MEP Clerk of Works - Build-Insights Hosts Pete Bertans MICWCI

Build-Insights Podcast | Pete Bertans MICWCI on Life as an MEP Clerk of Works (and the Work of the ICWCI) In this episode of Build-Insights, host Ben Bushell sits down with Pete Bertans MICWCI for a practical, no-nonsense deep dive into what it really means to work as an MEP Clerk of Works—and why the role is becoming increasingly important as projects demand higher standards of quality, compliance, and coordination. Pete shares his journey into the profession, including his time working on projects for the Royal Mail, and how that experience shaped his approach to assurance, inspections, and getting the fundamentals right. We explore what “good” looks like on site for MEP works, the everyday challenges Clerks of Works face, and the habits that separate effective site assurance from box-ticking. A key part of our conversation focuses on Pete’s work with the Institute of Clerks of Works and Construction Inspectorate (ICWCI). Pete explains what the Institute stands for, how it supports Clerks of Works and Construction Inspectors, and why professional standards, ethics, and continuing development matter—especially as expectations around building quality and accountability continue to rise. We also discuss Pete’s roles within the ICWCI, what he’s helping to drive forward, and how the Institute is strengthening the profession through guidance, learning, and community. You’ll hear Pete break down how he applies his skills in the MEP environment—covering everything from installation quality and testing and commissioning readiness, to snagging strategy, documentation, and communication across trades. We also talk about how to build trust with project teams while staying independent, how to report issues with clarity and impact, and the common defects Pete sees repeatedly—plus how to prevent them before they become expensive problems. If you’re a Clerk of Works, Construction Inspector, work closely with site quality and compliance, or you’re exploring a career in construction quality and compliance, the ICWCI is a valuable professional home—supporting members through training, CPD, technical guidance, events, and professional recognition. https://www.icwci.org/
