Owner Services / Renovation Oversight
Renovation & Cost Guard for foreign property owners
Independent planning, cost control and on-the-ground supervision for larger renovation projects – so your upgrade finishes on budget, on time and to the standard you expect.
- Scope and budget planning in clear English, quoted in USD.
- Comparison of contractor quotes and payment terms before you commit.
- On-site checks with photos & videos at key milestones.
- Snag list and handover review before you release the final payment.
What is included in Renovation & Cost Guard?
A structured way to plan, price and supervise larger upgrades without living in Turkey full-time.
Cost plan in USD
A realistic budget envelope in USD, including contingency, so you know whether the project makes sense before you start.
Quote & contractor review
Reviewing local quotes, flagging missing items, risky payment schedules and recommending a safer structure where needed.
Contract & payment guardrails
Helping you agree milestones, documentation and staged payments instead of paying most of the money upfront.
On-site checks & photos
Scheduled visits to check workmanship, send photos or short videos and push for corrections while work is ongoing.
Snag list & handover report
A simple punch list of remaining issues and a short English summary before you release final payments or sign off.
How is this different from Repair & Maintenance Subscription?
The subscription looks after day-to-day repairs and small fixes (leaks, minor breakdowns, routine issues). Renovation & Cost Guard is for larger, one-off upgrade projects such as new kitchens, bathrooms or full apartment refurbishments. Many owners use both services at different stages.

Who is this service for?
Clear expectations keep everyone happier. Here is when Renovation & Cost Guard makes sense.
A good fit if you:
- Live outside Turkey and cannot visit during the renovation.
- Plan a substantial upgrade (kitchen, bathroom or full apartment refresh).
- Feel uncomfortable transferring large sums without independent oversight.
- Want English summaries, photos and clear decisions at each milestone.
- Prefer fees to be quoted and invoiced in USD.
Probably not a fit if you:
- Only need help with small, ad-hoc repairs or appliance fixes.
- Expect us to act as the main contractor or design architect.
- Want guaranteed fixed-price outcomes regardless of scope changes.
- Prefer to negotiate and manage all contractors directly yourself.
