Commercial Office Refit Services

When planning a commercial office refit, it’s crucial to understand the distinctions between CAT A, CAT A+, and CAT B fit-out services. Each service level has specific benefits that cater to the unique needs of your business and employees. Therefore, here’s a detailed overview of our office refit services.

CAT A Office Refit Services

A CAT A office refit involves preparing a space to serve as a blank canvas, creating a functional environment ready for tenants to customise. This level of fit-out is typically commissioned by landlords or property developers who are looking to offer a versatile office space.

• Basic Finishes: Installation of raised floors and suspended ceilings, ensuring walls and flooring have a neutral finish. As a result, the space is ready for tenant personalisation.
• Mechanical & Electrical Services: Providing essential services such as air conditioning, lighting, power outlets, fire detection systems, and plumbing, so the space is fully functional from the start.
• Safety & Compliance: Ensuring the office meets all health and safety regulations, including fire safety measures and emergency lighting systems. Consequently, the space adheres to legal standards.
• Lobbies & Common Areas: Basic finishing of communal areas, including reception spaces, helps create a welcoming environment for visitors and employees alike.

CAT A+ Office Refit Services

We are witnessing a growing trend towards CAT A+ office refits in the commercial real estate sector. CAT A+ fit-outs offer a flexible solution that combines elements of both CAT A and CAT B fit-outs. Therefore, they are ideal for businesses that require a space tailored to their specific needs.

• Base Building Works: This includes high-quality structural elements like floors, walls, ceilings, and core services such as HVAC, electrical systems, and plumbing. In addition, these elements are often finished to a higher standard.
• Raised Floors & Suspended Ceilings: Common features that allow for easy access to cabling and other services while providing a clean and modern look. Consequently, they enhance the functionality of the office space.
• Lighting: Incorporating high-quality lighting fixtures, including energy-efficient LED options, to enhance productivity and comfort. Moreover, good lighting is essential for a productive office environment.
• Floor Coverings: Luxurious finishes like carpet tiles or premium flooring materials that add a touch of sophistication to the workspace. Thus, they contribute to the overall aesthetic of the office.

CAT B Office Refit Services

A CAT B office refit goes beyond the basics, allowing tenants to create a fully customised space that reflects their brand identity and operational needs, ready for immediate use by the workforce.

• Final Finishes: Tailored details that align with the company’s branding, including bespoke colour schemes, flooring finishes, and partitioning. As a result, the office space will embody the company’s identity.
• Personalised Workspace: Designing bespoke work areas such as open-plan spaces, private offices, meeting rooms, and breakout zones. Therefore, the space is optimised for the company’s operational needs.
• Technology & AV: Integration of advanced IT infrastructure, audiovisual equipment, and specialist systems required for seamless operations. Consequently, the office is equipped with the necessary technology.
• Furniture & Fittings: Provision and installation of office furniture and fittings that align with company aesthetics and ergonomic standards. Thus, ensuring both comfort and style for the workforce.
