- Whilst the Project Manager is the focal point of the contract, and it is their duty to manage the contract on behalf of the Employer (to achieve the Employer's'objectives with regard to budget, programme, quality), the Supervisor performs an independent role in regard to the quality of the works.
- The Supervisor is accountable for the issue of some instructions direct to the Contractor, but this is limited to ensure clarity of instruction and intentions and that the Project Manager is aware of all issues (such instructions are limited to Search for a Defect).
