Keep in mind that this type of contract is mostly used for a power plant, a factory or similar and more risks are allocated to the Contractor. Also, in lump-sum turnkey type of contracts the project is organised strictly on a two-party approach without any Engineer or Consultant beeing involved.
In the case when the Employer or his Architect may have done some or most of the design, with suitable modification regarding conditions of contract regarding design responsibility - the Conditions of Contract Turnkey Projects may be chosen.
