The Difference Between a Shell House and a Turnkey. Why Choose to Buy an Unfinished House?

When it comes to buying or building a house, one of the first questions that pops is “Should it be traditionally built or on a wooden structure?”. But there’s an equally important question that should be asked. It’s an aspect that will have a great influence on the build-up, the budget, the time spent before moving in, as well as coming up with your own custom design ideas. We’ll tell you all about the difference between a shell house and a turnkey.

Practically, a shell house comes with the walls and roof, while a turnkey house is fully equipped to the last switch.

If you’re not willing to be involved in its build-up, but wish to be part of the set-up and design (tiling, flooring, wall painting or choice of sanitary fixtures) you can opt for a shell house or a semi-finished one and continue working on the final finishes.

A shell house, we think of an unfinished house with foundation, masonry and the roofing structure (just the framing, without the coating). The outside and interiors, the sanitary and electric equipment, the windows and doors are not included.
