Who should supervise a building construction project?

The people who understand the intricacies of construction, should be the one to manage any construction project.

A building construction project should be supervised by a construction engineer because he is a professional in that line of business.

Till today in my country, the architects do not want to agree. They design and also want to build. They say that they understand load better because they did the complex mathematics that brought the design.

The civil engineer is the best person to supervise the construction project he had a proper knowledge

There is no other person who can do that job aside from civil engineer so it is still the civil engineer that owns that part.

The building construction should be supervised by a construction engineer.

The building construction should be supervised by a construction engineer.

It is the duty of the construction engineer to do such.

The truth is that the building industry has so many people that are doing power play. There is a Structural Engineer, a Civil Engineer,a building technologists, and an architect who all lay claim to being in charge of building constructions. I think a Structural Engineer and an Building Technologist have the most credible claims.

There is a power struggle between the architect and the civil engineer about who should supervise a building project. The architect feels he should do it because he designed the building. The civil engineer claims he is the one that understands the structural interpretation of the building.

I stand with the civil engineer. Who do you stand with?

It's very obvious that the civil engineer should supervise the building, the job of the architect ends on paper, the civil engineer guys understand deeply how structures behave when subjected to some kind of conditions so they are on a better position to supervise a building project.

The issue is that architects in my country do feel entitled to build since they came up with the plan. So many of them are structural engineer through trial and error.

I also believe that it is the job of architecture's to actually carry out such supervision because they have the professional knowledge on how to do it correctly.

Have you considered that there is also a building expert called building technologist? I believe a architect just needed to design. He can be part of the supervisory team to help them interpret the drawing design but can't be leading the construction team.
