A clerk of works should be able to deal with much of the routine inspection after the architect has made clear what standards are required by the particular specification, leaving the architect to make spot checks on those items. If the architect suspects that the contractor is lacking in competence or experience, or if there is evidence of poor workmanship, it is the architect's duty to inspect with greater rigour. There should be a provision for the contractor to give all necessary assistance to enable the architect to safely inspect roofing and other potentially dangerously situated work. Most contracts allow the architect to order the contractor to open up work that is covered and to carry out testing of materials such as concrete or bricks. Supervision not only covers inspection, but also the issuing of detailed directions regarding the execution of the Works.
