My name is Osarenkhoe Osayanmon and am a Civil Engineer with enough experience in design and building. I have worked as a building consultant for some time now and supervised some projects on my own from start to finish. I want to share my experience and ideas with you guys. I can be reached via 08068280130 anytime.


I end up correcting 70% of any architectural drawing given to me to develop. The reason is because architect drawings are almost always not achievable or realistic.
Yeah they look so beautiful on paper and their 3d awesome.

Stay tuned and pick no offence but learn
Thank you Nairaland

Are you aware of the 6meters set back you must allow for when building close to a road sir?
wilcox:
[b][/b]You should have enough space between d road and fence. Just in case your governor decides to expand the road in future.
I quite disagree with you on this, and I will give you my reasons. If my building plan is approved by the ministry of urban development and I follow the plan, if any government decide to expand or carry out any construction on the road that will affect my building then appropriate compensation should be paid. It's only in Nigeria that you see individual developers going to develop an area without the master plan of that area. The best practice is for the government to map out all available infrastructure. E.g access road, drainage, walk way, electric line etc.

Mind u, Architects are not limited to drawings. Their major role is to ensure full implementation of what is on paper i.e supervision. Civil Engineers should go and face Bridges, culverts, etc
Barselonia:

civil engineer supervise the building tech in carrying out the drawing drawn by the architect.....
civil engineer interpreted both the architectural and structural drawing for the build tech to carry out....


i stand to be corrected ooo


but nowaday no different.... everybody is engineer

I'm really impressed with all these observations. But frankly speaking, we have many quacks or CAD drafters whom ddnt go to school of Architecture @ol or have little/No experience. More so, i feel clients have a lot to contribute in this aspect too, because they always want anything CHEAP without considering the consequences, So they end up falling into wrong hands who are mere CAD DRAFTERS. Our building agencies don't do their homework as well, because there are ethics in the building industry too. I can't imagine them (building agencies) approving a design without proper check on all the necessary requirements.
My advice are these:
1. Clients should check for architects portfolio before assigning him to design.
2. Every site has its unique features, some clients are fund of buying designs from clients or quacks without knowing their site analysis. Instead of inviting an Architect to design.
3. Architects should get a brief from client, study it well to know if all will fit in the site.
4. Set backs should be provided, depending on the building agency requirements.
5. Building Agencies should check drawings before approval..........
...............

Good point there!
However, most of the building professionals in government agencies are ill-equipped. Many of whom only have shady knowledge about their individual professions.

There is no doubt, the construction industry is growing per day, equipping these government agencies with first-hand knowledge would have helped in correcting foul plays in the built environment professions.

..... Bro, I dnt say much but I want 2 say 2 u dat, wen it comes 2 designing of building drawings, one must work wit measurement/unit for dimensioning of various plans in d drawing .... Let me sight an instance, a client tells d dude 2 use 6'' block to design his building, how can d dude show d size of d block in d floor plan if he couldn't or doesn't knw how 2 convert 4rm ( inches- mm )? Bcox, d unit for dimensioning comes in (mm) form.... so my bro one in-ability 2 convert 4rm one unit 2 another could as well be used as a yardstick to determine if he/she is realy good or not. On d other hand, wen it comes 2 construction of a structure ! One has 2 be fully experienced in other 4 him/she 2 erect/supervised.... For one going 2 d net 4 online tutorial nd so on.. Isn't enough bro.... 4 it has 2 b knowledge nd experience included. I greet u bro


In fact, if a so called professional cannot convert dimensions or at the least use the handset for speedy conversion, such is no better than the road side artisans
