When it comes to construction projects, they can be delivered in a variety of ways. Sometimes a client has a design already done and just needs a builder to build the project to specifications. Other times, the client needs everything done; a true end-to-end construction project. This is turnkey construction.

Here at A1 Precision Solutions, we pride ourselves on being a turnkey commercial construction company. While we can (and do) deliver projects designed by clients, for most clients, we do the full design work, seek permits, and build the project. The project is delivered ready to use, with very little (if anything) left to do for the client. All the client needs to do is come to their facility at the completion of the project, open the door (i.e. turn the key) and get on with running their business.

What’s Involved In A Turnkey Construction Project?

As mentioned, a turnkey construction project involves completing all aspects of the project for the client. Construction projects aren’t just about building something, they’re also about planning, designing, seeking permits where appropriate, building, and actually managing the build itself with project managers.

An example of a turnkey construction project would involve an office fit-out. An office fit-out may involve stripping or de-fitting the old office, painting and installing new carpets, installing new fixtures, and finally moving in and setting up all the office equipment. It would also involve making sure all utilities are installed and work as needed. In some cases, if the building’s purpose is being changed, permits may also be required. Throughout all this, planning and management is also needed.

Basically, an office fit-out isn’t just putting some desks in and calling it a day, it’s creating a new workspace that’s fit for purpose. A business that’s seeking a new office may be very good at what they do, but they’re not experts at creating new workspaces. We are, and that’s why our clients rely on us to take care of every aspect of a fit-out project.

What Are The Advantages Of Using A Turnkey Construction Firm?

Using a turnkey construction company means that, as a client, you don’t have to manage anything. We collect a brief from the client, design the project, complete the project, then hand it over to the client. The advantage here is that the client can be confident that everything is taken care of and nothing is forgotten.

If a client attempts to cut corners and manage a project themselves, important aspects of the project may be missed, leading to complications in the future. For example, a client may assume that the building they’re moving into has the electrical infrastructure in place to support their business; this assumption can be disastrous if the client gets it wrong. 

While it may sound expensive to leave the full management and production of a project to a third party, in a lot of ways, it’s no more expensive and can even save a client money. Think about it, design services and engineers need to be paid for, whether a client is managing them or not. Trades need to be hired and paid for, regardless of who’s managing the project.  Even a project manager needs to be paid for, and that’s either the wage of someone internal managing the project, or the wage of an external project manager hired by a turnkey builder like ourselves. The only thing that’s missing when a turnkey construction firm is used is the headache of trying to do a big project yourself.
