Your build, without running it.
For owners who live abroad, travel a lot, or simply have a full-time job. We go to the site and the meetings for you. Once a week you get one brief, and you answer with a yes or a no.

Your decision reaches your contractor in writing. It stays yours.
You set limits when you sign. Inside them, we pass on what you've decided, the same day. Above them, it comes back to you. Pick one and watch.
A weekly call, at a time that suits you.
Pick where you are and when suits you. Here's when we'd be on the phone, in Dubai.
An example. We agree your call time with you when you sign, and you can change it any week.
What Hands-off is, and what it never becomes.
Hands-off adds what you'd do yourself if you had the time. It never turns us into your project manager.

Before you ask.
Is Hands-off only for owners who live abroad?
No. It's for anyone who can't, or doesn't want to, go to site meetings and chase updates: owners abroad, owners who travel a lot, and owners in the UAE with a full-time job.
Do I have to be in Dubai to sign up?
No. You can sign up and pay from anywhere. If you live abroad, you can use the photo page of your passport instead of an Emirates ID.
What if I don't answer a decision in time?
It waits for you. We tell your contractor it's waiting on you, and remind you. We never decide for you, and nothing goes to your contractor without your written yes.
Can I still go to site meetings myself?
Of course. Come whenever you like. Hands-off means you don't have to.
Who sets the limits, and can I change them?
You do, when you sign: which kinds of decisions we can pass on, up to what amount and how many days. You can change them at any time, in writing.
Can I add Hands-off later, or stop it?
Yes to both. It's added to your next 3-month bill, and you can stop it at the end of any 3-month block.
