What is the differences between CAT B Fit Out and a Refurbishment?

A refurbishment is the act of updating and renovating an existing office space, making it more efficient, aesthetically pleasing and/or more brand focused. This is often a space that is already being utilised by a business and is only looking to refresh the space – also known as a CAT B Refurbishment.

A CAT B Fit-Out is the act of taking a Shell and Core or a CAT A Empty Fit Out and creating a brand new space, ready for operation.
