Cat A & Cat B Fit Out Decorations

What Are Cat A & Cat B Fit Out Decorations?

Securak provides professional fit-out decoration services across the UK for commercial refurbishment and fit-out projects. A Cat A fit-out generally provides a basic level of finish and building services, while a Cat B fit-out adds occupier-specific layouts, finishes and features. The exact scope depends on the building, project specification and requirements of the landlord or occupier. Decoration forms part of the wider fit-out scope and can include wall, ceiling, floor and joinery finishes specified for the project.
