Which document typically defines the scope and stipulations of a Turnkey contract?

1. Contract Agreement

2. Project Charter

3. Scope of Work

4. Design Document

The correct answer is: Contract Agreement

The document that typically defines the scope and stipulations of a Turnkey contract is the Contract Agreement. A Turnkey contract is structured so that the contractor takes full responsibility for delivering a complete project that is ready for use upon completion. The Contract Agreement incorporates the terms and conditions under which the project will be carried out, detailing what the contractor is obligated to provide—this includes the scope of work, the timeline, the budget, and any relevant specifications. It serves as the formal, binding document between the parties involved, ensuring that they have a mutual understanding of their responsibilities and expectations throughout the project. While other documents, such as a Project Charter, Scope of Work, or Design Document, may provide supplementary details or outline specific aspects of a project, it is the Contract Agreement that encompasses the entire agreement and holds legal weight concerning obligations and deliverables associated with a Turnkey project.
