TURN-KEY

PROJECTS

Turn-key is the term commonly used for

projects that are designed, built, and put
into operation before the project is
turned over to the owner.

Examples of turnkey projects include

houses, factories, storefronts, churches,
aviation hangars and chemical
production and other facilities.

The advantage of a turnkey project

is that a single contractor oversees
all aspects of construction from
beginning to end.

The disadvantages are inefficiency

could create legal problems and
many turn-key contracts are for
construction in remote areas.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
Owner organizations that have some design
capabilities, but not enough to design the
complete project, will solicit bids based on
preliminary design development drawings.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
For example, the design development
drawings may only be developed to the 30%
to 50% level of detail of the final drawings.
