Must I Engage An Architect? by filcast(op): 6:58am On Jul 31, 2016
I plan to commence a house project to accommodate my family. My friend has given me (free)the house plan made by his architect for his building, and I love the house.
I want to just call a builder to build same for me and save N100k architect fees.
Is anything wrong with my decision?

you'll need an approved design but if the design is complete with your name on it, you can submit it for approval. I'm a builder though...

The moral thing to do is to inform the Architect of your intention of using his design for your project and pay him a token. That's not gonna hurt. He might even help you in interpreting the drawings better or give a modified design which is gonna be better than your friend's...
