HUD Construction Inspector

  Location: San Antonio, Texas

Job Overview:

Aoka is seeking a qualified inspector for a HUD-insured multifamily apartment project. As the owner's and lender's objective representative on the project, your responsibility is to observe, document, and report construction progress. You will not direct the contractor's means and methods or perform code enforcement. Instead, you will provide independent, accurate reporting that supports HUD's oversight of the project. The reports you prepare become part of the official project documentation submitted to HUD.

Key Responsibilities:

• Attend the monthly meeting on-site

• Coordinate with the superintendent, general contractor, architect of record, owner representatives, and other project stakeholders

• Perform a comprehensive monthly walkthrough of the construction site to evaluate progress against the approved construction schedule and Schedule of Values

• Review monthly draw requests, construction progress reports, project costs, and supporting documentation relative to work completed

• Identify schedule delays and evaluate whether the project is trending behind schedule. If progress falls 10% or more behind, document the cause and work with the project team to develop a recovery plan for HUD

• Conduct Davis-Bacon prevailing wage interviews with construction laborers, verify worker classifications, and document findings

• Capture comprehensive progress photographs, ensuring photos are organized, properly captioned, and clearly document project status

• Maintain and update project records within VertexPlans, Aoka's proprietary reporting platform (training provided)

• Prepare clear, objective monthly reports summarizing: Overall site conditions, Construction milestones achieved, Percentage of completion, Schedule compliance, and Significant observations and potential risks

• Maintain professional independence while serving as the objective representative for the owner, lender, and HUD

Required Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience on multifamily construction projects (required). Applicants should identify the multifamily projects they have worked on, their role, and the approximate unit count

• Working knowledge of Construction schedules, Schedules of Values, Draw requests and pay applications, and Construction documentation preferred

• Ability to travel to the project site once per month

• Ability to safely walk active construction sites, including uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, and partially completed structures while wearing required personal protective equipment (PPE).

• Experience with HUD-insured or HUD-assisted multifamily projects (Section 220, 221(d)(4), 223(f), or similar programs) preferred

• Experience conducting Davis-Bacon prevailing wage interviews preferred
