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.

How we deliver it

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.

What is included

  • Layout and test-fit drawings
  • Meeting rooms, offices and focus rooms
  • Kitchens, tea points and breakout
  • Feature ceilings, lighting and finishes

Frequently asked questions

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.

Can you reuse our existing furniture?

Yes. We plan the layout around furniture you are keeping and only supply what you actually need.

Do you offer category B fit-out across the UK?

Yes. We deliver category B fit-out in every UK nation and region, with a free survey wherever you are.
