Main-contractor route
Turnkey describes the scope delivered by the main contractor—not a separate procurement method.
Turnkey Service
Turnkey in Ireland is a main-contractor service. Where a project is suitable, a HebHomes-affiliated Irish main contractor can undertake an agreed portion—or all—of the building work under a separate contract directly with you.
HebHomes remains responsible for its own architectural and structural-kit package. Availability depends on location, access, site conditions, programme and contractor capacity and cannot be guaranteed for every project.
AT A GLANCE
One project, clearly defined contracts
Separate contracts
You contract with HebHomes for its package and separately with the affiliated contractor for building work.
Irish professional team
Your architect, engineer and Assigned Certifier retain their project and statutory roles.
Site-specific price
Scope, allowances, exclusions and programme are confirmed after the site and specification are reviewed.

CHOOSE THE SCOPE
Partial or Full Turnkey
The contractor completes an agreed first phase
A typical scope may include:
- Site clearance and agreed groundworks
- Foundations and ground-floor construction
- Drainage and services within the stated scope
- Structural kit erection
- Roofing and external wall finishes
Handover: you or another contractor then completes the internal services, finishes and remaining works. The precise stopping point must be written into the contract.
The contractor completes the agreed building works
A typical scope may extend to:
- Site works, foundations and structure
- External roofing and cladding
- Internal partitions and building services
- Internal finishes, kitchens and bathrooms where specified
- Completion to the written contract specification
Not “everything without limits”: Full Turnkey means the complete scope described in the quotation, specification and contract. Client-supplied items, professional fees, abnormal site costs and other exclusions must be identified.
BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Make the comparison on a like-for-like basis
- Confirm exactly what each contract includes and excludes.
- Separate fixed prices from provisional sums and allowances.
- Check responsibility for access, utilities, wastewater, external works and planning conditions.
- Agree the programme, payment stages, insurance and defects procedure.
- Ask your lender whether the proposed contract and warranty arrangements are acceptable.
- Have an independent Irish quantity surveyor assess the complete project cost.
HebHomes may receive a fee from an affiliated contractor when a project proceeds. The proposed relationship and contractual structure will be explained before you commit.
