Retaining walls are fairly commonplace in construction, but the best way to find a builder with experience is to call and ask a contractor or builder if he or she can provide the service. I would recommend calling local contractors (look them up in the phone book or online) and asking whether they build retaining walls and ask for estimates.

How close can you build a retaining wall to a building?
As close as you want it too. Several considerations to be had: one consideration is the drainage that will collect at the base of the retaining wall, second is the construction type of the building to be protected (what are the building's exterior finishes? are they compatible with the materials of the retaining wall?), third, will the close proximity of the wall allow its construction.
What is inverse proportion?
Inverse proportion is when one value increases, as the other decreases. For example the number of builders building a wall and the number of days it takes to build a wall are 2 quantities in inverse proportion because the more builders there are, the less time it takes to build the wall (there are more people working on it, so it will be built quickly). As the number of builders increases, the number of days to build the wall decreases. This is inverse proportion.

Consider incorporating decorative elements or using different textures and colors to enhance the visual appeal of the wall. Regular maintenance and inspection are also important to ensure the wall remains in good condition over time.
