3D Modelling and CAD Designers

Our design team will create 3D images and will help you model your fit-out project. In order to help clients see their future space or make important decisions, they can create a 3D virtual plan of your spaces for you that reflects the design developed by our designers.

This gives users a better sense of scale, depth, and proportion in a final design, making 3D modelling very useful for fit outs. As shop fit out contractors, we provide comprehensive solutions, from measured building surveys and site surveys to delivering 2D architectural sketches, drawing packages, all necessary permissions and permits, and 3D visualisations. Our project management team is there for you all the way to the completed build.

What is Cat A Fit Out?

While there’s no standard specification, Cat A spaces are usually finished with a suspended ceiling, lighting, heating, and raised flooring. This would be the functioning space that landlords would lease, leaving it up to tenants to install the functional design and finishes that suit their workplace through the form of a Cat B fit out.

It’s all pretty basic, but it’s a habitable space and usually with no concrete in sight! If you’re thinking all you need to do now is move in and furnish the space, you might want to think twice.

While a Cat A space could technically be habitable, they are often a bare-bones, open-plan finish that’s then treated as a blank canvas for interior and retail designers.

What’s usually included in your Cat A fit out:

Raised floors and suspended ceilings (with a basic finish)
Basic mechanical and electrical services
Fire detection services and smoke alarms
Air-conditioning and ventilation (HVAC)
Basic internal finishes

What is Cat B Fit Out?

Cat B follows on from a Cat A fit out to provide a space that your company can simply move into and start working. Since this is something often tailored to your brand, these are usually left for the tenant to design and install.

There’s a lot of work that goes into transforming the blank canvas of a Cat A fit out into a functioning Cat B space. As expert shop fit out contractors, we ensure that a Cat B office fit out is tailored to the individual needs of your business and workforce, delivering the right mix of workstations, breakout areas, and meeting rooms. Plans are often done before any design work is started to understand how employees are using their desks and meeting rooms, ensuring that the new design is a suitable fit for the workforce.

A tailored Cat B fit out should also reflect your brand and work ethos; including furniture and custom design elements that embody your corporate personality. This isn’t just about choosing desks and furniture, but about ensuring that your office is somewhere that your employees will love to work; all while helping you attract and retain your industry’s best talent.
