What does turnkey include, exactly?

Space strategy and design, civil works, electrical, HVAC and plumbing, fire services, joinery, finishes, furniture, statutory approvals, commissioning, and handover documentation. In practice: everything between an empty space and one your team can work in, under a single contract and a single point of contact.

How is a turnkey contract priced?

A cost plan is developed during planning once the scope is defined, and agreed before work starts. It is then tracked against commitments through milestone reviews. Changes are priced and approved in advance rather than accumulating on a final account - the goal is that the closing number matches the approved one.

What happens if something goes wrong after handover?

Manufacturer warranties on installed products and systems are passed to you at handover, and there is a defined aftercare period during which we address anything arising from the works themselves. Because one party delivered the whole scope, there is no question of which contractor owns the problem.

Turnkey Project Management by Opulent Workspaces

Delivery

Turnkey Interior Project Management

One partner, one point of contact, from first idea to handover. You get the keys - we manage everything in between.

Turnkey means you sign one contract and receive a finished space. Everything between those two events - design development, procurement, statutory approvals, trade sequencing, quality control, commissioning, and snagging - is managed by us rather than coordinated by you. For most organisations the value is not only the result but the internal time it does not consume.

Scope

What's included.

The disciplines this service covers, delivered under one contract and one point of accountability.

01
Single-contract delivery
Design, civil, MEP, joinery, finishing, and furniture under one agreement with one party accountable for the outcome.
02
Budget development & cost control
A transparent cost plan agreed at planning stage, tracked against commitments, with changes priced and approved before they are executed.
03
Programme & milestone governance
A milestone-based programme with defined quality gates and regular reporting, so progress is verifiable rather than asserted.
04
Procurement & long-lead management
Early identification and ordering of long-lead items, so the programme is not held hostage to a delivery date discovered too late.
05
Statutory approvals & landlord coordination
Permits, method statements, building-management submissions, and landlord approvals prepared and tracked as programme activities.
06
Handover & aftercare
Snag-free handover with documentation and warranties, plus a defined aftercare period for anything that emerges in early occupation.

Approach

What single-point accountability actually changes

Under a split appointment, the interface between design and construction is a commercial boundary - and every ambiguity at that boundary becomes a conversation about whose responsibility it is, usually while the programme is running. Under a single contract that boundary is internal. The detail gets resolved by the people who drew it and the people who will build it, in the same room, without a variation attached. Most of the time saved on a turnkey project is saved there.

Governance you can actually see

Milestone reviews, quality gates at defined stages, and regular written reporting exist so that the state of the project is a fact rather than an impression. The intent is that you always know three things without having to ask: what has been completed, what is at risk, and what decision is needed from you next. Projects go wrong slowly and quietly long before they go wrong visibly.

The handover is the deliverable

A project is not finished when the work stops - it is finished when the space is snag-free, the systems are commissioned and documented, the warranties are in your hands, and your facilities team knows how to run it. We close out defects before handover rather than issuing a list alongside the keys, and we stay available through early occupation, which is when the genuinely useful feedback arrives.
