"Turnkey hall" is a phrase that almost every supplier has on the web. But it means something different to everyone — and you will only know the difference when you are standing on a construction site under construction and deciding who should have made the connection.
Here's what a turnkey delivery should actually include.
What is included in the turnkey delivery
| Phase | What is happening in it |
|---|---|
| Consultation and proposal | detection of operation, disposition, indicative price |
| Project and engineering activity | documentation, discussion, building permit |
| Earthworks and foundations | excavations, footings, passes, or piles |
| Steel construction | production in the workshop, surface treatment, transport |
| Assembly | staffing the structure with own squads |
| Cladding | walls, roof, sheet metal flashings |
| Hole fillers | doors, windows, doors, skylights |
| Floors and hard surfaces | concreting, reinforced concrete, communication |
| Handover | document part, revision, warranty |
If any of those items are missing from the menu, it is not a turnkey delivery. It is a delivery of the structure and the rest you will take care of yourself.
Why one supplier instead of five
Margins between companies will disappear. For split delivery, each link in the chain adds its own surcharge. When one company does the same with its own capacities, this cost does not exist. Downtime at the work interface will disappear. The most expensive days on a construction site are those when nothing happens because one company is waiting for another. With one delivery, the order of work is planned as a whole. The question of "whose fault is it" disappears. When the foundations are made by one company and the construction by another, and the anchor points do not match, the arguing begins. When both are supplied by one, the question does not arise. That leaves one deadline and one responsibility. An investor deals with one contract, not five schedules.
How long does it take
The assembly time of the hall ranges from thirty days. It's not a miracle, it's a consequence of technology: the steel structure is produced in the workshop while the foundations are on site. Finished parts will arrive at the construction site.
Contracts where the substructure is also included in the delivery tend to be longer — earthworks, foundations and communications will add weeks.
What to ask each supplier
- Who makes the foundations? If another company, who is responsible for ensuring that the anchorage fits?
- Who controls building permits? Engineering is a job for months.
- Do you have your own assembly crews or do you hire? The external team works according to their waiting list, not according to your deadline.
- What design class do you supply?
- What is the warranty? And what exactly does it apply to?
- How many similar builds have you completed? And is it possible to go see them?
