HUD Inspector

Bentonville, TX
Contracted to Full Time
Mid Level

Location: Bentonville, AR

Employment Type: Independent Contractor / Part time


About the Role:

Aoka is seeking an experienced Monthly Construction Inspector to independently monitor and document construction progress on HUD-insured multifamily housing projects.

This role is ideal for experienced professionals looking to earn additional income alongside their full-time career. Each project requires only one inspection per month, with a total time commitment of approximately 3 hours or less per inspection, including travel time.

You will conduct a monthly site inspection, review project documentation, verify progress, document findings, and prepare an objective report for HUD, the owner, and lender. This is an observation and reporting role and does not involve directing contractors, supervising construction, or performing code enforcement.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Attend the monthly Owner-Architect-Contractor (OAC) meeting on-site.
  • Coordinate with the superintendent, general contractor, architect of record, owner representatives, and other project stakeholders.
  • Conduct a comprehensive monthly site walkthrough to evaluate progress against the approved construction schedule and Schedule of Values.
  • Review monthly draw requests, construction progress reports, project costs, pay applications, and supporting documentation in relation to work completed.
  • Monitor project progress and identify potential schedule delays or significant project risks.
  • If a project falls 10% or more behind schedule, document the cause and assist the project team in developing a recovery plan for HUD.
  • Conduct Davis-Bacon prevailing wage interviews, verify worker classifications, and document findings when required.
  • Capture comprehensive progress photographs that clearly document project status. Photos must be organized and properly captioned.
  • Maintain and update project records in VertexPlans, Aoka's proprietary reporting and inspection platform. Training will be provided. Additional compensation for training will be provided.
  • Prepare clear, objective monthly reports covering:
    • Overall site conditions
    • Construction milestones achieved
    • Percentage of completion
    • Schedule compliance
    • Significant observations
    • Potential risks or concerns
  • Maintain professional independence and objectivity when working with the owner, lender, contractor, architect, and HUD.


Required Qualifications:

  • Minimum 4 years of multifamily inspection experience is required. Candidates must have experience with site inspections or observations, construction progress monitoring, and project documentation. Applicants must identify relevant multifamily projects, including the project location, unit count, dates, role, and responsibilities and provide to us for SF330 approval with HUD.
  • Relevant experience may include:
    • NSPIRE Inspection
    • HUD Inspection
    • REAC Inspection
    • Multifamily Housing Inspection
    • Building Inspection
    • Code Inspection
    • Combination Inspection
    • Construction Inspection
    • Architecture / Architectural Services


Compensation:

$300 - $450 per inspection

  • Each inspection typically takes less than 2 hours to complete.
  • Compensation is provided on a per-inspection basis.
  • Total compensation will vary depending on travel time to job site.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
