Who enforces discipline and order among the workers performing the work?

• A. The architect
• B. The contractor
• C. The owner
• D. The building official

Answer: (B)

On-site supervision and maintaining order with the workforce are responsibilities of the party actually carrying out the construction work—the contractor. The contractor directs how the work is done, supervises the crew, coordinates subcontractors, and enforces on-site discipline to keep the project moving safely and according to the contract. The architect’s job is design and contract administration, not daily supervision of workers. The building official enforces building codes and regulations rather than managing on-site discipline, and the owner does not supervise the crew. So the contractor is the one who enforces discipline and order among the workers.
