Mr. Hubert Loftus:

The role of a clerk of works is to support the employer’s representative, ER, function. That function is typically carried out by the architect. The clerk of works is a support role because the clerk is there on a full-time basis whereas an architect might only visit the site every week or so. The clerk is able to provide records and clarify issues or queries that an architect might have about the project.
