Fit-out and space types

Cat A: The landlord's base fit-out: raised floors, suspended ceilings, lighting, air conditioning and finished toilets. An open floor with no kitchen, meeting rooms or furniture, so you fit out the rest.
Cat A+: Cat A with a ready-made fit-out from the landlord: kitchen, meeting rooms, furniture and data cabling, so you can move in and work from the first day. Usually a higher rent and little or no fit-out cost.
Cat B: The fit-out to your own design, on top of Cat A: partitions, meeting rooms, kitchen, furniture, IT and your brand. Usually paid for by the company, sometimes with a contribution from the landlord.

What Grade A and Grade B mean: Grade A is new or fully refurbished space from about the last 10 years, built to the BCO specification. Grade B is older space whose services work but are dated.

How managed, serviced and leased space differ: Managed space costs 15% to 40% more per desk than serviced space, for a floor that is yours alone, on 1 to 5 years. Serviced space is shared, on a short term. A lease runs 5 to 10 years and you fit out and run the space.

How long it takes: A managed floor takes 2 to 4 months from choosing the space to moving in, because the operator fits it out to your design. A serviced office takes days to weeks.

Start 2 to 4 months before you need the floor.

A managed floor is fitted out to your design before you move in, and whole floors in the best buildings are the first to go. If you are leaving a lease, start 18 to 24 months before it ends.
