As a design and build company in Egypt, NoVi carries the design and the construction under one contract. You approve one design, one bill of quantities and one programme, and a single team answers for the result, which is what turnkey (تسليم مفتاح) should mean.

The model scales. For Madinet Masr in Taj City, New Cairo, we are the design and build contractor for The Marquee, a 1,500-seat venue of about 4,675 m², and the Kinda Community Center. For a family, the same approach delivers a finished villa, run under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system.

Turnkey in Egypt: one contract instead of five

The usual Egyptian route splits a project between a designer, a finishing contractor, an electromechanical subcontractor, a joinery workshop and a furniture showroom. Each one is right in its own contract, and the gaps between them become your problem: details redrawn on site, quantities re-priced, weeks lost waiting for the next trade.

Design and build closes those gaps. The people who drew the shop drawings coordinate the site, every change becomes a priced line in the BOQ before it is built, and handover is a single date rather than a negotiation between contractors. For the method behind it, see our design and build service.

What a turnkey contract covers in Egypt

  1. Architecture and interiors

    Layouts, façades where allowed, interiors and 3D, all approved before execution.

  2. Electromechanical works

    Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire and light-current systems coordinated with the architecture.

  3. Finishing works

    Masonry to paint at the level you choose, from super lux to high-end. See finishing in Egypt.

  4. Joinery and kitchens

    Doors, dressing rooms, cladding and kitchens made with our manufacturing partners and installed by our team.

  5. FF&E and furniture

    Furniture, lighting and accessories selected, procured, installed and styled for handover.

  6. Landscape and pools

    Gardens, hardscape, pergolas and pools delivered with the house, not after it. See landscape design.

Six stages from design to handover

  1. Concept, design and 3D

    Survey, brief, layouts, mood boards and 3D views of the key spaces.

  2. Technical development

    Shop drawings, MEP coordination, value engineering and the EGP bill of quantities.

  3. Procurement and approvals

    Developer permit and deposit, then materials ordered against approved samples.

  4. Construction and execution

    Our site team builds to the drawings, with regular progress reports.

    Typically 4–8 months, depending on scope

  5. Quality and project control

    ISO 9001 inspections at every stage, health and safety on site, and snagging.

  6. Handover

    Furniture installed, systems tested, styling done and documents handed over.

Approvals inside a turnkey contract in Egypt

  • Developer permit and deposit. Finishing drawings, the refundable deposit and the compound's site rules are built into the programme, not discovered on site.
  • Architectural and structural changes. Extensions, façade works and structural changes need developer consent and, where applicable, a district permit under the Unified Building Law, supported by a registered engineer's drawings.
  • Utilities and safety. Power upgrades, gas routes and fire systems in commercial and community buildings follow the utility and Civil Protection requirements that apply to them.

How a turnkey project is priced in EGP

A turnkey contract is priced from the BOQ, not a headline rate per metre, which matters in a market where material prices move.

What is in the contractEffect on the total
Unit conditionRed brick needs the full scope; semi-finished may save items or require rework
Finishing level and stoneThe largest single variable in a residential budget
JoineryKitchen, dressing rooms, doors and cladding are often the biggest line
MEP scopeConcealed or central AC, electrical upgrades and smart systems
Furniture and landscapeIncluded or excluded; decide early, because lead times set the end date

How your price is built: site survey, then the design you approve, then a BOQ priced item by item in EGP, then a fixed quotation you sign before work starts. We do not publish per-m² prices. See what drives finishing cost on villa and apartment finishing in Egypt.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what clients ask us before a site survey. Not covered here? Ask the team directly.

Ask the team

What does تسليم مفتاح (turnkey) include with NoVi in Egypt?

Whatever the contract lists: typically design, electromechanical works, finishing, joinery and kitchens, and, if you choose, furniture, lighting and landscape. Each is a priced section of the BOQ, so nothing is assumed and nothing is left for a second contractor.

Is one turnkey contract more expensive than hiring a designer and contractor in Egypt?

Item for item, not necessarily. What it removes is the cost of the gaps: redrawn details, re-priced quantities and idle weeks between trades. You also compare one BOQ instead of several quotes built on different assumptions.

Can you take a compound villa from red brick to move-in?

Yes. We handle the developer permit, execute every trade and hand over with furniture installed if it is in the contract. Execution typically takes four to eight months depending on area and scope.

Do you do design and build for developers and community buildings?

Yes. In Taj City, New Cairo we are design and build contractor to Madinet Masr for The Marquee and the Kinda Community Center, and our Egyptian projects include gates, clubhouses and residential compounds.

How are payments structured on a turnkey contract in Egypt?

Payment stages are written into the contract before work begins and follow defined milestones, so you know what each payment in Egyptian pounds covers. Approved changes are priced as separate BOQ lines.

Can I run a turnkey project from abroad?

Yes, and turnkey suits it best, because one team holds every trade. You approve the design and BOQ online, then follow progress through regular updates until handover.
