Category B fit-out explained
A Category B (Cat B) fit-out is the tenant's own fit-out on top of a Cat A shell: meeting rooms, offices, kitchens, breakout areas, furniture, finishes and branding designed around how the business works.

Cat B is where the office becomes yours. We start from how many people use the space, how they meet and what they need to store, then build the layout and finishes to suit.
Because Cat B often means altering a Cat A ceiling or floor, we check lighting, sprinkler heads, smoke detection and floor box positions against the new layout before any walls go up.
Many Scottish offices sit in Victorian and Edwardian sandstone buildings where fit-outs work around high ceilings, cornicing and listed-building constraints. Scottish building standards apply to regulated work.

What is the difference between Cat A and Cat B?
Cat A is the landlord's open, serviced shell. Cat B is the tenant's layout, rooms and finishes built into that shell.
Do we need landlord consent for Cat B works?
Almost always. Most leases require a licence for alterations, and we supply the drawings and method statements the landlord's surveyor asks for.
