site agent

Technicians, usually architects or engineers, who work on a construction site to monitor the construction process and make corrections when problems occur.

The technician works at the construction site to follow the building process. Architects and engineers are usual examples, rather than a requirement that the role always have one particular professional title.

Construction auditing checks or oversees contractors' work, while the site agent provides the on-site technical monitoring and correction described above. Project management has the distinct owner-representation and liaison function.
