Record 1 2017-01-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Execution of Work (Construction)
CONT

Construction Inspection. Once work is under way, the architect inspects construction, as necessary, to check progress of work, assure compliance with contract requirements, and guide the contractor in interpretation of the contract documents for full performance of his contract.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Exécution des travaux de construction
DEF

Chacune des inspections que l'architecte vient faire, à intervalles réguliers ou non, pour remplir sa mission de surveillance des travaux.

CONT

Les visites régulières de chantier, généralement groupées avec les réunions, auront plutôt pour but le contrôle de l'avancement que celui de l'exécution proprement dite. Ces visites étant attendues, et leur déroulement se produisant souvent sur un itinéraire déterminé, facilitent trop, en effet, le camouflage de ce que l'entrepreneur ou son chef de chantier tient particulièrement à ne pas montrer. Le maître de l'œuvre ne se prive d'ailleurs généralement pas de visites impromptues qui lui donnent un reflet plus réel de l'activité courante des entreprises.
