Making Cat A fit-outs sustainable
Cat A fit-outs are often undertaken simply to improve the appeal of an office space to a prospective tenant. Letting agents and landlords believe a quality fit-out will help close a deal and ensure the maximum possible return on investment.
But often, when a lease has been agreed, the incoming tenant wants to personalise the space to suit its requirements, and the Cat A fit-out is removed with little thought for where it ends up.
Often the light newly installed light fittings and other materials such as the ceiling and carpet are replaced and end up in skips as waste.
