached picture are inferior.. for decking piping high quality dignity pipe is recommended!!! Now we have to start laying pipes on the floor… something I hate much.

Nearly all the pipes are blocked!!

Was on site to see for myself, it was an eyesore.

Most of the plumbing pipes are blocked and unusable.

Some broken (Both electrical and plumbing pipes)

The plumbing engineer is left with no choice than to re-pipe some places.

Alot of other issues here and there.

Let me sort what's sortable first before anything else.

It's just pathetic, tell the plumbing engineer, to get concentrated hydrochloric Acid, this will dissolve all the concrete in the pipe, leave it for 24hrs, you might need to cap it in the duct, with this you will have your pipe back instead of re-piping, let him check for leakage too, I don't trust mushin guys,

budget 400,000. But if you go for galvanized pipes,it will be significantly cheaper.

For 400,000 what you get is 4 by 2 H channel for the stand and same for the load bearing. 3 by 1½ for the poline.

Then the basement should be casted with ¾" foundation rods by 3ft long.

But if you have it sunk into the earth,it will cost around 280-320,000 depending on your location and your negotiating skills.

Good luck

Most of them are leaking/broken.
Some were installed wrongly too.

The most affected of the conduit pipes are those for electrical wires.
