Turnkey Industrial Construction: From Design to Commissioning

What is Turnkey Construction

Turnkey construction is a comprehensive approach where one company is responsible for the entire process: from project development to facility commissioning.

Construction Stages

1. Consultation & Assessment

The first step is a meeting with the client to discuss needs, budget, and timeline. At this stage, the scope of work is determined.

2. Design

Development of project documentation: architectural solutions, engineering systems, cost estimate. Duration: 2-4 weeks.

3. Preparatory Work

Site preparation: soil removal, utilities, temporary roads. Mobilization of equipment and materials.

4. Main Construction

Erecting the frame, walls, and roof. Installation of engineering systems. This is the longest stage — 2 to 6 months.

5. Finishing & Utilities

Interior finishing, utility connections, ventilation and fire safety systems.

6. Commissioning

Testing all systems, obtaining permits, handover to the client.
