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.

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