Making use of right words is paramount as someone seeking customers. If your already satisfied, i dont think u will be on this thread. Talking carelessly is not going to benefit u , just hv a way around words,being little diplomatic wont hurt

I wish we could have a thread of threads to pin these wonderful posts to.

But it’ll be filled with nonsensical adverts and pompous posts as usual.

Thanks for sharing and reminding us on what this thread is supposed to be about.

Let me school you
Buying material first thing get the name of the material and product
Go price it out after making the deal
Now you can take your trade person there to ensure it's the quality you are buying
If you take trade people with you for the first time, the product might cost you N100 or more for each piece
behind you
the trade man will raise one or two fingers up for the seller to increase the price by the number of fingers

Hello house.
Pls any idea of the avg price for architectural drawing of a building, say 4 flats of 3br each or a 4br duplex. Is the price same or would be different?.

2ndly what range is the avg for architectural drawings alone and then the complete drawings with certified Mechanical ,electrical, civil drawings etc included

There is no specific fees for architectural,structural,electrical or mechanical drawings .It depends on ur power of negotiation and affordability!

Hello sir, its nomal here in lagos. They where at my site last month before i cast my decking and we negotiated. They gave me a bill of 300k here at ajah, i negotiated 100k, gave them 50k and pleaded to pay the Balance later on.
U see, u were suppose to get an approval with your structural detailing drawing before u commerce with the job. If they shuld seal up ur property u wil pay the 250k for unseal and then even pay for the so called approval. My advise will be to negotiate with them. sometimes engineers knows this, but because of the requirements and timing to gettig this approval, they rather just commerce with the construction and settle the field agents, speaking from experience as am into build and sell. Hope this helps.


U paid unregistered fee of 50k wen ur building is sealed i bet u bfor u complete d project dose dat collect 50k frm.u will set up.anoda group to come asking u for more money nd dat amount u will use to bribe will cover d fee for ur approval,,,If ur building is sealed work to their office ask dem for documents to b submitted get d first sets of document dey request for such as stability/indermnity letter,ndt ,soil test were applicable within d first seven days if u get dis nd submit to d district offifer u will b ur penalty fee will b waived,,,u will b given a tolerrance to proceed and submit d drawings witin a stipulated time,,,(2weeks may)and if u may give tips let it b d district officer or deputy,,,if u pay money or give bribe to d junior officer and brag bfor him after couples of junior officer frustrate u by sending more groups,,,IF THE DISTRICT OFFICE IS THE TYPE DAT IS AGGRESSIVE THEY WILL DRIL U BADLY,,,u will b demand to submit d architect,structural engrs,electrical ,mechanical engr (were applicable ) letter of completion wit attached certifate of dose mentioned above,,,NON of d above proffessional hardly submit such certifate unless is a project dey design and personally supervised .B wise and careful wen dealing wit dis scout staffs of LABSCA they will deny ur allegations and their boss will support dem,,Am speaking frm personal experiences!
