An office fit out is the process of creating or transforming an office space to meet your business' specific needs, whether functional, aesthetic, or operational. A fit out is a comprehensive process, involving the design, development, planning, and construction of a workplace interior that reflects your brand and supports your ways of working. Fit outs can apply to both brand new spaces and the redevelopment of existing ones, (also referred to as an ‘office refit’), ensuring they align perfectly with your business goals.
The scope of an office fit out varies dependending on a number of factors, such as the nature of the business, industry, location, working styles, and company culture. With this in mind, each bespoke office fit out project is tailored to your specific requirements, creating a workspace that inspires productivity and collaboration.
Working with a workplace design and build partner, an office fit out or refit is an opportunity for you to take a space and make it your home. There are several reasons why you might choose a fit out project over other routes. These may include:
Ultimately, the decision between an office fit out and office refurbishment depends on the extent of changes required and your specific goals for your workplace.
Peldon Rose offers a seamless, end-to-end office interior design and fit-out service. Our team is here to guide you through the entire process from beginning to end, maintaining your new workspace after you move in. While every project is bespoke to meet your unique requirements, timelines, and the budget considerations of your business, the process behind an office fit out project with Peldon Rose can typically follow these key steps:
We’ll examine your current situation, what you’re not getting from your current workspace and help you to discover what your business and people need to create a clear brief for the project.
We’ll come with you to view potential spaces and produce test fits to demonstrate if – and how – each space can accommodate you and your specific needs. Once you’ve chosen your new home, we’ll conduct feasibility studies and draw up space plans to further stretch its potential. If you’ve already found your new office location, we’ll familiarise ourselves with the space to understand how we can unlock the potential within.
Our concept and technical designers will work together on creating a workplace design that speaks to your brand, considering both aesthetics, practicality and space maximisation to make the space as efficient as possible. We’ll work with you to alter and finesse this design until you’re completely happy with it, bringing it to virtual reality through visuals.
Working within your timescales, we’ll develop a full programme of events and key milestones within the project.
We’ll draw up the costs, presenting you with all your options and giving you the information you need to make informed choices.
We’ll bring your vision to life as we move forward with the build phase of the project.
We’ll visit as and when you require to keep your new space looking as it did the day you moved in. Whether your space needs a fresh coat of paint, mechanical and electrical maintenance and checks or replacement lightbulbs, our dedicated maintenance team are here to support you.
A Cat A fit out takes an empty space (shell and core) and involves the installation of essential mechanical and electrical systems to make the office space a usable blank canvas. A Cat B fit out builds on a Cat A space; it is the design and build of everything within that canvas, from office floor plans to finishes.

If your current office space is meeting your needs - particularly in terms of location and size - a fit out could be the perfect solution to optimise your workspace. However, if your business is outgrowing the space or if it no longer aligns with your goals, it might be time to consider an office relocation.
Choosing between a office fit out and relocation is a big decision, and we’re here to guide you through the process. Our expert team will help you assess your current space, identify opportunities for improvement, and device the right workplace strategy for your business.
