What does the term turnkey mean in construction?
A turnkey construction operator is a company that manages a project, generally on behalf of a client. A turnkey contractor offers to respect a clients requirements in terms of cost, fit for purpose and timescale. He coordinates everybody involved, including the architect, to achieve a successful completion of the project with respect all the client’s requirements.Synergy between the architect and the turnkey building operator
RB-Architects know several turnkey operators in France that can help with particular needs to design a building project that is compatible with your administrative and organisational constraints. As with all projects it is important to fully understand the roles of everybody involved, individually as well as within the team. It is essential to fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of this type of project and especially when it’s not possible. For example, when there is a Permit requirement, French law can require the architect to have a direct contractual link with the client. It’s useful to prioritise the needs of construction quality, budget and timescale because a turnkey operator can simplify your project but at a loss of the control of the construction quality.
