The Turnkey Delivery Approach is Particularly Effective for Fast Track Projects

Master Contract: Contract falls between the owner and contractor. All consultants including the design team are included under the contractor's umbrella.
• DWH is the single point of responsibility for the overall project success.
• The owner has a single point of responsibility for both design and construction.

Expedited and Enhanced Review: Value engineering and constructability review are enhanced and can begin much earlier due to the integration of the design and construction process.
• The Turnkey process has proven to be much quicker than design/bid/build.
• Long lead items can be identified and ordered prior to the start of construction.
• Value engineering and constructability review are enhanced and can begin much earlier due to the integration of the design and construction process.
• Changes, disputes, claims, and other delays occur less frequently.
• The contractor is responsible for completion of the design documents.
• Inconsistencies or scope gaps are the responsibility of the contractor.

Budget:
• The design is controlled by a predetermined and agreed upon budget.

Improved Risk Management:
• Risk management is improved for the owner because the cost. schedule, quality and project logistics are clearly outlined and responsibilities and risks are appropriately balanced.

Reduced Burden:
The owner's administrative burden is reduced because the need to invest time and money coordinating and arbitrating between separate design and construction teams is eliminated due to the turnkey process - the owner is able to focus on timely decision making.
