What are the requirements for on-site supervisors?
All general contractors and specialized trade contractors are required to designate a supervisor who must obtain the required supervisor’s certificate and who will be personally responsible for overseeing the work authorized under the license they are associated with. The supervisor is required to be on-site and to personally supervise the work on a regular basis throughout the entire construction or installation process and to assure that the construction or installation is done without substantial departure from the drawings and specifications filed and approved by the City as specified on the permit. When exempt specialized trade subcontractors are used by a licensed specialized trade contractor, the qualified supervisor, in addition to the supervision requirements listed above, must be readily available and present on the project site full-time where such subcontracted work is being performed to ensure that when completed such work fully conforms to applicable code(s).
