The expression "Turnkey Renovations" has become so widely popular and used that a very few people care about finding out the exact definition of its meaning. It is quite clear that a company offers "Turnkey Renovations" as a high quality service.
Nevertheless, given the importance and high cost of repairs, it is better to know in advance exactly what the common expression means in order to appreciate the attractiveness of the service proposal. In addition, it will not be useless to find out the opinion of the Construction company on this issue, since our practice shows that among the renovation and construction companies there are quite a lot of those that seem to misunderstand their services proposal. Using the wording only because it is popular.
The Keys to an Apartment and Their Innocense
Mentioning the keys to the apartment as an object that is directly related to the quality of repair is quite common. "Take the keys, enter the apartment and live" - something like this is explained by the meaning of the phrase "Turnkey Renovation" by some "experts". If you think about it, under such precedence you can serve anything that is unfinished or not entirely up to the owner's expectations. There is a floor, ceiling, walls and a door (with keys of course), which means you can enter and live, despite the fact that such housing is very far from not only ideal but also simply an uncomfortable living environment.

In modern everyday life, the expression has become so widespread that "Turnkey" sites are created, weddings are organized - that is , they fulfill any orders of a client who is fascinated by this magical word. In fact, this same key is directly related primarily to construction and repair. despite the fact that it was not originally about locks installed at the entrance.
The key called the element of installed at the top of the building being built. Wooden or stone depending on the type of structure, it closed the arch of the structure and was installed only after all construction work was completed.

The Legal Side of the Issue

In this regard, the design project which describes and illustrates as much as possible not only the future appearance of the premises but also the list of necessary works .
