Clerk of Works
Upholding the highest quality standards for our clients
Involved from the inception of the project, we carry out inspections at the earliest stage to ensure all necessary works are considered and documented. As part of this the Clerk will monitor and record, ensuring that a controlled approach to good quality work takes place.
Our Clerks possess a thorough knowledge of construction inspection practices, including the ability to assess that both workmanship and materials meet required standards. We bring experience in Health & Safety best practices, together with the skills to accurately document and file reports to the required legislative standards and are trained in the obligations of all Contractors and Clients contributing to the project, providing sound and impartial advice that is 100% objective.
With extensive technical construction backgrounds, our team supports the construction process through detailed inspections during the construction programme, evaluating and verifying the specification, materials and workmanship, tracking defects and monitoring remedials, checking works against regulations and industry standards and communicating with all parties regularly.
We play a critical role in quality assurance, ensuring works are delivered to the highest standards by including the following:
- Reviewing construction drawings and schedules of works
- Conducting site inspections and producing site reports
- Recording measurements as required
- Attending site and project meetings
- Checking and monitoring regulatory compliance
- Identifying and reporting potential project delays
- Undertaking defects inspections and reporting
- Supervisory works on-site
With a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach, our Clerk of Works and Site Inspectors help ensure that projects meet client expectations while maintaining the highest construction and compliance standards.
