With my experience in the construction of my store and the repairs in our house, I would say that an engineer is not exactly needed as long as I know the ways and means of the construction. All I did was to hire a carpenter and mason plus laborers to do the job. I did the supervision and I was proud that I did it right. Don't get me wrong. I have some experience in the construction because I was observing all the works in our ancestral home when I was younger.
A 3-story building is being constructed on the lot beside our property. The work started December of 2019 so it is now 2 years in the making. There was no engineer and the supervisor is just well versed with the construction. The architectural plan was okay and was created by a legit architect. Maybe the supervisor knows the job but he doesn't know the sequencing. There is a tree beside the corner post of the building that remains until now. The worker doing the finishing of the post is having a hard time with the cramped space. I learned that the tree will be removed. There are also problems in the flooring that the ground floor flooring was demolished to give way to the tiles. Oh, such a botched job that would take too long. The lot is only 500 square meters so the building is not really too big. The problem? There is no engineer.
