Introduction
When building a home, one of the first decisions you’ll make is whether to go for grey structure construction or opt for a turnkey (design + build) solution. Both options have their advantages, and choosing the right one depends on your timeline, budget, and how involved you want to be in the construction process.
What is Grey Structure?
A grey structure includes all the basic elements of construction: foundation, walls, roof, plaster, and basic plumbing/electrical conduits. You’re handed a shell of the house, and you handle the finishing phase separately.
Pros:
- Cost-effective initially
- More flexibility in finishing choices
- You can manage materials and finishes independently
What is Turnkey Construction?
With turnkey projects, you hand over the responsibility to a construction company that manages everything from design to finishing. You walk into a ready-to-live house.
Pros:
- Stress-free construction
- Single team accountability
- Saves time and coordination efforts
Conclusion
If you want more control over finishes and have time to supervise, grey structure might suit you. But if you prefer a hassle-free, professionally managed project, turnkey construction is the better choice. At Archs and Bricks, we offer both tailored to your budget and preferences.
