There is no exemption in gst as of now.
It will now be treated as works contract. Rate will be 18%

In easy language turnover means sales
If it is more than 20 lakhs registration is required.

If you can prove they are your employees then no gst on labour charges. If they are not your employees then gst have to be paid on reverse charge mechanism.
