In many architecture circles, we get a lot of questions surrounding the how-tos. Few books display this in a straight-to-the-point, concise way. Many great books have the core information hidden in layers of text and exposition. This is great, but the essence of the Naija Architect guide is to stay on course and not bore readers with the intricacies of the traditional exposition

The book helps Architects of all ages who intend to practice in Nigeria know what to do when starting a design project. It is a guide, not a rule; it must be tailored to fit the peculiarities of individual design projects. The guide is based on best practices for running design projects in Nigeria. The book uses bullet points to show steps that a practicing architect or designer must take when executing projects.

The book aims to help architects with confidence; knowledge is power. With power, the wielder can make a grand entry, know who they are, and what they are worth, demand their appropriate fees, and be skilled with tools to enable them to know what they ought to do “when a design project is thrown at you”.
