Frequently asked questions
A Cat B fit-out, also known as Category B fit-out, refers to the customization or tenant-specific fit-out of an office space within a commercial building. Unlike Cat A fit-out, which provides the basic infrastructure and services, Cat B fit-out involves the design and installation of partition walls, meeting rooms, breakout areas, kitchenettes, reception areas, furniture, branding elements, and any other features or finishes required to make the space fully functional and tailored to the tenant’s requirements. Essentially, Cat B fit-out transforms the basic Cat A space into a fully operational and personalized office environment according to the tenant’s needs and preferences.
In a Cat B fit-out, services typically include design consultation, space planning, interior design, partitioning, electrical and lighting installation, HVAC integration, flooring selection, furniture procurement and installation, branding and signage, audiovisual integration, and project management.
To prepare for a Cat B fit-out, consider the following steps:
1. Define Requirements: Clearly outline your space requirements, including the number of workstations, meeting rooms, breakout areas, and amenities needed.
2. Set Budget: Determine your budget for the fit-out project, considering both construction costs and furniture procurement expenses.
3. Choose a Design Team: Select an experienced design team or interior designer to assist with space planning, interior design, and furniture selection.

7. Coordinate Logistics: Coordinate logistics for furniture delivery and installation, as well as any temporary relocation of staff during construction.
8. Communicate with Stakeholders: Keep employees and stakeholders informed about the fit-out process, timelines, and any disruptions to regular operations.
9. Monitor Progress: Regularly monitor progress during the fit-out process and address any issues or changes as needed.
For your Cat B fit-out, you can choose from various office layouts:
1. Open Plan: Large, open workspace promotes collaboration.
2. Cubicle: Individual workstations offer some privacy.
3. Private Offices: Enclosed offices provide maximum privacy.
4. Combination: Mix of open plan, cubicles, and private offices.
5. Team-based: Groups work in shared spaces for collaboration.
