The foundation that successful fiit-outs are built on

We deliver Cat-A works to a regulatory standard of what landlords need, what occupiers expect, without compromise. Cat-A fit-out is a functional necessity to create your desired workspace.

The mechanical and electrical infrastructure, floor systems, and ceilings installed at Cat-A level will underpin every decision made during the Cat-B fit-out. We work with landlords preparing spaces for market, developers looking to maximise the appeal of their buildings, and occupiers taking on shell spaces who want the strongest possible foundation for their Cat-B fit-out.

What is the difference between Cat-A and Cat-B fit-out?

Cat-A covers the base-build elements that make a space habitable and lettable — M&E, ceilings, floors, and basic finishes. Cat-B is the occupier fit-out: design, partitioning, furniture, and finishes specific to a business.

Can Footprint deliver both Cat-A and Cat-B?

Yes — and there are real advantages to using a single team for both. It removes hand-off risk and means the Cat-A is designed with the Cat-B in mind from the outset.

Do you work directly with landlords and developers?

Yes. We work with landlords, developers, occupiers, and managing agents depending on the project structure.

Do you deliver Cat-A works across the UK?

Yes — we work with clients across the UK from our London base.
