What are the Benefits of a Turn-Key Architecture & Design Team
Whether you are a homeowner looking to embark on your first ever home renovation, or a seasoned developer adding a new property to your portfolio, the stresses of dealing with many subcontractors can be daunting. With high fees, many points of communication and lack of continuity - the stress of a construction project can be seen throughout the industry. Many turn to project managers to see through the project from start to finish, but even they can have difficulty in dealing with external consultants, and they often take a large % of the contract value.
All of the above combined lead to the following, sensical solution. But what is a Turn-Key Service, and how can it help me?
To begin, I want to educate you about the disadvantages of the more traditional method.
We understand that with a full-time job, you may not have the time or resources to spend on your project. Furthermore, communicating with a variety of people can be tiresome, sometimes not knowing who you are talking to or what their role is within your project.
Some of the many important roles that you will need to play when embarking on your construction project are:
Finding the right design teams
Liaising with a team of consultants
Organising the project schedule
Ensuring all specialists are collaborating effectively
While this may sound exciting to some, it can begin to take its toll on you, and you may lose passion for what you have started designing in the first place. This is where a turn-key provider comes in.

As the name would suggest, imagine a long hallway split into segments by a series of locked doors. Each key can only be obtained once the door in front of it has been opened, allowing you to pass through to the next stage.
