Office & Rental Fit-Out
Commercial Workspace Engineering: CAT A & CAT B Fit-Outs
Transforming shell units into high-yield assets. From statutory Landlord compliance to bespoke Tenant power and data infrastructure, we engineer the environments where business happens.
Defining Your Fit-Out: CAT A vs. CAT B
Whether you are a Commercial Landlord preparing a property for market, or a Tenant tailoring a new HQ to your brand, understanding the scope of works is critical. Greentech Scotland delivers precise engineering for both stages of the property lifecycle.
Landlord Fit-Out (Category A)
Goal
The "Blank Canvas." Designed for Landlords and Asset Managers. A CAT A fit-out returns a commercial space to a leasable "white box" standard. Our focus here is on statutory compliance, energy efficiency, and functional baselines.
Scope Includes
Installation of raised access floors, suspended ceilings, basic mechanical and electrical (M&E) distribution, HVAC systems, and grid lighting. We ensure the space is clean, compliant, and ready for viewing.
Tenant Fit-Out (Category B)
Goal
The "Living Workspace." Designed for Occupiers. Once the lease is signed, Greentech transforms the empty shell into a functioning office tailored to your culture.
Scope Includes
Installation of cellular offices and meeting rooms, re-zoning air conditioning, bespoke reception lighting, server room fit-outs, kitchenettes, and branded audiovisual integration. We turn the "space" into your "place."
Secure Your Yield: MEES & EPC Compliance
The legislative landscape for commercial property in Scotland is changing. Under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), it is becoming unlawful to grant a new lease on a property with an EPC rating below 'E' (with targets rising to 'C' and 'B' by 2030).
For Landlords, an inefficient lighting or heating system is no longer just an operational cost; it is a barrier to revenue. Greentech specializes in upgrading legacy office infrastructure to modern LED and HVAC standards, directly improving your EPC rating. We protect your asset value, ensuring your building remains legal, insurable, and attractive to blue-chip tenants.
Intelligent Infrastructure for Modern Work
The modern office is more than just desks and chairs; it is a complex machine of data, power, and environmental control.
1
Structured Cabling & Data
Connectivity is the lifeblood of your business. We design and install high-speed Cat6a and Fiber Optic backbones to support high-bandwidth tasks. Our engineers install neat underfloor floor-box distribution and manage the complete fit-out of your Comms Room, including server racks, patch panels, and cooling.
2
Architectural & Human-Centric Lighting
Bad lighting leads to eye strain, fatigue, and low morale. We move beyond basic fluorescent grids to install LG7 Compliant LED solutions designed specifically for screen work. We can integrate Human Centric Lighting; systems that subtlely shift color temperature from cool white (morning focus) to warm white (evening relaxation); to align with your team's circadian rhythms.
3
Fire & Security Integration
When you add partitions to an open-plan floor (CAT B), you disrupt the fire strategy. Smoke detectors and sounders may end up in the wrong place. Greentech re-zones and extends your Fire Alarm Loops to match your new layout, ensuring full coverage. We also integrate Access Control on glass partition doors and secure your server room with biometric entry.
4
Dilapidations (Strip-Out)
Moving out? Most commercial leases require you to return the property to its original state. We provide a rapid Electrical Strip-Out Service, safely removing tenant-installed partitions, data cabling, and lighting modifications to satisfy your dilapidations schedule and avoid landlord penalties.
Tech-Ready Boardrooms & AV
The hybrid meeting is here to stay. A boardroom with messy cables and unreliable connectivity looks unprofessional and wastes time.
Greentech engineers the "Invisible Office." We integrate Audio Visual hardware seamlessly into your meeting spaces.
1
Cable-Free Aesthetics
We utilize underfloor busbars and table-integrated power modules (with USB-C fast charging) to keep desks clutter-free.
2
VC Integration
Hardwired data points for screens and Video Conferencing hardware ensure your Zoom or Teams calls never drop out due to poor Wi-Fi.
Fast-Track Delivery, Minimal Disruption
We understand that every day of a fit-out is a day you are paying rent on a space you cannot fully use. Greentech mobilizes quickly to minimize void periods.
For refurbishments in occupied buildings ("CAT A+"), we operate a Clean Site Protocol. We schedule noisy drilling and power interruptions for evenings or weekends to ensure your staff can continue working undisturbed. Our project managers handle the logistics of delivery and waste removal in busy city-center locations (Glasgow/Edinburgh), ensuring favorable relations with your building management.
