UK landlord delivery standard — base building plus raised floor, ceilings, basic MEP fit-out">fit-out.
A Cat A handover provides the tenant with a workable shell — raised floor, suspended ceiling, basic lighting, finished perimeter heating/cooling. The tenant then completes Cat B (partitions, finishes, furniture).
Cat A is part of the construction vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across UK markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks the UK definition alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
