The cost of architectural drawing in Nigeria – The Nigerian Institute of Architect stipulated 8% charges for the total project cost for architectural services and architectural drawing in Nigeria; however, it is unfortunate that the economic situation of the country has affected the system so much that architectural fees and the cost of architectural drawing in Nigeria are negotiated in the open market, forcing new entrants into the profession to compromise standards and consequently value.
The price of architectural drawing in Nigeria now varies from person to person based on several factors, including the complexity of the project, the reputation and experience of the architect, and the location of the project.

A good architectural drawing encompasses a combination of functional, aesthetic, and sustainable elements to create a comfortable and efficient living space. When we talk about functionality, we are talking about the efficient use of space in your house. Every room and area is designed with a purpose and optimized for functionality. There must be a thoughtful arrangement of rooms to ensure a smooth and logical flow between different spaces.
The importance of ventilation and natural light in a building cannot be over-emphasized. This is more so in Africa where we have hot weather condition. Designing spaces to allow for the flow of fresh air, promoting a healthy indoor environment and maximizing natural light to create a bright and inviting atmosphere is of utmost importance in a design.
One of the most omitted design principles by inexperienced designers is cost effectiveness. They sit down and make drawings based on their imagination and beauty alone without considering the cost implication, efficient use of resources and cost-effective construction methods and materials. A good house design or architectural drawing should incorporate features that contribute to energy savings and reduced maintenance costs over time.
Ultimately, a good house design is one that meets the specific needs and preferences of its occupants while considering sustainability, functionality, and aesthetics.
