What does turnkey really mean?

A turnkey home is exactly that - ready from day one.

From flooring and appliances to lighting, finishes and fittings, everything is already selected and installed. There’s no need to coordinate additional works or organise finishing touches before moving in. When you receive the keys, the home is complete and ready to live in.

It’s a simple, straightforward experience that lets you focus on settling in, with peace of mind from day one.

Move in with certainty

One of the key benefits of a ready-to-move-in home is knowing exactly when life in your new home can begin.

With construction complete and inclusions finalised, settlement timelines are clear and predictable. This makes it easier to plan around work, family and personal milestones, with confidence that your home will be ready when you need it.

Clear inclusions, clear costs

Turnkey homes offer transparency from the beginning. The initial price reflects a fully finished home, with inclusions already built in.

This upfront clarity helps simplify budgeting and decision-making, allowing buyers to move forward knowing what’s included without needing to account for additional selections later. It’s an approach that supports confidence and ease throughout the buying process.
