Where multi-vendor projects lose time and money
- Finger-pointing when something doesn't fit or doesn't pass testing
- Schedule gaps between suppliers, installers and the MRI manufacturer
- Your team absorbing project-management work it wasn't staffed for
- Unclear accountability for the final shielding performance
What turnkey changes
With a single turnkey partner, planning, manufacturing, installation and acceptance testing sit under one roof and one point of contact. You get a predictable schedule, one accountable team, and a guarantee that the room performs on handover.
The real comparison
Don't compare line-item prices — compare total project risk and time-to-handover. For most facilities, the turnkey model is the lower-cost option once the value of a protected schedule and a passed acceptance test is included.
Frequently asked questions
Is turnkey more expensive?
Usually not, once coordination time, schedule risk and rework are factored in. It is the lower total cost for most projects.
