The Problem

Why renovation without management always goes wrong

Without unified management, every party works for themselves. The designer steps away. The contractor builds their way. Nobody coordinates. Nobody is accountable for the result.

  • Understated quotes, inflated invoices
    Contractors underbid to win the project, then recover their margin through change orders you can't refuse once the build has started.
  • Materials swapped without telling you
    Specified finishes get replaced with cheaper alternatives. Without daily oversight, you won't know until it's done.
  • No single point of accountability
    5 contractors, 5 different answers. When something goes wrong, no one is responsible.
  • Your time wasted on their timeline
    You're busy. They know it. Delays compound when no one watches the schedule every day.

"I watched contractors systematically overcharge clients who trusted them. Understated scopes, fake change orders — this is the standard, not the exception. I chose to stand on the other side."

— Maksim Sinitenkov, Founder

Design and management
under one roof

Most clients need both: a design they love, and a build they can trust. We offer both — under one contract, with full transparency on every dirham spent. No handover between designers and contractors. No blame shifting. Just results.

The Story Behind Oversee
Maksim Sinitenkov
Founder & Owner's Representative

"I decided to stand on the owner's side — because that's where I'd want someone to stand for me."

I started in renovation at 18 in Saint Petersburg — working on apartments, learning every trade from the inside. After 8 years I built my own company, eventually managing 30+ projects in parallel.

When I moved to the UAE, I found the same problem at a much larger scale: clients with villas worth millions, completely exposed to a system that profits from their trust. Understated quotes, substituted materials, inflated change orders — I had seen it all from the inside, and chose not to be part of it.

Together with my wife Joly, who handles interior design, we now offer something rare: a family team that takes full responsibility for your project — from the first sketch to the final key.

Maksim identified three hidden line items in the contractor's quote before we signed anything. We saved 140,000 AED before construction even started.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before starting. Can't find your answer? Write to us directly.

Do you speak Russian?+

Yes. We are native Russian speakers and many of our clients communicate in Russian. All documentation, reports, and communication can be conducted in Russian or English — your choice.

How is your fee structured?+

Fixed percentage of budget: 10–20% on construction, 10–20% on procurement, 10–20% on furniture. All subcontractors are paid directly by you — we never hold project funds.

What exactly is owner representation?+

Owner representation means we act as your authorised agent. We hire contractors on your behalf, review invoices, manage the schedule, and make day-to-day decisions — so you don't have to. Unlike a contractor, we have no financial incentive to inflate your budget.

Do you offer interior design?+

Yes. Joly, our in-house ISD graduate designer, handles the full design concept — space planning, material selection, furniture specification, and 3D visualisation.

Can you work with my existing architect?+

Absolutely. We work alongside any design team. Our role is to manage execution and protect your interests — not replace your creative vision.

How do you handle authority approvals?+

We manage the full permits process: Dubai Municipality, developer NOCs, Trakhees, and Abu Dhabi authorities as required. We know the specific requirements for each zone after 3.5 years on this market.

I live outside UAE. Can you manage remotely?+

Yes — this is one of our core use cases. Weekly video walkthroughs, photo reporting, financial dashboards, and scheduled calls. All decisions are documented before execution. You stay fully informed without being on-site.

What is your minimum project size?+

AED 500,000. Below this, the economics of full professional oversight don't work well for either party. For smaller projects we're happy to recommend trusted alternatives.
