Construction guide

Turnkey house construction in Lahore

Turnkey construction means one contract covers the house from design and approval to the day you get the keys. You agree the scope, specification and payment stages once, and the builder is responsible for everything in between.

What a turnkey contract should include

• Architectural and structural drawings and the map approval file.
• Grey structure with named material grades.
• Finishing with a written specification: tiles, woodwork, sanitary, electrical and paint.
• Stage-wise payments tied to completed work, not dates.
• A handover with snag list and a defects period.

Turnkey or grey structure only?

Turnkey suits owners who cannot be on site, especially overseas Pakistanis. Grey-only suits owners who want to choose and buy finishing themselves. Either way, the specification must be written down.
