What is a ‘turnkey’ office fit-out solution?
A turnkey office fit-out is the ultimate solution for those wanting full support during the design and build process and a ready-to-use office space at the end of the project. It refers to a complete office solution from design to construction to furniture selection and aims to supply a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing space. Architectural design, electrical and plumbing work, flooring, wall and ceiling finishes, and any necessary technology and security systems are all considered as part of a turnkey fit-out. The client simply provides the specifications, and we take care of the rest.

Why is it called a ‘turnkey’ fit-out?
It’s as simple as it sounds – a turnkey solution refers to the fact that the customer just needs to ‘turn their key’ at the end of the project, and they will have an operational and well-designed office space that is ready to go.

DENTON’s turnkey process
While every fit-out company’s process will differ slightly, the stages and steps will be very similar. Here is a rundown of DENTON’s process for working with our clients on a turnkey office project:
- Initial Consultation: Alongside each client, we discuss the requirements and specifications of a project, as well as assess the existing space and get a feel for the business. This discovery then informs a detailed brief.
- Design and Planning: based on the consultation, we create a thorough design plan and outline the scope of the project, including the timeline, budget, and materials to be used.
- Permits and Approvals: we handle any necessary permits and approvals, such as building and safety codes, to ensure the project meets all regulatory requirements and there are minimal delays to our clients.
- Construction and Installation: we manage the construction and installation of the new office space, including the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems.
- Project Management: we manage the project from start to finish, ensuring the project stays on schedule and within budget.
- Final Walk-through: the fun bit. We conduct a final walk-through of the completed project alongside our client to ensure you’re satisfied with the results.
- Handover: Upon completion of the project, we hand over the keys to the client and ensure that all warranties and guarantees are in place and our client has a fully functioning office which is ready to use.

Benefits of a turnkey office fit-out
With the variety of office fit-out services available, it’s important to know what you are getting from each service and which is best for you and your business. Understanding the benefits of each is key to the decision process. There is a big difference between a full office refurbishment and a category-a fit-out, so do your homework – or ask the experts! Here are some of the key benefits of a turnkey office fit-out for you to consider:
1. Save time: as your office fit-out company will be handling all project management, the process is streamlined. This saves valuable time and helps avoid delays – vital for any fit-out project.
2. Reduce stress: not having to handle the project management side of an office fit-out means there is less stress trying to organise multiple contractors and vendors. Let the experts handle it.
3. Increase budget control: using a turnkey solution, all costs are accounted for and budgeted at the start of the project, preventing unplanned expenses.
4. Improve quality: experts like DENTON have extensive experience and knowledge of office fit-outs, and we use the best materials and workmanship to deliver high-quality results for all our clients.
5. A single point of contact: with only one point of contact, communication becomes a breeze which makes the project easy to coordinate for our clients.
