General Contractor Consultant / Construction Quality Advisor

About Us

Silicon Valley Custom Homes is a residential construction company specializing in high-end custom homes, major remodels, and ADUs throughout the South Bay and Peninsula. We are focused on quality, compliance, and long-term durability, and we are building systems to consistently deliver top-tier results as we grow.

We are seeking a senior-level General Contractor consultant or former City/County Inspector with 10–20+ years of experience to serve as a construction quality advisor and mentor.

• 10+ years (15–20+ preferred) in residential construction or inspection
• Strong knowledge of:
  Framing, waterproofing, structural, MEP coordination
• California codes and local inspection practices
• High-end custom home construction
• Ability to clearly explain why something is right or wrong — not just point it out

• Construction Quality Oversight
• Perform periodic site walks at key construction phases (foundation, framing, MEP rough-ins, waterproofing, insulation, finishes)
• Review subcontractor work for code compliance, best practices, and build quality
• Identify deficiencies, risks, or shortcuts before they become costly issues
• Provide clear, practical correction guidance to PMs and subs
• Educate Project Managers and Superintendents on: proper sequencing of trades; common failure points in custom homes; inspection readiness and documentation; long-term performance and durability issues
• Conduct field training sessions, walk-through reviews, and post-inspection debriefs
• Help develop internal quality checklists and standards

• Code & Inspection Expertise
• Advise on California Residential Code, local amendments, and inspection expectations
• Prepare teams for city inspections and help reduce re-inspections
• Serve as a technical resource for complex or high-risk details

• Process Improvement
• Pre-inspection and turnover procedures
• Provide feedback to leadership on systemic issues and improvement opportunities

• Detail-oriented and quality-driven
• Respected by trades and field staff
• Strong communicator and mentor
• Practical, solutions-focused (not just theoretical)
• Comfortable working independently and advising leadership

• Site visits scheduled based on project phases
• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Hourly or retainer structure possible
• Long-term advisory role potential

• Influence the quality of multiple high-end projects
• Help shape and train the next generation of PMs and superintendents
• Work with a company that values doing things right, not just fast
• Flexible structure suited for seasoned professionals
