The Clerk of Works, or Site Inspector, is an on-site representative of the Client responsible for monitoring the works and providing quality control to ensure that construction is compliant with the design and specification and is in accordance with good construction practice.
The Clerk of Works can be described as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the Client and Project Manager on site.
