Here's the thing, you don't hand over another Architect's design to be modified by another Architect. That's simply fraud in the professional sense. You only do that when the original designer has signed off completely from the project. Trust me you and the client can be sued.

Hence you DEMAND the originator of the design make the modification and coordinate with other disciplines effecting all the changes in all their Models/Drawings.

If you're going to be a professional contractor, it's good you understand these things to avoid litigation in future.

exactly my thoughts now making the second architect seem like the hero when most crucial and significant part of the planning was taken care off by the first.

Interesting!

My major concern was patronizing such a low-budget Architect in the first place. The initial design lacked finesse like what I'd expect from an apprentice's first stab at house plan. I would have recommended tying him to a pole and giving him 24 lashes as if he took mkpurumiri. Of course, he could have been contracted to modify the design. But I bet he would have come up with something worse making it double wahala for dead body.

it happens like that most times, there's no perfect design or maybe the payment wasn't satisfactory to the architect hence he dished out that design like that or maybe coz of time factor. Some clients are impatient and good designs takes time and patience.

You're bringing a disrepute to your name and your brand.

yes true however not every architect can afford that, especially those without side hustles.

and that's why they will remain subpar contractors forever.

As everyone is complaining about his job now,no one from this thread will ask for his contact.

One of my clients was joking with me on a phone conversation, he told me "Spyder, it seems you are paying these boys too much money, if not, they would have since returned from the village"
