A Cat A fit out is the basic finishing of an interior space, this type of fit out includes the installation of a building’s mechanical and electrical services. A Cat A project will also include finished internal walls, reception areas and lift lobbies – but that’s it. With raised metal flooring, painted perimeter walls and a grid ceiling with fitted lights, Cat A spaces are often described as a ‘blank canvas’ as it is ready to be transformed into a Cat B space. Generally commissioned by landlords.

Category B Explained

Cat B fit out follows on from Cat A fit out and shapes interior spaces, involving everything from building different rooms, to choosing the art on the walls. Floorplans materialise, finishes are chosen and branding is pumped into the space, giving clients an end product all their own. If Cat A is a blank canvas, Cat B is a finished work of art. These fit outs incorporate the things that make a space functional, but they also provide the opportunity to bring an occupant’s company to life. Cat B projects are great for clients who want a space tailored to their people and their own requirements.
