What is a key-turn office fitout?

A key-turn fitout means Progressive Corporate manages every aspect of the project from design through to handover — including all trades, permits and coordination. The client receives a completed, move-in-ready workspace without needing to manage individual contractors.

Timeline depends on project size and complexity. Smaller office renovations can be completed in a few weeks, while larger fitouts may take several months. Progressive Corporate provides a detailed project programme at the outset with clear milestones and regular progress updates throughout.

Both operate from the same Knoxfield base and work together to deliver integrated fitout and furniture solutions.
