Job Description Domestic Construction & Building Control Technical Advisor (Remote)
We’re a design-led architectural practice working exclusively on domestic extensions and renovation projects — and we’re looking for an experienced technical professional to support our team when real-world construction questions arise.
Our designers are strong, but many lack deep on-site experience. When something unexpected happens on site, or when Building Control asks for very specific construction detail, we need someone we can turn to for clear, practical, compliant advice .
This role is 100% remote , freelance , and paid hourly . No site visits. No production drawing workload. Just problem-solving and guidance where it matters.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll act as a technical sounding board for our team, helping resolve issues such as:
Unexpected ground conditions or existing services uncovered on site
Elements that have been built incorrectly and need a practical fix
Contractor questions around buildability
Building Control requests for detailed section drawings and junctions
General “how should this actually be built?” queries
Support will typically involve reviewing sketches, drawings, photos, or short descriptions and advising on buildable, regulation-compliant solutions .
Most communication will be via Slack , with the occasional short call if helpful.
Project scope
This role is domestic only , including:
House extensions
Renovations and refurbishments
Loft conversions
Small residential alterations
No commercial projects.
How the role works
Freelance / consultant basis
Paid hourly
Ad-hoc support as needed
Fully remote
Long-term relationship
Who this suits
This role is ideal for someone who has spent years dealing with real buildings, real sites, and real compliance issues , such as:
Former Building Control Officer or Approved Inspector
Senior Architectural Technologist or Technical Architect
Clerk of Works or site-focused technical consultant
Former Technical Director / Technical Lead
You don’t need to be producing CAD drawings — you do need to be confident explaining how things should be built and why.
Why people like this role
No site travel
No deadlines or project management
No drawing production
Flexible involvement
High-impact advice using your experience
