What Is Turnkey Facility Delivery?
Turnkey facility delivery means one partner takes your project from an empty building, or bare land, to a fully operational facility: design, permits, construction, racking, automation, equipment, installation, commissioning, and the maintenance program after. You turn the key; everything works.
It is the delivery model MTLI was built for, combining our construction, racking, automation, installation, and maintenance divisions into a single accountable team. No gaps between contracts, because there is only one contract.
What Turnkey Includes
Design and engineering
Facility, structural, and systems design built around your operation and growth plan.
Construction

Racking and storage
Engineered, permitted, and installed from 500+ manufacturer partners worldwide.
Automation and conveyors
ASRS, conveyor, sortation, robotics, and the controls and software layer that runs them.
Installation and commissioning
Equipment installed, integrated, tested, and proven at rate before handover.
Maintenance program
A full program designed for your facility: preventative maintenance, inspections, and lifecycle support.
How MTLI Works With Turnkey Facility Delivery
Design & Engineering
It starts with your data, not a catalog: throughput, product profile, building, and budget. Our engineers design the right answer, with stamped drawings and permits where structures are involved.
Supply & Procurement
We source across 500+ manufacturer partners worldwide, brand-agnostic, new and used where it makes sense, with volume pricing passed through to you.
Installation & Commissioning
Our own crews install, integrate, and commission, phased around live operations when needed, with an MTLI supervisor on site every day and 98% on-time delivery.
Support & Lifecycle
After handover we stay: preventative maintenance programs, inspections, controls support, and 24/7 options, designed around your uptime targets.

Common Questions, Answered
How is turnkey different from design-build?
Design-build covers the building; turnkey covers the operation: racking, automation, equipment, commissioning, and maintenance are all inside the same contract, from empty building to a facility that ships on day one.
Is turnkey more cost competitive than managing vendors myself?
Usually, yes. One mobilization instead of five, volume discounts from 500+ manufacturer partners passed through, no markup stacking between contractors, and no gaps between scopes, which is where budgets usually leak.
Who do we deal with during the project?
One MTLI point of contact, backed by our 250+ in-house team, with a supervisor on site daily. You see one schedule, one report, one accountable partner.
What happens after handover?
The same team supports the facility: warranty, preventative maintenance programs, inspections, and 24/7 support options, designed before handover, not bolted on after.
