Turnkey construction and contracts are changing the shape of the construction industry. More and more companies are opting for turnkey projects to complete their built environments, from new offices to specialist centres.
But what is a turnkey contract, and why does it matter? We explain everything you need to know, as well as how Sweet Projects can support you with all your designing and building needs, below.
What Is A Turnkey Service?
Turnkey construction simply means that everything within the construction process, from design to construction, falls under one contractor. Once completed, all the client will need to do is ‘turn the key’, hence the name, to begin using their new space.
Other projects may separate out the design, technology, and construction elements of a building project. However, with a turnkey contract, everything is included under one umbrella for enhanced efficiency.
Turnkey Contracts vs. Design and Build Contracts
On the surface, turnkey construction and design and build construction may sound like the same thing. But there are several key differences that set them apart:
Project Control
With a design and build contractor, building owners are much more heavily involved in the building process. This can often end up being more time consuming and expensive, as an external project manager may be needed to ensure the design and build service is being completed to the highest possible standard.
On the other hand, turnkey services take the weight off you. Here at Sweet Projects, we handle every stage of the process for you, including identifying and resolving challenges before they even arise for the smoothest build.
But this doesn’t mean you have no say! In fact, it’s the very opposite – we foster strong partnerships with each one of our clients and strive to exceed expectations, communicating at every stage of project delivery so you’re never in the dark when it comes to your project.
Project Timelines
Unlike traditional design and build services, turnkey construction is much more time efficient. As we handle every element of the process, we only entrust work to exceptional talent, and consistently seek out the latest advancements in technology to make the process quicker, safer, and better for you.
Plus, we ensure each project is meticulously planned, and pride ourselves on creative solutions and thorough safety procedures that get the job done once and done right.
Change Management
With design and build contracts, there are a lot of plates being spun by a lot of different people. This can result in inconsistencies between the engineering, the architecture, and the build, which result in lengthy delays and increased costs for the client.
Turnkey construction reduces these inconsistencies by bringing every element of the process under one project. With one single point of responsibility rather than many, we eliminate the fuss around managing multiple contracts, instead providing a dedicated project manager who will oversee your project from end to end.
Consistency and Quality
Unlike in design and build projects, turnkey construction allows for consistency and high quality across all aspects of the build process. Rather than handing responsibility over to different companies, our project managers are hands-on at every stage, reducing any mistakes or lost information, so each aspect is up to the highest of standards.
