What is an Office Fit Out?

An office fit out is a specialised service that fundamentally transforms an office space to enhance both its functionality and visual appeal. This process is crucial in commercial refurbishments and renovations, ensuring that the workspace is not only efficient but also conducive to productivity. 

HQ Renovations, a fit out company in London, categorise these transformations into three primary types: Cat A, Cat A+, and Cat B.

Each category of office fit out service, as detailed below, offers different levels of customization, tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of businesses, making it easier to find an ideal solution that aligns with operational goals and aesthetic values.

The choice between these categories allows organisations to precisely scale their environment’s design and features according to their unique brand requirements and functional needs.

Selecting the right fit out contractors in London is crucial as it impacts the project’s outcome significantly. Experienced contractors, like HQ Renovations, have the expertise to guide our clients through the complex process of office transformation, from initial design consultation to the final touches. Their deep understanding of each fit out category ensures that every aspect of the office design is executed to perfection, reflecting our client’s vision and enhancing the overall workplace environment.

Ultimately, an effective office refit contributes to a more dynamic and inspiring workplace. It not only reflects the company’s identity but also boosts morale and productivity among employees.

How do I know if I want an
Office Refit or an Office Refurbishment?

Consider what stage you are at in the development process. A fit out is undertaken in the instance of a new office space, be it a landlord or developer, looking to bring a building up to industry regulations, or a tenant ready to put their stamp on the new office space.

Office refurbishment will often apply to refreshing your existing space, from renovations to design and re-branding. 

Cat A Fit Outs vs. Cat B Fit Outs

Understanding the differences between Category A fit outs and Category B fit outs is essential.
When embarking on a commercial fit out journey, the distinction between these categories plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of your workspace. At HQ Renovations, our commitment to excellence is unwavering whether you lean towards Cat A or Cat B. With a team of expert fit out contractors in London, we bring a fusion of functionality and visual appeal tailored to your brand's identity.

Cat A Office Fit Out in London
A Cat A fit out involves building on the main structure (the shell and core) of a space, and then focusing on creating a blank canvas comprising of the basic necessities. This means that elements like lighting, air conditioning, toilets, flooring, ceiling, and basic fire detection are completed.

Cat A fit outs guarantee your building is structurally sound and complies with regulation codes. This is ideal for landlords that want to refurbish a dilapidated building for sale, ensuring they can appeal to a wide clientele ready to put their own mark on it.
With a Cat B fit out you benefit from everything found in a Cat A fit out, plus additional features that allow a personal touch and make the space readily designed and functional for moving in. This includes partitions and doors, floor finishes, cafes, kitchens, furniture, branded décor, specialist lighting, design elements, bookshelves and more.

In a Cat B fit out, everything can be tailored to suit your business needs, from open plan to calming and compact workspaces. A Cat B fit out supplies everything you need in the office to function in your day-to-day and can be deigned to align beautifully with your brand. This is ideal for clients that want to tailor a space to their company or prepare the office space for rent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an office fit out different to an office refurbishment is the stage of development you are looking for. Cat A and Cat B will typically occur in the beginning stages of the office, with the former transforming the shell and core to bring it up to basic standards, and the latter, adding in the more personal details so it’s move-in ready. A refurbishment will make changes to the already existing and used space to make improvements. If you’re unsure whether you need a fit out or a refurbishment, enquire with a member of our team today for help.

A renovation typically depends on the stage of development you are looking for. Like a refurbishment, a renovation is often needed to make changes to the currently used space. While the two terms are often used interchangeably, renovation is usually a larger-scale, structural project, and a refurbishment tends to be smaller and less intrusive.

A fit out contractor will get your building ‘move-in ready’. With a Cat A fit out, that would mean bringing the shell and core up to regulation and making sure it complies with health and safety law, often used by property managers and landlords. A Cat B fit out adds in the finer details that bring in furnishings, décor and additional amenities that a tenant will need to put their personal stamp on the project.

There are several factors that will contribute to the timeline of a fit out project, from the type of fit out needed, to the size of the space. While the time commitment of each project varies, we always strive to deliver in the time frame promised. To learn about how long your project could take, enquire today.

The typical price range of an office fit out can vary greatly from project to project as no two office fit outs are the same.

Cat A fit outs can range £20-£60k depending on size of office and fittings such carpets, lighting, new electrics, new partitioning’s and ceilings.

Cat B fit outs have a much broader scope, we start from £20k, up to 1/2 million depending on full specification.
