Konquest: We all know they are all important. The problem is responsibility. Who is responsible for what and when. Just as the national assembly in Nigeria has encroached on the day to day running of government in the guise of oversight, thats the same way architects in Nigeria have gone beyond their responsibility of oversight to actual execution of site activities. The only person professionally trained for execution of day to day building site works is the contractor aka builder. If an architect designed a flat roof, his responsibility on site is to make sure that nothing other than a flat roof is installed. If his design gives a room size of 3mx3m, he is responsible for the builder adhering to that design. An architect has no responsibility in the quantity or quality of structural members. Both the architect and engr are responsible for symmetry. I can go on and on. The problem is that each professional does not want to limit himself to his professional limits. I met an architect who is so conversant with Orion which is a structural design software. Why does he use it when it is not his discipline. It is not to gain knowledge only, it is to make money of an architect as well as a structural engineer. This guarantees that he can be a jack of all trades and master of none while making twice as much money. The problem is that he cannot sign or seal the design under his name. Who takes structural responsibility of the design? An architect doing structural design is not just criminal, it is fraud. What i have never seen is a civil engr do is using archi cad or similar architectural responsibilities. Needless to say, I dont blame the professionals who encroach on each other, it is the construction industry that has not spelled the boundaries and enforced it. It s currently a free for all. 2 Likes 1 Share |

A well sufficient hand on experience should be acknowledged and to lead the team as the project manager. virtually all the stakeholders in the construction industry had the background of the other profession. I think its a thing of greed among Nigerians , when an architects designed he still wants to build, or when a structural engineers designed he still wants to build, even the cost engineer will tell you, he is to be the one to lead the team. but a team work leads to the success of the project which should be the goal of all hands to be on deck. Buildings cant collapse on paper, Let the specific bodies responsible for building management handle it thank you |
