What Is A Commercial Fit Out?
A commercial fit out is the process of making an interior space suitable for occupation in line with the project it is needed for, whether it is a hotel space or a retail project. This could include a complete refurbishment of the space, an upgrade to the existing area and interior or a conversion to change the use of a commercial space. A commercial fit out could also take place following damage to a commercial space, such as flooding or a fire, where a complete strip out and fit out is required.
Commonly, following the construction of a commercial building, the spaces within the building are left clear so that commercial fit out contractors can then determine the level of fit out which is needed.
What Are The Different Types of Office Fit Outs?
Commercial office fit outs are typically classified within three different categories - Category A, Category B and Shell Core fit outs. When deciding on a commercial fit out for your project, it is beneficial to understand more about the different types of fit outs available.
A Category A commercial fit out is what is typically found within commercial space that is ready for renting. It involves a basic functioning space that has some utilities, such as electrical wiring and plumbing. This type of commercial fit out involves the installation of features such as electrical outlets, HVAC systems, toilets and fire protection systems. The space is usually functional, but lacks secondary features within the design that make it fit and ready for the intended use.
A Category B commercial fit out takes business needs and image into consideration. This type of fit out involves installing the features and systems which are lacking in a project following a Category A fit out. This involves the more aesthetic design phase, where the space is made is made to be more specific to the project and can include the addition of window treatments, furniture, lighting installation and flooring.
Shell and core fit outs are when the framework of the building is in place, and is waiting for the fit out process to begin with a commercial fit out company. From the outside, the building may look complete, but it will be missing many important elements, such as power, interior walls, lighting and heating. This type of fit out allows businesses to custom-fit a space in line with the desired specifications, which is more suitable for companies that are taking up a lot of space. This is a much longer process, with more fit out contractors involved with the project.
What Is The Difference Between A Commercial Fit Out and A Refurbishment?
A commercial fit out is a project which takes a completely blank and empty space and makes it ready for use. A refurbishment involves using what is already there, but adapting it to meet the needs of your business. There are, however, different levels of commercial fit outs. Some projects involve a full strip out of the premises back to a Cat A state, followed by a Cat B commercial fit out. This means that every element of the existing project will be removed and disposed of. This is perhaps the most comprehensive type of commercial fit out.
A refurbishment looks to combine elements already present within your space and add in new components based on suiting the changing needs of your business. The amount of work is dependent on the level of change which you are looking to implement, but our fit out contractors are on hand to provide you with advice and recommendations on your project. Typically, a refurbishment will involve the strip out and then re-installation of certain areas or elements within the space.
