End-to-end delivery from concept and design through procurement, installation, commissioning, training and handover — coordinated by a single project manager.

· Quick answer

What does 'turnkey' actually mean — and how is it different from item-by-item procurement?

Turnkey is a single contract with a single accountable contractor for design, procurement, installation, commissioning and handover across the integrated stack. A single contract with a single accountable contractor for the entire integrated stack. Instead of separate vendors for AV, security, fire, BMS and IT — each with their own scope gaps and finger-pointing — one party owns design, procurement, installation, commissioning and handover. The seams between disciplines become our problem, not yours.

When a project crosses three or more disciplines — automation, AV, security, BMS, IT — coordination is no longer a meeting agenda; it is the work itself. We deliver as a single accountable contractor: design and shop-drawing co-ordination with the architect and MEP consultant, central procurement, sequenced installation, commissioning to a written test plan, and handover with documentation that the operations team can actually use.

/ Frequently asked

Turnkey — what people ask first.

What does 'turnkey' actually mean — and how is it different from item-by-item procurement?

Turnkey is a single contract with a single accountable contractor for design, procurement, installation, commissioning and handover across the integrated stack. A single contract with a single accountable contractor for the entire integrated stack. Instead of separate vendors for AV, security, fire, BMS and IT — each with their own scope gaps and finger-pointing — one party owns design, procurement, installation, commissioning and handover. The seams between disciplines become our problem, not yours.

What's the smallest project where turnkey makes economic sense?

Turnkey makes economic sense above ₹50 lakh installed value or any project crossing three or more disciplines; below that, single-discipline contracts are usually more efficient. Above ₹50 lakh installed value, or any project crossing three or more disciplines (e.g. AV + security + BMS). Below that, single-discipline contracts are usually more efficient. Above ₹1 crore, turnkey almost always pays back through reduced coordination friction, fewer change orders, and a clean handover.

Do you handle import procurement and customs clearance?

Yes — we handle import procurement, customs clearance, GST compliance and last-mile freight, including cross-border export-import for Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan. Many of our reference brands (Rako, Fibaro, KNX, JBL Professional, K-array, Yamaha) ship internationally. We handle import clearance, customs documentation, GST compliance, and last-mile freight. For cross-border projects in Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan we additionally manage the export-import route.

How is handover documented?

Turnkey handover ships a documentation pack — as-built drawings, labelling schedules, configuration files, calibration reports, AMC enrolment and an operations manual — printed and digital. A documentation pack: as-built drawings, rack and patch labelling schedules, controller configuration files, calibration reports, software licence registers, AMC enrolment, escalation contact list, and an operations manual written for the people who will actually use the system — not the auditor. The pack is delivered both printed and digital.

What's your approach to coordinating with the architect, MEP and interior designer?

We coordinate with the architect, MEP and interior designer through a published shop-drawing release schedule and a written change-order process from project kickoff. We open every project with a coordination meeting and then work to a published shop-drawing release schedule. Cabling pathways, panel locations, riser routing and acoustic envelopes are agreed against the architect's drawings before anything is procured. We attend design and MEP coordination meetings throughout, and we route every change request through a written change-order process so the architect's intent is preserved.

How are commissioning and snagging actually documented?

Commissioning and snagging are documented through a written test plan signed off against measurable criteria (STI, RT60, channel cert, cause-and-effect), with handover following snag closure not a calendar date. A written test plan agreed before commissioning begins. Every system is signed off against measurable criteria — STI in AV rooms, RT60 in cinemas, channel certification on cabling, alarm cause-and-effect verification on fire and ELV, energy-baseline capture on BMS. Snags are logged in a single tracker visible to the architect and client, with target close-out dates and accountability. Handover follows snag closure, not a calendar date.

What happens when a turnkey project includes scope from another contractor — civil, MEP, interior?

We coordinate with civil, MEP and interior contractors but do not own their work — we publish requirements as schedules they build to, or partner with a main contractor under a JV where the client wants single-point accountability. We do not own work that sits outside our discipline. Where civil, MEP or interior contractors are appointed by the client, we publish our cabling and equipment requirements as schedules they can build to, and we attend coordination meetings to flag conflicts early. Where the client wants single-point accountability across all trades, we partner with a main contractor under a joint-venture or principal-sub structure agreed up front.

Will you train our operations team to run the building after handover?

Yes — every turnkey hands over with hands-on training tailored to facilities, security and AV operators, recorded for future hires, with 30- and 90-day post-handover check-ins. Every turnkey hands over with a hands-on training programme tailored to the people who will actually operate the building. Facilities staff learn the BMS dashboard. Security staff learn the VMS and access plane. AV operators learn the room-control presets. The training is recorded so future hires have the same induction, and we follow up with a remote check-in 30 and 90 days post-handover to clear questions that surface in real operation.
