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.
London office stock ranges from Grade A towers in the City and Canary Wharf to converted warehouses in Shoreditch and Clerkenwell and Georgian townhouses in the West End. Each needs a different approach to access, working hours and landlord approval.
