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.

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.
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.
Many South East offices are 1980s and 1990s business-park buildings where upgrading lighting, ceilings and air conditioning gives the biggest improvement for the budget.
