Turnkey Project Delivery in Greater Montréal
Turnkey means you hand us the goal and we hand you the keys. Design, drawings, permits, procurement, construction, finishes, FF&E, inspections — all under one team, so you receive a complete, move-in-ready space and never manage the middle. It's the most hands-off way we work.
What “turnkey” includes that “build” doesn't
A build gives you a finished shell. Turnkey carries past it: finishes selected and installed, FF&E procured and placed, the space commissioned and inspected, and as-built documentation handed over. You walk in and operate.
Who it's for
Owners and tenants who want a finished, operating space handed over — not a coordination project to run themselves.
What's included
- Design and construction drawings
- Permits and approvals
- Full construction and finishes
- Millwork and FF&E
- Single point of accountability throughout
- A complete, move-in-ready handover
The in-house difference
Turnkey means turnkey
A turnkey promise is only as strong as the seams inside it — and a turnkey stitched across a separate designer, contractor, and FF&E vendor has seams where things get dropped. Because our design is in-house from the first sketch — with an architect directing wherever a project is subject to the Architects Act — there's no scope gap between who imagined the space and who delivers it fully finished.
Frequently asked
Turnkey Delivery — your questions, answered.
What does turnkey mean in construction?
Turnkey means we deliver a complete, ready-to-use space under a single contract, so you simply turn the key and move in. One team handles design, permits, procurement, construction, finishes, inspections, and final handover. For a Greater Montréal commercial, retail, or residential client it removes the burden of coordinating separate designers, suppliers, and trades yourself.
What's included in a turnkey project?
A turnkey scope typically covers pre-construction planning, design and engineering coordination, permit support, demolition, construction, finish selections, utilities, inspections, and final handover. You receive a move-in-ready space that meets code, plus as-built documentation for future maintenance. In practice that means one contract and one accountable team carrying the project from concept through the day you take occupancy.
How is turnkey different from design-build or hiring a separate designer and contractor?
In the traditional route you hire a designer, then separately hire a contractor, holding two contracts and the coordination risk. Design-build unifies design and construction under one contract and single point of responsibility. Turnkey goes further: the contractor engineers, procures, constructs, and commissions the space so it's ready to operate on handover — the most hands-off delivery of the three.
