ποΈ YOU WILL LEARN THE HARD WAYβ¦ IF YOU IGNORE THIS! π
Architectural design is not just a drawing β it is the foundation of proper building planning.
Before you start constructing your dream house, make sure you have a professionally prepared building plan and obtain the required development/building approval.
Why is this important?
π 1. IT GUIDES THE ARTISANS
The architectural drawings provide clear information about the building layout, dimensions, elevations, spaces and specifications, helping artisans execute the work according to the intended design.
ποΈ 2. IT IS PART OF THE GOVERNMENT APPROVAL PROCESS
Government planning authorities require building plans and professional drawings to assess proposed developments before construction. In Oyo State, for example, building-plan approval is required before construction, and applications include architectural and engineering drawings.
π‘οΈ 3. IT HELPS PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY
The approval process helps ensure that proposed buildings comply with applicable building regulations, planning standards and safety requirements.
π 4. IT ENSURES PROPER PLANNING OF THE SITE
The authorities can assess issues such as setbacks, access, parking, ventilation, lighting, drainage, building use and the relationship between the proposed building and its surroundings.
βοΈ 5. IT KEEPS YOUR DEVELOPMENT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LAW
Starting construction without the required development/building approval can expose a property owner to sanctions. Oyo State, for instance, states that construction should not commence without building-plan approval.
π° 6. IT CAN SAVE YOU FROM COSTLY MISTAKES
Changing walls, rooms, plumbing arrangements, electrical installations or other elements after construction has started can waste both materials and money.
DONβT JUST BUY LAND AND START BUILDING.
PLAN IT. DESIGN IT. GET THE REQUIRED APPROVAL. THEN BUILD IT RIGHT.
Because the cheapest mistake to correct is the one you prevent before laying the first block.
