What is a turnkey home?

When you are deciding whether to build or buy, you will come across all sorts of different ways of getting into a home, including spec houses, new builds, home and land packages and of course, turnkey homes. So what is a turnkey home, and why do we build them? 

The term turnkey refers to a house and land package that is 100 % completed for the buyer. Put simply, it is a brand new home that is move-in ready – all you have to do is turn the key. No sourcing the land, no researching tradies and comparing quotes, no becoming overwhelmed with too many colour choices, no headache of being tied into a contract and progress payments. 

With a turnkey home you get all the benefits of a new home built to modern standards, without the stress of project managing a building project and undertaking the burden of the compliance process. 

Why do we specialise in turnkey homes?

When we talk to people who have had the opportunity to build their own home, we so often hear them say “Never again!”. The process of building your own home can be lengthy, costly and stressful, and the bureaucracy involved can be time consuming and confusing.

We are all busier than ever, and your time is so precious. One of the best things about buying a turnkey home is that it saves you time and lets you get on with the business of living your life. We reflect this approach in every part of our homes, keeping them low maintenance from the day you step through the front door and for years to come.

We have been in the building game for over a decade, and have also taken on personal building and renovation projects. Throughout this process we have learnt how to make it easier and realised how much we enjoy building quality family homes, so specialising in building turnkey homes is a perfect fit.

We have also lived in the homes we have built and have a growing list of features we include in each build to make a home an enjoyable, easy space to live. Consideration is key, so we make sure decks are north facing, entertaining areas capture the sun, storage is ample and the grounds are so low maintenance they practically look after themselves.

Turnkey & Co take care of everything from the very beginning of a project – the engineering, architectural plans, council approvals – right through to the finishing touches – landscaping, fences and of course the mailbox. Everything in between is chosen for the space and carefully executed by our team of builders and trusted contractors.

At Turnkey & Co we are passionate about creating beautiful homes. We are always learning and developing our skills and genuinely get excited to begin a project and see it through to the end. We enjoy creating our homes and we know you’ll enjoy living in them too.
