Existing designs and site
Construction drawings, available ground information, site access and building footprint are assessed. Foundations, column pockets, concrete walls and other structural works to be undertaken are identified.
SCOPE OF WORK
Shell Construction
We carry out foundations, reinforced concrete and structural-frame works in accordance with approved construction drawings and technical requirements, preparing the building for subsequent work.
ENGINEERING AT OUR CORE
Erkonsan undertakes shell construction for factory and industrial investments in Ankara on a project basis. The scope of foundations, column pockets, concrete walls and structural work is defined together with drawings, site conditions and responsibilities. Our Polatlı OSB and Başkent OSB references demonstrate work at different scales.
Clarifying the scope at the outset
Every included work item is identified when preparing a shell construction quotation. Excavation, foundations, column pockets, concrete walls, columns, beams and slabs are assessed for each project. Not every project includes all of these works.
Foundations, reinforcement and site works
Formwork and reinforcement preparation, concreting and connection details follow the construction drawings. Work sequences are planned together with the superstructure and subsequent packages.
Coordination with the client and other teams
Responsibilities for precast supply, erection, service penetrations and subsequent works are clarified at quotation stage. Completing the shell does not mean all operating facilities and finishes are complete.
References documented in photographs
The 2,500 m² Sevinç Treyler and 2,000 m² Maker Makina projects in Polatlı OSB, along with Eker-Mak and Egemak, are shell construction references. Area, location and work undertaken are explained on each project page.
Shell construction scope
- Defining a project-specific shell construction scope
- Foundations, column pockets and associated concrete works
- Coordinating formwork, reinforcement and concrete work
- Clarifying scope boundaries and handover points for subsequent works
SCOPE AND DELIVERY01 02 03
We define structural responsibilities at the outset
The boundaries of each work package, from foundations and column pockets to the frame, are determined through the design. We also consider projects outside Ankara based on site, scope and programme, prioritising nearby provinces.
Work packages and team responsibilities
Responsibilities for excavation, formwork, reinforcement and concrete, and precast manufacture, transport and erection are defined separately. Openings and connections needed by subsequent teams are coordinated.
Handover to the next stage
Completed works are checked against the agreed scope. Structural handover is not presented as equivalent to completion of facade, building services, finishes or a production-ready facility.

Excavation, blinding concrete, formwork and reinforcement, concrete foundations and backfilling around foundations for a 3,500 m² factory.
Maker Makina · Polatlı OSB ↗
Only shell construction was undertaken for this 2,000 m² factory. Site photographs show construction of the frame and multi-storey section.
Depending on your building’s current stage, we can define the scope of shell construction, completion of unfinished buildings or turnkey delivery together.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About Shell Construction
Is shell construction the same as a turnkey factory?
Shell construction covers specified structural works. Turnkey delivery also includes completion of agreed building services and finishes. Each service’s scope is defined separately in the quotation and contract.
Do you undertake only foundations or concrete works?
Specific work packages are assessed project by project. Sharing your requirements, existing drawings and allocation of site responsibilities helps clarify the scope.
Do you have shell construction references in Polatlı OSB?
Sevinç Treyler, Maker Makina and Eker-Mak are our shell construction references in Polatlı OSB. Areas and construction details are available on their project pages.
Are precast manufacture and erection included in a shell construction quotation?
These responsibilities are defined separately for each project. Foundations and column pockets, precast manufacture, transport and erection do not have to be undertaken by the same contractor. Each package’s responsible party and handover boundary are specified in the quotation.

We provide services across Türkiye depending on the project scope. The work to be undertaken is defined through a joint assessment of location, scope, target programme and site conditions.
How do we approach projects outside Ankara?
- Initial assessment: We assess requirements using the province and district, approximate building area, intended use and any available design drawings.
- Scope and site: We assess the need for shell construction, completion or turnkey delivery, the condition of any existing building, site conditions and the need for a site visit.
- Programme and quotation: We define the quotation scope by clarifying the work, site organisation and target programme.
