When it comes to construction and interior design, one of the most debated questions is whether to choose a turnkey project or a traditional construction model. Both options have their advantages, but with time and cost being important factors, businesses and individuals tend to choose solutions that provide greater efficiency.

Traditional construction divides a project into segments, each managed by a different contractor. For example, you might hire an architect for design, a construction contractor, and materials and furnishings suppliers. The client is the coordinator, managing each stakeholder and ensuring all phases are aligned.

Meanwhile, turnkey projects refer to a comprehensive construction or design approach where one service provider manages the entire project from start to finish. The term “turnkey” implies that the client turns the key walks into a finished home or space and is ready to move in.

You may still be unsure about the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods above. To make the right decision, you do need to consider this. One of the main advantages of a turnkey project is its ability to save time. There is no need to involve many contractors or coordinate between vendors because all aspects of the project are handled by one vendor. A corporate office that requires complete interior design and furnishings can be completed in weeks because the turnkey provider already has a network of suppliers and standard processes.

In traditional construction, time management is often a challenge because it involves multiple vendors. Coordinating schedules and ensuring each phase is completed on time requires significant effort from the client. Each contractor works independently, which can cause delays in synchronizing project phases.
