Office Fit-Out Options
Base Build Fit-Out
A shell and core fit-out is the most basic type of fit-out, involving the initial preparation of a space. This process includes the installation of essential structural components, cladding, and basic mechanical and electrical systems, leaving the space ready for further interior work. It provides the fundamental framework upon which future fit-out stages, like Category A or B, can build.
Category A Fit-Out
A Category A fit-out builds upon the basic shell by turning the space into a fully operational but unfinished area. It typically includes installing features such as suspended ceilings, raised floors, and partition walls, as well as essential systems like fire alarms and air conditioning. While the space becomes functional after this stage, it remains a blank slate, ready for further customisation. At this point, the next step is to evaluate how the space will be used and determine the specific requirements and settings to suit its intended purpose.
Category B Fit-Out
A Category B fit-out transforms your space into a vibrant, fully functional office. This stage includes installing wall partitions, specialist lighting, and adding branded elements and furniture with carefully chosen fabrics and finishes. It’s also the phase where key features like drinks points, kitchens, digital signage, and integrated technology are fitted. At this point, the design vision comes to life, creating a complete and operational workspace ready for your team to move in and start working.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an office fit-out?
An office fit-out refers to the process of transforming an empty or unfinished space into a functional working environment. Office fit-outs typically fall into three categories:
- Base Build Fit-Out: This involves the installation of essential structural elements, leaving a blank canvas for further development.
- Category A: This phase includes adding basic internal finishes, such as floors, ceilings, and lighting, making the space ready for occupation.
- Category B: The final stage involves personalisation, where decoration, furniture, branding, and technology are added to create a fully functional and tailored workspace.
How long will my office fit-out in Manchester take?
The timeline for your office fit-out depends on the size and complexity of the project. Once we assess the scope and specific requirements, we can provide a clearer estimate. Typically, fit-outs can take as little as four weeks for smaller projects, with most being completed within 12 weeks.
What’s involved in your office fit-out?
Each office fit-out is unique, tailored to your specific requirements, but most projects follow a similar process.
The first step is to assess your current office layout and understand your goals for the new space. We work closely with you to identify the changes you want to implement, whether that’s reconfiguring the layout, enhancing functionality, or updating the aesthetics.
Once the plan is finalised, we move on to executing the transformation, refreshing the space to meet your needs. After the fit-out is completed, we allow time to make any final adjustments, address any snags, and conduct a thorough review before the final sign-off.
How much does a workplace fit-out cost?
The cost of an office fit-out typically ranges from £15 to £150 per square foot, depending on the level of fit-out – whether it’s a Standard, Mid-Level, or High Spec project. Since no two projects are alike, there isn’t a fixed price list to follow. Each project is priced individually, taking into account factors such as space size, design complexity, and specific requirements.
What is the difference between a fit-out and a refurbishment?
An office fit-out involves creating or altering a space to meet specific functional and design needs, often from a blank or partially completed shell. This process includes tasks such as installing partitions, flooring, and furniture to create a fully operational workspace. On the other hand, office refurbishment focuses on updating or improving an existing space without major structural changes, typically to refresh the design, enhance functionality, or modernise outdated elements.
What is the difference between fit out and interior design?
Fit-out refers to the physical construction and installation within a space, such as adding partitions, flooring, electrical systems, and furniture to create a functional environment. Interior design, on the other hand, focuses on the aesthetic and functional elements, including colour schemes, furniture choices, lighting, and overall spatial planning. While fit-out is a critical part of the process, interior design encompasses a broader scope, combining both functionality and aesthetics to create a cohesive and inspiring workspace.
