Clerk of works - The role
1 The role, to this day, is based on the impartiality of the clerk of works in
ensuring that value for money for the client - rather than the contractor - is
achieved through rigorous and detailed inspection of materials and
workmanship throughout the building process

Clerk of works - The role
1 The clerk of works is a very isolated profession on site. He/she is the person that must ensure
quality of both materials and workmanship and, to this end, must be absolutely impartial and independent in decisions and judgements.
He/she cannot normally, by virtue of the quality role, be employed by the contractor - only the client, normally by the architect on
behalf of the client. His/her role is not to judge, but simply to report all occurrences that are
relevant to the role.
