Builder puts a point to a parson (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erector

'builder' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a point to a parson' is the wordplay.
'a point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'to a parson' becomes 'rector' (synonyms).
'e'+'rector'='ERECTOR'

'puts' is the link.

(Other definitions for erector that I've seen before include "One who puts (something) up" , "The individual raising" , "Builder" , "Constructor" , "Muscle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
