Baumann-Steiner  hereby amend and  supplement the statement on Schedule 13D with
respect to the Common  Stock  ("Common  Stock")  of The  Turner  Corporation,  a
Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  previously  filed by them and  others.
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 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Steiner  has learned  that an offer has been made to  purchase  all the
Common  Stock of the Company at a  substantial  premium in excess of the highest
market  price at which the Common  Stock has ever traded in the public  markets.
Steiner  intends to urge the Board of  Directors  of the  Company to accept this
offer and  believes  that the offer is fair to all  stockholders  of the Company
from a financial  point of view.  Furthermore,  if the Board of Directors of the
Company decides to support, accept or acquiesce in the offer, Steiner intends to
sell its shares in the Company to the offeror.  Although  Steiner cannot predict
what  may  happen,  it  is  possible  that  a  merger,  tender  offer  or  other
extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Company may occur.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

         The following exhibits are filed with this Amendment No. 5:

         10. Power of Attorney,  dated June 14, 1999, by EBSPSW, PSW, EBS, Peter
     Steiner, Heinrich Baumann and Esther Baumann-Steiner authorizing Richard R.
     Howe to sign  statements on Schedule 13D and  amendments  thereto (filed as
     Exhibit No. 9 to Amendment  No. 4 to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by
     Steiner with  respect to the Common  Stock of the Company and  incorporated
     herein by reference).
