Well, I was on the construction site almost every day. Sometimes I just took a quick look, exchanged a few words with the craftsmen. But not when I noticed they were under "pressure." I hope that I never gave the impression that I wanted to supervise but rather that I admired the fast progress, appreciated the quality of the work, etc. I often expressed this exactly the same way.
My sister-in-law took care of the catering, bringing coffee and stuff to the construction site almost every day (which, fortunately, is only about 1 km away from the office / apartment / house). Sometimes we cleared away the leftover wood in the evenings (I now think about 4-5 m³). There were also occasional days when we took care of tidying up the construction site because it got dark and wet and we had the opportunity.
Sometimes we also quickly went to the construction site when the master carpenter on-site had questions (more like comments / suggestions for improvement) about certain DIY tasks or subcontracted work. But it is also certain that "our" general contractor pays his people properly. I can hardly demand "involvement" or even "thinking along" from an underpaid employee.
Our construction went almost perfectly, you could also say: "we were lucky." The few minor issues (I still see it that way regarding window installation; we are the one-eyed among the blind in terms of installation quality) don’t annoy me anymore anyway.
