                         AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SCHEDULE 13D
                         -------------------------------


         Karl Steiner Holding AG ("KSH"), PSW Holding AG ("PSW"), EBS Holding AG
("EBS"), Peter Steiner, Heinrich Baumann and Esther Baumann-Steiner hereby amend
and supplement  their statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the Common Stock
("Common  Stock")  of  The  Turner  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the
"Company"),  to reflect a 50% stock dividend declared by the Company on July 24,
1998 for  shareholders  of record as of August 3, 1998, and the waiver on August
14, 1998 of the provisions of Paragraph 7(a) of the Agreement Regarding Security
Holder's  Rights,  Obligations  and Options  dated July 20,  1992 (the  "Options
Agreement")  between the Company and KSH, as  hereinafter  set forth.  Except as
amended and  supplemented  hereby,  the statement on Schedule 13D, as heretofore
amended and  supplemented,  including  the  definitions  of terms not  otherwise
defined herein, remains in full force and effect.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Steiner presently owns 9,000 Series C Shares, 6,000 Series D Shares and
30,750  shares of Common Stock of the Company.  In addition,  Peter  Steiner and
Heinrich  Baumann each holds  currently  exercisable  stock  options to purchase
10,500  shares of Common  Stock of the  Company,  which are not  included in the
shares  beneficially  owned by Steiner  for  purposes  hereof.  The Series C and
Series D Shares are convertible at


                               Page 8 of 17 Pages


<PAGE>


any time at the option of the holders  thereof  into an  aggregate  of 2,400,000
shares of Common Stock,  subject to adjustment in certain events. As a result of
the  conversion  rights  of the  holders  of the  Series C and  Series D Shares,
Steiner  may be  deemed  for  purposes  of  Section  13(d)  of the Act to be the
beneficial  owner of the shares of Common  Stock  into which such  Shares may be
converted.  According to the Form 10-Q of the Company for the quarter ended June
30, 1998,  after giving  effect to the 50% stock  dividend  declared on July 24,
1998 for  shareholders  of record on August 3, 1998,  as of August 5, 1998 there
were outstanding a total of 8,038,464 shares of Common Stock, and during the six
months  ended June 30,  1998,  there were  outstanding  an average of  1,264,268
Series B Shares and an average of currently  exercisable  employee stock options
to purchase  638,538 shares of Common Stock.  Each Series B Share is convertible
at the option of the holder  thereof into one share of Common Stock,  subject to
adjustment.  Assuming conversion of the Series C and Series D Shares into Common
Stock but not the  conversion or exercise of any Series B Shares or any employee
stock options,  Steiner would own  beneficially an aggregate of 2,430,750 out of
10,469,214   shares  of  Common  Stock  that  would  then  be  outstanding,   or
approximately  23.2%.  If the  1,264,268  outstanding  Series B Shares were also
converted  into Common  Stock,  Steiner would own  beneficially  an aggregate of
2,430,750 out of 11,733,482 shares of Common Stock that would

then  be  outstanding,   or  approximately   20.7%.  If  the  638,538  currently
exercisable  employee stock options were also  exercised in full,  Steiner would
own an  aggregate  of 2,430,750  out of  12,372,020  shares of Common Stock that
would then be outstanding, or approximately 19.6%.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
         RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE
         ISSUER.

         On August 14, 1998,  the Company  announced that its Board of Directors
had irrevocably waived in their entirety the provisions of Paragraph 7(a) of the
Options  Agreement,  which had  theretofore  provided that until May 31, 2002 or
such earlier time as Steiner purchases Common Stock from the Company pursuant to
Paragraph 8 or Paragraph 11(b) and (c) of the Options Agreement, Steiner may not
directly  or  indirectly  (i)  acquire  or  attempt  to  acquire,  other than by
conversion  of  Series C  Shares,  Series D Shares  or Series E Shares or by the
exercise of any option contained in the Options  Agreement,  any Common Stock or
securities  entitling the holder to acquire  Common Stock (such Common Stock and
securities being referred to as "Equity Securities") if, after such acquisition,
Steiner  would own more than 22% of the  Outstanding  Common Stock (as defined),
(ii)  participate in any  solicitation of proxies or become a participant in any
election  contest with respect to the Company  (other than by exercising  voting
rights as holder of Series C Shares, Series D Shares or Series E Shares), or

(iii)  otherwise  act in  concert  with any  person  with  respect to any Equity
Securities or seek to control the management,  board of directors or policies of
the Company.  As a result of this waiver, from and after August 14, 1998 Steiner
is free to take any of the actions that would  theretofore  have been prohibited
by  Paragraph  7(a) of the  Options  Agreement,  and holders of the Series C and
Series D Shares will be entitled  to  receive,  when,  as and if declared by the
Board of Directors of the Company and of funds legally available for the payment
of dividends, dividends equal to the dividends paid with regard to the number of
shares of Common  Stock into  which the Series C and Series D Shares  could have
been converted on the record date for payment of such Common Stock dividends.
