Turnkey means the home is finished and ready to live in or lease on handover day. In practice, packages labelled turnkey can differ a lot. Here is what to look for.
A complete turnkey package usually covers
- Site costs for the lot, with a fixed allowance shown in the contract
- Floor coverings throughout
- Window coverings
- Heating and cooling
- Driveway and paths
- Front and back landscaping, fencing and letterbox
- Clothesline, appliances, light fittings and power points to a stated standard
- Connections to water, sewer, power and NBN
Common gaps to check
- Site costs above the allowance, for example rock, extra fill or easements
- Developer requirements such as facade and landscaping rules
- Upgrades shown in renders but not included in the price
- Connection fees charged by service providers
How Aira handles it
Every package lists what is included, what is an upgrade and its price, and what is not included, all in one place before you enquire. If something is not on the list, ask us before you sign.
Common questions
Are the renders what I get?
Renders can show upgraded finishes and landscaping. The inclusions list and the building contract set out what is included.
Can I add upgrades?
Yes. Upgrade prices are listed on each package and confirmed in writing.
