Turnkey Finishing Services
The term "Turnkey" has become common in the finishing world, but it is more than just a catchy name. It is an integrated system with specific advantages and requirements, and it may not be suitable for every case. In this article, we reveal with full transparency what turnkey finishing means, when it is ideal for you, and how to distinguish a company that truly implements it successfully.
What is Meant by Turnkey Finishing?
It is a contractual system where the finishing company takes responsibility for every step of the project: from design, material selection, and procurement to labor management, scheduling, execution, quality testing, and finally delivering the unit completely ready for occupancy or operation.
In simpler terms: You are not required to intervene during execution—other than reviewing the design, choosing your preferred styles, and conducting periodic follow-ups with the assigned engineer. Your company thinks, plans, executes, and simply hands you the keys.
Comparison: Turnkey vs. Traditional Finishing
The difference is very clear in management style and details. With a turnkey system, you deal with a single entity responsible for everything, from raw materials to technicians. In the traditional system, you play the role of the coordinator: you choose the electricity supplier, agree with a plumber, follow up with the builder, compare material prices, and set the schedule yourself. Often, you pay the price of "poor coordination" through increased costs or wasted time.
The difference also reflects in your budget. With turnkey, you pay a comprehensive figure for the entire plan. In traditional finishing, every stage has its own account, and any delay can increase unexpected costs. Furthermore, the timeline is different; a professional company provides a clear delivery schedule calculated by day and stage, whereas in the traditional system, a delay by one contractor stops all subsequent tasks.
Advantages of the Turnkey System
- Complete Peace of Mind: No need to follow up with workers or visit material showrooms yourself. Every detail is handled by the company according to a documented agreement.
- Clear Legal Responsibility: There is no overlap between multiple parties. The company is 100% responsible for the quality of execution.
- Consistent Quality: When the same team plans and executes, the result is more accurate and matches the original design.
- Precise Execution Schedule: You receive a comprehensive timeline where every item has a specific timing, and the final delivery occurs on a clear, agreed-upon date.
- Transparent Pricing: There are no pricing surprises as you move from one stage to another. A final price offer for all items is provided from the beginning.
- After-Sales Service: Many companies provide free maintenance for the first few months and guarantees on core items like electricity and plumbing.
When is the Turnkey System NOT Suitable for You?
- If you prefer to personally select every material from showrooms and want to be part of every minor decision.
- If you have trusted or cheaper suppliers for specific materials and prefer to supply them yourself.
- If your budget is very limited and you want to control every item individually.
- If the project is very small (like a studio), where the final cost might be higher than managing the items yourself.
In short: This system is not for everyone, but it is ideal for those looking for a comprehensive, centralized solution that saves them the headache of details.
Real Case Study: A Turnkey Villa in Beit Al-Watan
A client in Beit Al-Watan contracted Home Dimension for a turnkey project. Initially hesitant because he was used to managing details himself, he was convinced after a professional planning session. The company defined a finishing level that suited his taste and budget, provided a timeline, and presented various material plans at different prices.
Work began within 10 days. Upon the completion of each stage, the client received a photo report on WhatsApp, including progress percentages and engineering recommendations. After 70 days, he received his villa fully finished, including paints, lighting, bathrooms, and final cleaning. The experience was not only comfortable but also about 15% more cost-effective than the traditional system due to reduced waste and time optimization.

FAQ About Turnkey Finishing
1. Is the cost higher than traditional finishing?
Not always. The final value may be lower because the company buys materials at wholesale prices and manages tasks efficiently without waste or rework.
2. Can I change the design after contracting?
Yes, during the design phase, and some items can even be adjusted during execution provided there is prior coordination.
3. Does the delivery include electrical appliances?
Usually no, but some companies offer packages that include appliances upon request.
4. Is there a guarantee on the work after delivery?
Yes, top companies provide a real guarantee on work (electricity, plumbing, plastering, painting) for up to 3 years.
The "Turnkey" system is not just about comfort; it is a professional way to build your dream calmly, without surprises, and with a result that impresses everyone. However, the success of the system depends on a partner who is knowledgeable, clear, and honest. Look for a company with real projects—not just a PowerPoint presentation. Trust their system before you trust their prices.
