What is Turn-Key Project Management?
Turn-key project management is a comprehensive approach to overseeing and delivering a project, where all aspects of the project are handled by a single contractor or project management team. The term “turn-key” refers to the idea that the project is ready for the client to use as soon as it is completed, just like turning a key to start a system.
In turnkey project management, the contractor takes on the responsibility for all phases of the project, from planning and design to construction, commissioning, and handover. This approach is beneficial for clients as it streamlines the entire process and reduces the complexity associated with coordinating multiple contractors and vendors.
One of the key advantages of turn-key projects is that it helps eliminate logistical headaches for project owners. By having a single point of contact and accountability, owners can avoid the challenges of managing and coordinating various contractors, suppliers, and subcontractors. This centralized approach often results in better communication, smoother coordination, and more efficient problem-solving throughout the project lifecycle.
Overall, turn-key project management provides a holistic and integrated solution, allowing clients to have a single entity responsible for the successful delivery of the entire project, from inception to completion.
What Are The Advantages of Turn-Key Project Management?
When considering any project delivery method, it is crucial to carefully assess the pros and cons before committing to a contract. Let’s delve into the advantages of turnkey projects and examine their potential impact on your capital project.
- Accelerated Project Timelines: Streamlining processes with fewer moving parts results in faster progression from planning to completion.
- Price Certainty & Cost Efficiency: With one contractor overseeing all planning aspects, upfront cost predictions become more accurate, reducing unforeseen costs and preventing budget overruns by project completion.
- Enhanced Communication & Collaboration: A singular point of contact/contractor for major projects facilitates efficient timeline tracking, progress communication, and flexible collaboration for adapting plans as needed.
- Elevated Quality: Consolidating all project aspects under one roof guarantees a more consistent and improved quality of work compared to situations where different companies handle distinct project components.
What Are The Disadvantages of Turn-Key Project Management?
In addition to understanding the advantages of turnkey projects, it is crucial to be aware of the drawbacks and challenges inherent in this delivery method. Let’s delineate three crucial factors to consider when assessing whether a turnkey project aligns with your requirements.
- Comprehensive Scope-Design: In a turn-key project, contractors meticulously plan each stage before construction, limiting flexibility during the build phase.
- Trustworthiness: Paramount to success, trust in the chosen company is crucial for a turn-key project. Thorough vetting and questioning during the proposal process provide insights into the company’s reliability.
- Reduced Flexibility: Agreed-upon project details from start to finish often result in limited flexibility for on-the-fly adjustments during construction.
