Trusted Construction Consultant &
Property Management Advisor
Owner's representation, construction consulting, and white-glove property oversight — serving homeowners, estate owners, and commercial property owners throughout Northern New Jersey
and the greater New York metropolitan area.
Property ownership in New Jersey and New York comes with significant decisions — renovations, capital improvements, contractor management, and long-term maintenance planning. Most property owners face these challenges without a trusted expert in their corner. That's exactly the gap Maison Lee Collective was created to fill.
Founded by Dawn Donaghy, a construction professional with over 20 years of commercial construction management experience throughout New York City, Maison Lee Collective provides expert construction consulting, owner's representation, and comprehensive property management services for residential and commercial property owners across Northern New Jersey and New York area.
We serve as your single point of accountability — coordinating inspectors, engineers, architects, contractors, and specialty tradespeople on your behalf — so you can protect your investment, make confident decisions, and reclaim your time. Whether you're planning a renovation, managing deferred maintenance, overseeing a capital improvement project, or simply need a trusted advisor watching over your most valuable asset, Maison Lee Collective delivers the expertise, oversight, and peace of mind that property owners deserve.
The Story Behind the Standard
"After more than 20 years in the fast-paced world of commercial construction throughout New York City, I knew it was time for a new chapter. Throughout my career, I found myself consistently assisting friends, family, and colleagues with their construction projects, property improvements, and management needs. It became clear that many property owners needed a trusted advocate—someone who could represent their interests, provide expert guidance, and bridge the gap between ownership and the construction team in a way that traditional contracting services often do not."

Property Management
Construction Consulting
Construction consulting is about protecting your investment, your budget, and your vision from the moment a project begins to the moment it is complete. At Maison Lee Collective, we bring over 20 years of commercial construction management experience to every residential and commercial project across the metropolitan area, reviewing contractor bids, identifying risks before they become costly, and ensuring that every decision is made with your best interests, and only your best interests, at the center.
Property Management
True property management is not about responding to problems. It is about preventing them. At Maison Lee Collective, our services are built on a foundation of commercial construction expertise that traditional property managers simply do not have. We assess, plan, and oversee every aspect of your property's care, from condition evaluations and maintenance schedules to capital improvement planning and vendor coordination, so your investment is never left to chance.
Owner's Representation
At Maison Lee Collective, owner's representation means one thing, someone experienced, independent, and completely dedicated to your interests is overseeing your project from start to finish. We manage contractors, monitor budgets, enforce quality standards, and keep you informed at every step. While contractors answer to their bottom line, we answer only to you.
