Landlord works
CAT A delivered so the floor lets, and lets quickly.
CAT A is a letting product. It has to present well on a viewing, satisfy the building's services strategy and give an incoming tenant a clean, documented base to design against.
We deliver CAT A works as a defined landlord package, with the record information a leasing team can hand to a tenant's designer without qualification.
Scope
What the package covers.
Typical scope
- Raised access floor and floor finishes to landlord standard
- Suspended ceiling grid and tiles
- General lighting and emergency lighting
- Primary HVAC distribution and terminal units
- Fire detection, sprinklers and life safety distribution
- Finished lift lobbies, WCs and common areas where in scope
What the landlord gets
- A floor that shows well on a viewing
- A documented services capacity position
- Record drawings for tenant designers
- Commissioning records for the base systems
- A defined boundary for tenant works
- A defects position that is closed, not carried
Interfaces we resolve
- Base build systems and existing risers
- Landlord metering and controls strategy
- Common area finishes and lift lobbies
- Compliance with the building's fire strategy
- Access, hoisting and working hours in a let building
- The handover pack an incoming tenant's team will need
Control
Where the risk actually sits.
The letting date runs the programme
CAT A exists to make a floor lettable. The sequence is planned backwards from the viewing and letting dates, not forwards from site possession.
A clean boundary for CAT B
We define, in writing and on drawings, what a tenant inherits and what they must provide, so the CAT B negotiation is not held over an ambiguity.
Capacity stated, not implied
Cooling, power and ventilation capacity per floor is recorded and handed over, because that is the first question every tenant's designer asks.
