Resident is the key word for Resident Engineer and Resident Architect they where the people on site to ensure the building was constructed in accordance with the design, in the day's of the RE and RA it was a requirement of becoming qualified to have spent at least six months on a project to learn the practical building methods, not just the design carried out in the office, this unfortunately does not happen anymore and I think construction is worse off for it.Registered is the key word, of course.
Maybe these days it's just stick to R Electrician.
It always has been R Archangel........coz only god can 'lay a finger' on the architect.
