What does “turnkey” actually mean?

Factory Complete vs Turnkey Package, explained - what's included, what's on you, and which one suits the way you want to build.

Every builder uses the word “turnkey”, but it rarely means the same thing twice. For a modular build, the difference between “we’ll build your home” and “we’ll deliver your finished home” comes down to one question: who manages everything between the factory and your front door? At Saltair, we offer two clear pathways, and understanding the difference matters because it determines exactly what you’re responsible for and what we deliver, from design sign-off to the day you collect the keys.
Factory Complete

Your home is fully designed, engineered and manufactured in our factory under licensed trades, engineers and certifiers, then delivered ready to install. Site works, approvals and installation are coordinated by you or your local builder.

Turnkey Package

Everything in Factory Complete, plus Saltair manages the entire site delivery in-house - footings, transport, crane installation, trade connections and final certification. All in-house, all in control, with one point of accountability from start to finish.

Here’s what separates the two packages, point by point:

Which is right for you?

Factory Complete suits owners with an existing local builder, or who want more hands-on control of site works and are comfortable coordinating trades themselves. Turnkey Package suits owners who want a single point of accountability - one contract, one team, one warranty - from the first design meeting to the final certificate. Both start from the same factory floor, the same licensed trades and the same quality standard. The difference is simply where Saltair’s responsibility ends and yours begins.
