Cat A and Cat B fit out

Cat A fit out is the basic fit out of an empty space, creating a base shell comprised of all the necessary components within an office. Cat A fit out includes mechanical & electrical works, ceiling grid installation, lighting, raised access floors, plumbing and basic finishes such as walls and flooring, giving you everything you need to be able to build your unique workspace.

Cat A fit out for your building

When relocating your office, you may be considering buildings in a variety of conditions. To transform an old building into a useable ‘blank canvas’ ready for personalising to your organisation, you will need to undertake a Cat A fit out.

When a lease is expiring, many landlords will also require the tenants to return the space to it’s original Cat A status again, ready for the next leasee.

By taking an intelligent approach to your Cat A refurb, you will ensure the building is in marketable condition, as well as protecting the building for the long term. For some buildings, a Cat A refurbishment could increase the value of your property and help protect assets for the future.

Lease end dilapidations and relocation assistance

Once your lease has expired and you’re considering relocating from your office space, your landlord may expect you to carry out dilapidations to return your building to it’s original Cat A state. We offer a dilapidations service, working with your landlord to ensure you achieve their desired results.

When you are busy organising an office relocation project, sometimes dilapidations on your current building are going to be among the least for your priorities.

If you’re a landlord looking for support with dilapidations, we can apply our extensive knowledgebase to your space, and help you strategise the best forward plan for the space, based on our knowledgebase of research and data gathered from multiple industries, sectors and types of companies. This will help you to attract interest in the space, and offer benefits to your tenants. You can set your space apart by offering in-built workplace tracking in accordance with our app and unique occupancy tracking system, giving your tenants the opportunity to understand how their workplace is performing for their team, thereby giving them the data they need to make informed business growth decisions.
