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.

Category A fit-out for Birmingham businesses

We coordinate the ceiling grid, raised floor, lighting layout and mechanical services so the finished shell is ready for Cat B works without rework.

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.

West Midlands office stock includes post-war blocks being refurbished for a second life, where new ceilings, lighting and services transform how a floor feels.

What is included

  • Suspended ceiling grid and tiles
  • Raised access flooring
  • LED lighting to landlord layout
  • Heating, cooling and ventilation coordination
