Picture your dream home, with oak beams framing each room and the little peeks of its exterior you get to see through the trees as you drive home each day. This vision can be your reality - but how do you get there? Maybe you don’t feel ready to take on a project, or simply have too much to do. This is where our Turnkey Project Management service can help. We’ll craft your home on your behalf, taking the hard work from your shoulders and leaving you with a wonderful new space.

What are turnkey homes?

Turnkey is a service where you partner with our in-house Project Manager, who will manage your build from conception to completion. If you have a busy lifestyle, or you’d just prefer to have someone else manage the day-to-day activities of your build, turnkey is the perfect option.

While you make all of the key decisions, we take care of everything else, from sourcing materials, liaising with tradespeople and overseeing every stage of the build. Instead of managing multiple contractors, you’ll have one dedicated point of contact overseeing the entire process, ensuring everything runs smoothly and meets the highest standards. Our fixed-price approach provides clarity from the start, while our tailored service ensures your home is designed uniquely to you.

Managing your build: your home, your way

When exploring the benefits of turnkey, you may read about the design-build process. You get to decide what journey your home goes through, so understanding the options available will help ensure that your project is best suited to your requirements.

Turnkey - a turnkey home is a fully managed project where all you need to bring is your creativity and passion. 

Self build - a self build project puts you at the helm as the principal contractor. This means you liaise with suppliers and contractors, manage your budget and deliveries, and essentially look after every aspect of your plot.

Principal contractor - your appointed principal contractor will be on site, managing your build. They will take care of the Health & Safety, building control and work with various suppliers so you don’t have to. 

If you’d rather focus your time on other elements of your day-to-day, know that, with our turnkey service, you’ll never be in the dark. You still get to make the decisions and oversee your overall design - you just won’t have to worry about managing various teams and suppliers as you go.

Introductions

During your initial meetings with our House Specialists and Architecture teams, you chose our Turnkey project management service to oversee the entire process of your build. This service is designed to manage your project from inception to completion. Once you have signed your design contract, you will be formally introduced to your dedicated Turnkey Project Manager, who will work closely with you to guide the project through each phase of your self-build.
