Every day in Russia, many new houses grow in different cities. New buildings are more popular than secondary housing - they are larger in area and have a non-classical layout. Which apartment to choose: "without finishing" or "turnkey". And in general, "turnkey", what does it mean?
Let's take a closer look
All residential premises sold by the developer are divided into completed and turnkey. They talk about the first option when windows and an entrance door are installed in the apartment. It lacks plumbing, interior partitions, and sometimes wiring. The category of houses "for finishing" includes houses in which the walls are plastered, a bathroom is partially equipped, there is electrical wiring, all communications are available. Future tenants only need to choose what to apply to the walls (wallpaper or paint) and lay the flooring.
Turnkey apartments are another matter - which means that residents only need to bring furniture, arrange it in the apartment and live. All the necessary work has already been completed: the apartment has interior partitions, the walls and floor are finished, plumbing is installed. This is an inexpensive repair, but quitedecent. As a rule, middle-income people live in turnkey apartments.
Sometimes, at the request of tenants, finishers add something to the turnkey finish. What does it mean, for example, install a fire alarm.
Finishing an apartment consists of two steps:
1. The company that will be engaged in the creation of the interior often offers the services of a designer. The client expresses his wishes, and the designer combines them with building rules and regulations. Finishing materials are discussed, then the turnkey project appears visually on the computer screen, in 3D.
2. The second step is proper budgeting. It includes all services, consumables, their quantity and price. A work schedule is attached as an appendix to the estimate. A separate estimate is made for each room.
Having de alt with the concept of "turnkey" (which means for apartments), you can move on to other types of buildings under construction using this term.
What repairs will be done?
Before you start finishing, you need to decide what kind of repair will be carried out: cosmetic or major.
Redecoration implies an internal renewal of the appearance of the apartment. This is painting or wallpapering the walls, variations with the ceiling (paint or stretch), the choice of flooring (linoleum, laminate, parquet). If the overhaul was recent, cosmetic is done to refresh the interior.
Major overhaul includes replacement of plumbing pipes and equipment, electrical wiring, radiatorsheating. The surface of the walls, floor and ceiling is leveled, interior doors are dismantled, sometimes the living space is redesigned.
What other turnkey buildings are there?
Many companies offer their turnkey bath construction services. This is, first of all, interesting for people who do not have the time, energy and desire to build it themselves.
Specialists in the company help to decide on the project or develop it according to the individual preferences of the client. Workers will build a bath at a convenient time for the client. Those who want to build a bathhouse will only need to clear the site for the construction of a future turnkey bathhouse and ensure the passage of a car with building materials.
The construction team, having received the order, completes it with the necessary building materials (profiled timber, stove, boards, pipes, windows, mineral wool). Machine delivers materials, construction begins.
Besides the baths, houses and cottages are being built on a turnkey basis. The construction of such large facilities begins with earthworks, then the foundation is poured, the walls of the house are erected, and the roof is laid. After all the necessary communications are brought in, internal and external decoration is carried out. Decorative finishing completes construction work.
Turnkey construction assumes that the erected building will meet all the requirements necessary for human habitation. Plumbing equipment will be installed in it, engineering networks and other communications will be laid.
Build cost
Turnkey construction prices vary. For example, when building a bathhouse on an individual order, the cost will be higher than that of a bathhouse built according to a standard project.
For the construction of a turnkey house, specialized companies will calculate the exact estimated cost of the complete construction of the building. Of course, in the process of building a house, the amount may vary.
Summarizing the above, everyone will choose what is more profitable for him: “turnkey” or “finishing”. For example, it will be difficult for older people to make any type of repair on their own on a turnkey basis, which means they will purchase an apartment that is already ready for living. After all, doing repairs with your own hands only at first glance seems easier than buying a finished apartment. In fact, many little things are often not taken into account, and the upcoming repairs, in most cases, come out more expensive.
