What Is A Turnkey Service? And How Can We Help?

What Is A Turnkey Service? And How Can We Help?

If you have taken the first step by deciding to purchase a mobile home, whether it be for a holiday home or annexe accommodation, or perhaps for staff accommodation or temporary accommodation during a self-build project, the chances are that you will want to speak to someone first about whether or not it is possible, and you may have concerns about all the different factors to be considered.

This is where a ‘Turnkey service’ can be of benefit – to have a friendly and knowledgeable team to assist with all aspects of the purchase from start to finish.

‘Turnkey service’ refers to a type of service or project that is fully completed and ready to use by the customer without any additional work or effort required on their part. In other words, the service provider or contractor delivers a complete and functioning product (such as a static caravan) or service, which is ready to be “turned on” and used immediately by the client.

A turnkey service typically includes everything necessary to deliver a complete solution, including design, development, testing, installation, and support. This can include hardware, software, and other necessary components, as well as any necessary training, documentation, and ongoing support.

Turnkey services are often used in complex projects or systems where there are many different components that need to be integrated and tested to ensure everything works together seamlessly. This approach can save the customer time and effort by providing a complete solution that they can start using right away, without having to worry about managing multiple vendors or contractors.

Examples of turnkey services include construction projects, where a contractor provides a fully finished building that is ready to use, or software development projects, where a vendor delivers a fully functional software solution that is ready to be deployed and used by the customer.

NCC : What Does the NCC Approved Badge Mean

NCC : What Does the NCC Approved Badge Mean

 

The NCC (National Caravan Council) has a crucial role to play in promoting best practice, helping members become more competitive and formulating effective public policy and delivery.

As the retailer, the UK Caravan Centre is responsible to ensure that every Leisure Vehicle (Tourer, Motorhome, Holiday Home) sold is SAFE and fit for purpose.  NCC Logo

So how do you know that what is being sold or let is safe? The short answer is that if it carries the ‘NCC Approved’ badge, you can be sure it complied with all the industry construction regulations and standards current at the time when the Leisure Vehicle left the manufacturer’s factory. That independent reassurance is invaluable to the retail business and customer alike.

There are quite literally hundreds of regulations and standards governing Leisure Vehicles, many of which are concerned with safety and not covered under the Road Vehicle Type Approval process. There is no regulatory approval process (National Type Approval for Road Vehicles does not cover habitation – the accommodation parts of a caravan) for checking compliance with these standards and the legislation. Therefore the NCC does this job, working with many partners (British and European standards organisations, Health & Safety Executive, Gas Safe, Fire Inspectorate etc.) to ensure the industry’s products comply and are safe.

The NCC Manufacturers’ Approval Scheme imposes a strict inspection regime on manufacturers to provide consumer protection over and above the requirements of the British/European standards. Every unit that has been approved is licensed to carry an NCC Approved Badge. A certificate is also issued to the consumer detailing the specification of the model that was inspected and approved.

Inspections are conducted on-site at a manufacturer’s premises and depending upon specification, there may be 500 to 600 individual points checked on any one unit. This inspection process is complemented by unannounced surveillance checks at the factory to ensure that the products continue to comply with the relevant criteria. As such, the badge provides a reliable benchmark by which product liability can be measured.

The emphasis of the scheme is on consumer safety and its objective is to ensure the UK Leisure Vehicle industry exceeds the fundamental criteria for products to be safe and fit for their purpose. Its independent verification provides the retailer with essential reassurance that a product meets the recognised criteria and the scheme itself is a crucial element of the good reputation of the industry.
