Short definition

The construction work to make a leased premises occupiable for the tenant's use.

Full definition

Fit-out scope ranges from light refresh (paint, carpet, furniture) to full demolition and reconstruction. Major fit-outs typically take 16-28 weeks for an office of 10,000-30,000 sqft, plus an additional 4-8 weeks of pre-construction (design, permits).

Why this matters for Class A leasing

Fit-out is part of the construction vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across Global markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks regional variation alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
