What is an office fit out?

It is the start to finish process of making an internal space be acceptable for occupation.

 

Shell and Core

This is how a developer would handover a building. From the outside the building would appear to be complete, but the inside would be just the structure, with just concrete walls and floors.

What is usually included:

Concrete and metal frame

Loading Bay

Lift Shaft

Lobby

Cat A fit out

Cat A fit out includes the installation of the mechanical and electrical services. This is the stage a landlord can lease, as it is easier to sell to an occupant who wants to create their own unique space.

What is usually included:

Raised Flooring

Suspended Ceilings

Lighting and base small power

Air Conditioning

Fire Detection System

Toilets

Cat B fit-out

Cat B comes after a Cat A fit out, focusing on the interior design which is why it is normally left to the tenant to install. As it is tailored to the individual needs of the business.

These fit outs incorporate the things that make a space functional, whether that be meeting rooms, break rooms or workstations.

What is usually included:

Kitchen area

Floor finishes

Furniture

Partitions and doors, including breakout spaces

Small power to desks

IT installation

Brand detailing and décor
