What 'turnkey' includes

Optional add-ons

Why turnkey vs separate vendors

Hiring separate architect, separate contractor and separate interior firm requires you to project-manage three vendors who often blame each other when things go wrong. Turnkey collapses that to one contract. Slightly higher cost than splitting (5-10% premium for integration); much lower project risk and time burden. Most clients prefer turnkey once they understand the trade-off.

Frequently asked

What is turnkey construction?
Turnkey means a single firm handles everything from design to delivery — design, approval, structural, civil work, finishes, fixtures, painting — and hands you the keys to a ready-to-occupy home. One contract, one team, one timeline. Homeli's turnkey scope covers architecture + CMDA filing + structural + civil + finishes; interior (modular kitchen, wardrobes) is an optional add-on.
How much does turnkey construction cost in Chennai 2026?
₹1,800-3,200 per sq ft of built area for turnkey civil (everything except interior). Tier breakdown: Basic ₹1,650-1,850, Standard ₹1,850-2,200, Premium ₹2,200-2,800, Luxury ₹2,800-3,500. Interior add-on: ₹600-2,500/sq ft. For a typical 1,500 sq ft G+1 turnkey civil: ₹28-33 lakh.
Is turnkey construction more expensive than separate hiring?
Slightly — 5-10% premium for integration. But: (1) you save 3-6 months of timeline (no handover gaps between vendors), (2) avoid coordination disputes (cost in time + money), (3) single accountability for warranty, (4) one project manager instead of being one yourself. Most clients consider the premium worth it.
How long does turnkey construction take in Chennai?
12-15 months from design start to handover for a 1,500 sq ft G+1 home: 3-6 weeks design + drawings, 30-45 days CMDA approval, 9-11 months construction. Single-floor smaller homes: 9-12 months total. Villas (3,000+ sq ft): 18-24 months. Homeli's contracts have ₹1,000/day delay penalty.
Does turnkey include the interior?
Standard turnkey covers civil + finishes + fixtures + painting but NOT modular interior (kitchen + wardrobes + furniture). Adding interior makes it 'complete turnkey' — Homeli offers this as an extended contract. Most clients add at least kitchen + wardrobes; full furniture is sometimes deferred.
Can I customise within turnkey or is it standardised?
Fully customisable. Turnkey doesn't mean off-the-shelf — every Homeli turnkey home is custom-designed for your plot, brief and preferences. What's 'standardised' is the process and quality bar; the design and material choices are yours. The contract specifies exactly what you've chosen so there's no surprise.
