What Is A CAT B Fit Out?

A CAT B fit out takes a workspace beyond the core infrastructure provided through a CAT A fit out and transforms it into a workplace tailored to a specific occupier.

Unlike CAT A and CAT A+, which are often created for the wider market, CAT B environments are designed around the way an organisation works, helping bring together workplace strategy, brand identity and operational requirements within a finished workspace.

What is Planned Preventative Maintenance?

Projects commonly include:

  • Meeting Rooms
  • Collaboration Spaces
  • Breakout Areas
  • Social Hubs
  • Reception Areas
  • Focus Spaces
  • Training & Learning Spaces
  • Laboratories
  • Furniture and Workplace Settings
  • Workplace Technology Integration

The result is a workplace designed specifically for the people who use it every day.

Why Invest In A CAT B Fit Out?

A CAT B fit out creates an opportunity to align your workplace with the way your business operates.

Beyond aesthetics, it enables organisations to create workspaces that support collaboration, integrate technology, strengthen company culture and improve the overall workplace experience. It is often the stage where workplace strategy, design and brand identity come together within a physical space.

A well-executed CAT B fit out can help:

  • Improve workplace functionality.
  • Support different work settings and working styles.
  • Strengthen company culture.
  • Reflect brand identity.
  • Make better use of available space.
  • Create flexibility for future change.
