Turnkey Execution

Turnkey execution brings design, procurement and construction activities into one coordinated project scope. AA Architecture offers this service for clients who want to discuss the relationship between the design they approve and the work needed to realise it. The appointment begins by defining what will be delivered, who is responsible and how decisions will be recorded.

Defining the complete scope

The meaning of turnkey depends on the individual agreement. Rooms, finishes, fixed elements, loose furniture, equipment and specialist systems need clear inclusion or exclusion. Existing conditions and the information available also affect the work to be planned.

For a café or commercial interior, decisions about the counter, seating and lighting should connect to operational needs. For a residential interior, the discussion may focus on the relationship between built-in elements, finishes and daily use. The agreed scope gives these decisions a shared reference throughout the project.

From approved design to implementation

Depending on the commission, the process may include:

• Establishing the design brief and the elements included in delivery.
• Developing and recording design decisions and material selections.
• Coordinating agreed procurement and the sequence of implementation activities.
• Reviewing progress, proposed changes and their implications for the agreed scope.
• Preparing a completion review and documenting any outstanding agreed work.

The project programme and budget framework are discussed with the scope and available information. Product availability, changes requested during the work and decisions by other parties are considered through the agreed review process.

A published design-and-execution example

The CAFE DEL BELLO project in Istanbul records AA Architecture’s role in interior design and turnkey execution. Its spatial approach connects the café counter, seating, material palette and recognisable brand details. The project offers a useful starting point for discussing how design identity can inform implementation choices.

Each new commission has its own room schedule, responsibilities, approvals and handover expectations. These are developed around the existing space and the client’s priorities before the contents of the appointment are agreed.
