ᐅ What can you expect from a "turnkey" home?

What can I expect when a house is built "turnkey" – what has been your experience with this?

When a company promises that the house "is completely turnkey, so you only need to move in your furniture" (for example, on the homepage), I generally expect the house to be ready to move into, including floors, painting, a fitted kitchen, etc. Am I correct in this assumption, or could I be disappointed?

In the description, I would also expect floors and painting work to be included.

For me, the kitchen falls under the category of "furniture."

A kitchen is not included in a turnkey (ready-to-move-in) contract, is it? ! ? !

You will be disappointed with the kitchen: these are just pieces of furniture 🙂

However, the construction company will install floor coverings in all rooms and paint the walls (according to the specifications in the scope of work). These days, this is rarely included under "turnkey" builds.

Kind regards, Yvonne

Kitchen = furniture and is excluded.

Basically, I would be cautious with turnkey. I would ask for a draft of the construction specification.

What about the outdoor areas? What about development costs? And so on and so forth.

These costs are generally the responsibility of the builder, meaning the landowner must cover them.
