Aclerk of the works is usually compensated by the building
agency and is independent of theA/E and the contractor/
builder. The clerk is rarely the same person as the agency’s
representative, because the clerk’s role is related to the “nuts
and bolts” of design and construction, while the role of the
agency’s representative is related to providing information to
the A/E to ensure that training requirements will be met in
the constructed training center.
