Good morning House.

Please what is the likely cost to pay an Engineer as Supervision and Labour Fee for a 4 bedroom duplex from Foundation to Parapet.

Property is located in Anambra State and the Owner buys all materials while the Engineer is in charge of Labour/supervision.

Thank you

I don't really understand the first part and I don't have any relationship with the Engr.

Meanwhile, all the materials are not available on ground and will be bought in piecemeal. Just want to negotiate his fees before they start work.

You can pick a reliable architect from any location to deliver the building plan n structural plan . Then get an engineer/contractor in benin to execute the plan.


What I'm asking,hiring an engineer seem like a waste of money,I plan to pay only the architect,can the brick layers work with the plan of the architect? Or can I pay the architect to monitor the project as an engineer too?

I'm trying to avoid unnecessary waste of money.

With all due respect this argument is flawed.

Every fiber of my being is being restrained from pouring invectives on you.

You have inadvertently given out vibes that you are either uneducated or are educated but care more about money than moral values or doing the right thing

Okay sir,I will hire both but in the architectural design there are certain things i will tell the architect I don't need,and also I will also be in charge of the buying of materials like cement and the rest.

The building will be a circular or egg shaped building,No inbuilt wardrobe,just bathroom and space for washing sink,I like the interior off the room to be simple, because the land is 50/100 the circular building design may not work so I may go for egg shaped building,I want something different from the normal rectangular shaped buildings.

No point going on and on Bro, You need to tell your Idea to and Architect, he/she will design the hose and generate a plan, An Engineer has to interpret the plan and put it on the ground, If the plan is generated from your Ideas and you are enlightened a bit on the Engineering field then you can delve into supervising, if not just supervise your pocket and Employ these persons to crack on. Architect MUST ENGINERR/BUILDER MUST
