Turnkey renovations

Turnkey, on this site, does not mean a house GRG is selling you. It means the renovation is delivered as a single accountable job: trades coordinated, finishes built to the plan, and a punch list that closes the work. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, and the finish trades stay with people who do that work. You still have one place to take a question.

The schedule is set from the scope before work starts. GRG's footnoted 21–30 day range refers to typical $50,000–$100,000 renovations and is not a promise for every property. Permits, long-lead items, and concealed conditions move dates, and they move them in writing.

Progress photos, milestones, and written change orders are the baseline. You should be able to tell what is done, what is next, and what changed the budget without flying in. On multifamily work, status should be readable by unit, not only as a single percent complete.

You still own approvals. Name the person and the response time. A turnkey job with no decision-maker is just a job waiting on a text.

It ends on a punch list checked against the scope, not on the afternoon the last trade leaves. Completion means the property is ready for the next step in your exit — list, rent, or refinance prep — rather than “mostly done.” Items discovered as extra work along the way should already have been change orders, not punch-list surprises.
