What Is a Full Turnkey Project and Why It’s the Smart Choice for Remote Sites

genghisdigitalAugust 26, 2025

A full turnkey project means one builder handles everything. You simply “turn the key,” and the site is ready. The builder plans, builds, and delivers a working camp.

For example, Rapid Camps can deliver a complete camp with rooms, kitchens, laundries, power and water. Our team sets up everything, so you turn the key and move in.

How Full Turnkey Projects Work

With turnkey, one team covers all phases. The client has very little to manage. Key steps include:

  • Site & Design: Survey the land, plan the camp layout and get permits.
  • Build & Procurement: Build the camp units and equipment off-site (in a factory).
  • Transport and Installation: Transport the units to the site (by road or air) and install them.
  • Test & Handover: Connect power, water and services: test safety systems and hand over the camp.
  • Operations: Optionally, the contractor can also run camp services (cooking, cleaning, repairs).

From the client’s perspective, there’s no need to manage multiple contractors. One expert team manages the whole project. You have just one point of contact; you don’t need to coordinate anything extra.

Benefits of Full Turnkey for Remote Mining Sites

WA mining sites often face harsh conditions and tight schedules. A full turnkey project is usually the best choice. Key benefits include:

  • One team, less hassle: A single contractor handles the entire project, reducing delays and minimising mistakes.
  • Faster delivery: With everything planned together, the camp can be delivered and set up faster.
  • Known cost: Turnkey projects often follow a fixed-price model, establishing your budget from the outset.
  • Built for safety: Turnkey providers are experienced in meeting applicable regulations and safety standards. They ensure buildings, kitchens and power meet safety standards.
  • Comfort and morale: Good turnkey camps include more than basic shelter. They give workers comfortable living spaces. In WA, experts say “well-fitted camps … ensure a happy and healthy workforce.”
  • Reduced administrative overheads: Industry insights suggest that turnkey delivery may help ease the client’s administrative workload by centralising project management with one provider.
  • Complete solution: The team can provide catering, laundry, and housekeeping as part of the service, delivering a fully managed camp ready for your crew.

Checklist: Planning a Successful Turnkey Camp

To plan a full-turnkey camp, consider these steps:

  • Site survey & approvals: Check the land and get local permits (meet WA safety rules).
  • Define camp needs: Decide your workforce’s size and features (rooms, kitchen, laundry).
  • Choose a turnkey provider: Hire a camp specialist early to plan design and logistics together.
  • Design & engineering: Finalise the camp layout and utilities (power, water, waste).
  • Fabrication: Let the contractor build the camp modules in the factory.
  • Transport: Plan roads or air transport for the modules.
  • Installation & testing: Assemble modules on site, connect utilities and test all systems.
  • Handover & setup: Inspect and hand over the camp. Set up any needed services (catering, maintenance).
  • Operations: Arrange ongoing services (food, cleaning, repairs) to keep the camp running.

Completing these steps will deliver a fully equipped camp with no loose ends.
