A CAT A fitout office refers to the basic interior finishing completed by the landlord before a tenant moves in. This level of fit-out typically includes essential mechanical and electrical installations, lighting, flooring, and finished perimeter walls. The space remains open and unfurnished, allowing the incoming tenant to customise it with their own furniture and layout before it becomes a functional workspace.

CAT A vs CAT B FitOut

While a CAT A fitout delivers the foundational elements—such as flooring, ceilings, and basic M&E services—a CAT B fitout takes the space to the next stage. CAT B involves all the design, layout, and furnishing work needed to turn an empty shell into a fully operational and branded office environment.

The complete journey starts from Shell & Core, progresses to CAT A, and is finalised with the personalised design and interior setup carried out during CAT B.
