I contacted a building engineer to supervise a one storey building project. It's actually a small building: it'll be 3 bedrooms, sitting room, and kitchen.

He is asking for N20k daily pay for supervision. Which will be over N1.2million by completion. Mind you, this is in my village in Anambra state.

My question is, does it make sense? How much in total should I budget to pay an engineer to supervise a small one storey building project?

Pay him his 20k per day or employ an incompetent fellow to do the job and pay like 10k and get a chaotic job that you will need to keep fixing

I'm not building in Lagos or Abuja. I'm building in my village in Anambra, so I think it should be cheaper.

it's not about location but quality, if you want something ordinary then go for a mason

Thanks for your response. I think I'll settle for 10k with him. The project is sited in a village. He is not a graduate engineer, just a former bricklayer who got into building.
