Rules and approvals in Cardiff
Fit-outs fall under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, so roles, plans and safety information need to be in place. Building Regulations apply to fire, escape routes and many layout changes.
Work that needs Building Regulations approval can go through Cardiff Council building control or a registered building control approver. Building Regulations are devolved in Wales, so the Welsh Approved Documents apply.

Questions
Office fit-out in Cardiff: common questions
Do you have office fit-out installers in Cardiff?
We are a new network and are still signing installers up. If we cannot match your job in Cardiff, we tell you. We do not pass it to someone unsuitable.
What is the difference between Cat A and Cat B?
Cat A is the basic landlord finish: ceilings, lighting, raised floors and toilets. Cat B is the tenant's own fit-out on top: layout, rooms, kitchens, finishes and furniture.
How long does an office fit-out take?
Small refurbishments can be a few weeks. Larger Cat B fit-outs are often two to four months including design.
Can we stay in the office during the works?
Often, by phasing the work or working out of hours. It usually adds time and cost.
