Nunca he escuchado esta expresión en inglés. Se trata de un contrato en el que el objeto es entregar una fábrica terminada completamente al cliente, por eso "llave en mano".
Any ideas?

Hi Sandra:
I wonder if this is Spanish for the phrase "turn-key". We use that in situations where something is bought and is completely ready to go or to use without having to do anything further to the product or object. Such as buying a house or a car and all you have to do is "turn the key" y ya!
Yes, Vicente!!! That is exactly the translation! Turnkey contract!
Thanks so much, my friend. :)
I think this translation is going to give me a headache!!!:confused:
You're very welcome Sandra!:) I don't want you to have a headache so please do not hesitate to PM me if I can further help you. :DQuote:

Yes, Laura. This term appears all the time in translations, because manufacturers generally wish to emphasize the fact that the product is "ready to use" and using the product is very simple (= you do not need to be an engineer to understand the instructions).

Naturalmente, esto incluye todos los fletes, logística, impuestos, pólizas de seguro, maniobras e inclusive el montaje y las pruebas preliminares.
