What is an office fit out?
An office fit out is the process of transforming an empty or existing commercial space into a fully functional workplace. This can include office design, space planning, partitioning, flooring, ceilings, furniture installation, mechanical and electrical works, branding and technology integration.
Office fit outs are typically delivered as either Cat A or Cat B fit outs depending on the condition of the space and the requirements of the occupier.
How much does an office fit out cost in Manchester?
Office fit out costs in Manchester vary depending on the size of the workspace, specification, building condition and project requirements.
As a general guide:
Fit Out Type | Typical Cost Range |
Cat A Fit Out | £30 – £80 per sq ft |
Cat B Fit Out | £60 – £150+ per sq ft |

Factors affecting cost include:
- Furniture specification
- Meeting rooms
