The theory is that the clerk of works will be a tower of strength, a fount of wisdom, and provide practical hints on a day‐to‐day basis. There are two kinds of clerks of works. Those who spend most time in the clerk of works cabin, snug and warm with an electric fire and a mug of contractor’s tea in close attendance and always ready to answer the phone on the second ring. Then there are those who are out inspecting the work. The relationship between architect and clerk of works in that instance has been said to be like that between the captain of a ship and the chief petty officer, and the architect’s liability for inspection may be reduced by around 20%. Proper validation of the qualifications of clerks of works by the Institute of Clerk of Works should be an essential condition of employment.
