What is turnkey?

As the owner or director of a food or beverage manufacturing business, you know your stuff when it comes to your product. Chances are however that when it comes to expanding your factory facility or fitting out a new one, you probably don’t know where to start!

That is why we exist – Oakley work with small, medium and large sized businesses that have identified a requirement for increased production capability to facilitate growth, but acknowledge that they don’t have the expertise, time or resources in-house to do this. Our Turnkey Services deliver the entire project from design through to handover as a turnkey, fixed cost package, reducing risk and allowing you and your team to fully focus on running and growing the business.

In a nutshell, we hold your hand through your entire growth phase, removing the stress, distraction and risk for your business

Why turnkey?

Less stress – Let’s face it, the complexities of FMCG manufacturing can be stressful at the best of times, without the added pressure of trying to coordinate an expansion or fit-out project as well. Our clients found this too, until they realised that by embracing the turnkey approach and entrusting their project to an experienced turnkey partner, they could focus on running and growing their business knowing that their project is in safe hands.

_________________________________

Less disruption – As an FMCG manufacturer, your production schedule is the life blood of your business. We get it – you simply cant afford disruption to core business functions. Entrusting your project to a competent turnkey partner will ensure that the project is being managed effectively in a way that will ensure minimal disruption to your business.

_________________________________

Less risk – This is a big one that is often overlooked by business owners. When you try to manage a project yourself, you leave your business open to the risk of spiraling costs and delays caused by poor project coordination, subcontractor disagreements and unforeseen costs. When you use a reputable turnkey partner, they take that risk on board, giving you confidence that the project will be delivered on time and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

A turnkey food factory fit-out is a complete, end-to-end service that takes a food or beverage manufacturing project from initial design all the way through to final handover, delivered under a single fixed-cost contract. Rather than managing multiple contractors, designers, and suppliers yourself, you hand responsibility to one experienced partner who oversees every stage. Oakley Food Projects provides exactly this: a fully managed process that removes the stress, risk, and distraction of a factory build or expansion from your plate, so your team can stay focused on production and growth.

A turnkey food factory fit-out is the right solution for food and beverage manufacturers who are ready to grow but do not want the complexity of managing a factory build or expansion themselves. This includes small businesses outgrowing their current space, medium-sized producers looking to increase output, and larger manufacturers planning a full facility upgrade. If your business has identified the need for greater production capacity but your team lacks the in-house time, technical expertise, or project management resources to deliver it, a turnkey partner like Oakley Food Projects removes that burden entirely and handles everything on your behalf.

Production continuity is one of the most critical concerns for any FMCG manufacturer, and it is a factor Oakley Food Projects plans around from day one. A core benefit of the turnkey approach is that a single, experienced team manages the entire project, which significantly reduces the coordination gaps and scheduling conflicts that typically cause disruption on site. Oakley works closely with your team to sequence the project in a way that protects your production schedule throughout.

A fixed-cost turnkey package gives you cost certainty from the outset. Rather than taking on the financial exposure that comes with managing multiple subcontractors and absorbing unforeseen costs yourself, you transfer that risk to your turnkey partner. Oakley Food Projects takes responsibility for delivering your project on time and within the agreed budget, meaning spiralling costs and contractor disagreements become their problem to manage, not yours.

Oakley Food Projects provides a full suite of food factory fit-out services under one contract. This includes factory design, factory fit-outs, cold room installations, resin flooring, drainage installations, and white-walling. Having a single team responsible for all of these disciplines means better coordination, cleaner accountability, and a more consistent finished result than you would typically achieve by appointing separate contractors for each trade.

You do not need a fully formed brief to start the conversation. Oakley Food Projects offers a no-obligation consultation with their food factory design experts, whether you have detailed plans ready or just a rough idea of what growth might look like for your business. The purpose of that initial conversation is to help you get clarity on your options and make better decisions before any commitment is made. You can book directly via their contact page or call 0118 228 0888.
