Category A fit-out explained
A Category A (Cat A) fit-out is the base-build finish a landlord provides so a floor can be let: suspended ceilings, raised floors, lighting, heating and cooling, and finished perimeter walls, with no tenant-specific rooms.

Cat A work is usually commissioned by landlords, agents and developers preparing space for a new tenant. The aim is a clean, compliant, open floor that a tenant's own designer can plan into.
We coordinate the ceiling grid, raised floor, lighting layout and mechanical services so the finished shell is ready for Cat B works without rework.
In Northern Ireland, many businesses occupy Victorian commercial buildings in Belfast and town-centre premises regionally, where refurbishment brings older space up to modern standards.
