A turnkey project is a delivery method in which a single entity—a contractor—works with a project owner under a single contract to complete all stages of a project from detail engineering through construction. Turnkey projects eliminate inconveniences from the project owner, as this method places responsibilities on the contractor that would otherwise fall on the owner in a traditional design-bid-build (DBB) delivery. Unlike the DBB approach, turnkey delivery methods consolidate aspects of project design, financing, procurement, subcontracts, and construction into an all-in-one solution with a single point of accountability.
