Questions
Office fit-out: common questions
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.
