Yes, if the architect had been any good. With where he's at now, he'd just appreciate an all round experienced/practical builder looking over his shoulder now and again, and on the end of the phone. He's expecting to pay, of course.

My brother, with no building experience, is building three gites in a field south of Lannemezan (near Heches). One of which he'll live in until he has more cash. He is looking for someone to keep him right - a few site visits at crucial stages, be on the end of the phone when needed, that kind of thing. Can anyone out there help? The foundations are almost out of the ground already but he's worried he's going to make serious mistakes unless he gets some ongoing guidance/advice from someone with a lot more experience. They are building with concrete block, clad in stone. Thanks!
