Category A Fit Out

A Category A fit out refers to the initial preparation of an interior space by the landlord or building owner. It focuses on delivering a functional blank canvas, providing all the essential mechanical and electrical systems required for the space to operate safely and efficiently.

Typically, a Category A fit out includes:

• Installation of mechanical and electrical services such as lighting, power sockets, and air conditioning ducts.

• Raised access floors ready for cabling and service installations.

• Suspended ceilings with fitted light fixtures.

• WC facilities, basic fire detection systems, and safety infrastructure.

• Plastered and painted internal walls.

• Finishes to reception areas, lift lobbies, and communal spaces.

In other words, a Category A fit out provides the infrastructure and compliance essentials — clean, safe, and ready for occupation — but without any of the personal touches or design elements that make a space uniquely yours. Think of it as the foundation upon which your bespoke workspace is built.

Category B Fit Out

Once the groundwork is in place, a Category B fit out brings your workspace to life. This is where your company’s personality, culture, and values are reflected through design and layout. A Category B fit out allows you to work closely with your fit out partner — in this case, Foursquare Workspace — to create a space that supports your brand, your people, and the way you work.

During the planning process, we’ll take the time to understand your business goals, workflows, and vision for the future. From there, we’ll design and deliver a tailor-made office environment that’s both stylish and practical, ensuring every element serves a purpose.

A typical Category B fit out includes:

• Partitions and doors to define workspaces and meeting areas.

• Floor finishes chosen for durability and design.

• Internal air conditioning and ventilation adjustments.

• Audio-visual and IT infrastructure, including comms rooms and data cabling.

• Café, tea points, and kitchen areas for staff wellbeing.

• Reception areas that make a strong first impression.

• Meeting and conference rooms with flexible layouts.

• Furniture selection and installation, including ergonomic workstations and storage.

• Branding and finishing touches, such as feature walls, signage, and décor.

• Specialist lighting that enhances mood, focus, and energy.

This phase is where design meets functionality — transforming the blank Category A interior into a fully operational workspace that embodies your company’s identity.
