I personally think before you allow any tenant into your house there should be a written agreement of how the rents are to be paid. For example 6 - 12 months even more payments in advance or monthly payment in advance and also deposits in case of anything been destroyed in the apartments. There should be an agreement on eviction as well. If you have stubborn tenants, who claim he/she is too big to comply to the agreement, you also have to be stubborn. Get thugs from the street to evict them. The Landlord has to be very careful about the pretense that she sold the house on a written documents. Hmmmm, O'boy that is very dangerous even if the people concerned (pretend buyers) are her siblings, they can take it authentic and the poor Landlord concerned will loose her house. Get thugs from the street to evict them enough is enough. Is better she lock the place without tenants than people occupying without payments.

Thank you so much Mr Megapro. The supervision charge I stated above is not for the brake down you mentioned. I have to pay for every token that is required for Material, pay for skill and unskilled laborer. The charges is for the architect to come to site take a look of what is going on if they are properly done. He will do the pegging (setting out) I will pay those that will assist him differently and he will collect his 80k for that. Every other thing, He will come to see if the digging is up to 3m or as it should be. He will supervise the footing, bricklayers work as well as concrete slab. On that he will collect 220K. That means altogether that will go into his pocket will be 300k. Hence, I am here for advice as I have zero idea about the issue completely.

Thank you so much Mr Faridasr. This is exactly what I want to hear, for the fact I have zero idea of what the cost should be. I didn't come on this site to condemned the beautiful architectural works the guy has been doing but just to know what range of prices we should agree on. Not just for me but also for him. Everyone works to make profit and one needs not to spend excessively to get exactly what he wants. Unfortunately, this site is completely poising and turning the trust I had on the Architect. To the extent I almost gave the contract to someone who called himself a structural engineer. In a long run I discovered he has no qualification as an engineer. I engaged with him merely on conversations to know his method statement. He was telling me something strange in the building industry as well as condemning the work of the architect. I took his statement for verification, by well know structural engineer. I was advised he has no qualification as a structural engineer. I should give him distance. I am really please with your advice Faridasr. I think I have got exactly what I am looking for here. Thank you everyone for your contributions. For people like me be very careful who handles your projects "before you spend that money"

Thank you so much Mr Ugo99. I am fully discouraged of this site. A lot on this site are fake. They claimed they are Structural engineers only to discovered ordinary roadsides bricklayers are far better than them. The architects they are condemning are far better than them. They carry fake certificates up and down. I will never fall victim of their fraudulence and deceits.

You talk with her 57 minutes. Definitely you knew she has someone. What exactly were you discussing. Now she gives you an open door. I am very sure the omoge is a girlfriend of your very best friend, hence you are now confuse.............Trouble makers

Thank you very much Mr Teebawse for your concern. I tried to get in touch with Mr Paul. Very unfortunate, he couldn't explain himself to my satisfaction, who he is in the building industry. In his words, as it is till running in my brain: "I do electric, I do welding, I do water ......." I think Mr Paul could be a Jack of all trade and end up being a master of none. He doesn't even know you Mr Teebawse.

Thank you Mr Adegbulugbe for your respond. But how are you going to manage the project when you are base in PH.

I will be delighted Mr Tee. to have the contacts. Thanks a million

Thanks Mike, I will try your advice. Do you know any reliable structural engineer in Benin City please?

Thank all for your respond so far. Architect is charging me 220k. I think that is a load of money but I don't know exactly what the cost should be. For pegging he charges me 80k. Location is in Edo State

Please, can anyone help me to estimate, what should be a good price for an architect to supervise a foundation of 2storey building of 6flats (each 3 bedrooms)as well as soakaways
