CAT A Fit Out is a standard level of commercial interior construction that prepares a floor plate or commercial space ready for a CAT B Fit Out. It typically includes the essential infrastructure and basic finishes necessary to make a space functional, but it does not include the specific interior design or decorative elements that would be included in a CAT B Fit Out.
CAT A Fit Out provides a blank canvas for tenants to customise according to their specific needs and preferences. ICON would typically work with landlords to refurbish their buildings to provide a CAT A space ready to lease to potential tenants.
A CAT A+ fit-out is an upgraded version of the standard CAT A Fit Out in commercial office space. While CAT A Fit Outs provide the basic infrastructure and finishes necessary to make a space functional, CAT A+ Fit Outs offer additional enhancements and improvements, often including some level of customisation, making them more ready for immediate occupancy by tenants.
CAT A+ Fit Outs strike a balance between the simplicity of CAT A and the fully designed CAT B Fit Outs. CAT A+ spaces provide great opportunities to potential tenants who are looking to move fast, often referred to as plug and play.
