COMMON QUESTIONS
Office fit-out questions we can answer.
Useful whether this is your first office fit-out or you need independent support for an established property team.
How much does an office fit-out cost?
Cost depends on location, floor area, specification, cellularisation, existing building condition, retained services, furniture, technology, access and programme. We can prepare a project-specific early budget rather than relying on one headline rate.
What is included in Cat A, Cat A+ and Cat B?
A Cat A office fit-out provides basic building infrastructure like Raised access flooring and lighting, HVAC but suited for open plan , a Cat A+ adds ready-to-use essentials like desks and meeting rooms, and a Cat B delivers fully customized, branded workspaces tailored specifically to a tenant's operational needs.
Who should we appoint for an office fit-out?
The appointments depend on project scale, procurement route and internal capability. We can explain the roles and help establish the right tender and decision process.
How should fit-out contractor quotations be compared?
Headline totals are rarely directly comparable. Scope, design responsibility, provisional allowances, exclusions, programme, risk and commercial qualifications must be normalised first.
