Choosing the right contractor for a Cat A or Cat B fit-out isn’t only about how the finished space will look. You also need confidence that the team delivering your project takes health and safety, compliance and its responsibilities seriously. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Excel Business Environments has achieved CHAS Elite accreditation for 26/27.
Excel Business Environments is now fully accredited as:
- SSIP Approved: Principal Contractor [CDM]
- SSIP Approved: Contractor [CDM]
- SSIP Approved: Designer [CDM]
These accreditations provide clients, landlords and project partners with additional reassurance that our processes meet recognised standards for health and safety and CDM requirements. They also demonstrate our ability to take responsibility across the design and delivery of commercial fit-out projects.
Why does CHAS Elite accreditation matter?
Commercial fit-outs can involve multiple contractors, different trades, strict deadlines and significant health and safety responsibilities.
Without clear coordination, projects can quickly become difficult to manage. Communication can break down, responsibilities can become unclear, and delays may begin to affect budgets and timescales.
Working with a CHAS Elite-accredited contractor gives you greater confidence that these responsibilities are being taken seriously from the outset. It means our clients can choose one experienced and accredited team to oversee more stages of their project, reducing the need to coordinate several different companies.
Complete Cat A and Cat B fit-outs
Excel Business Environments provides complete turnkey Cat A and Cat B fit-outs for commercial premises.
- A Cat A fit-out typically prepares a space for occupation, covering the essential services and finishes needed before it can be tailored to a particular business.
- A Cat B fit-out transforms that space into a finished workplace designed around the organisation, its team, brand and daily operations.
Our turnkey service can include:
- Space planning and interior design
- Mechanical and electrical installations
- HVAC, lighting, data and power
- Partitions, ceilings and flooring
- Office furniture supply and installation
- Project management and contractor coordination
- Final finishes and handover
From the initial plans to the final pieces of furniture, our team can manage the full project.
One team from concept to completion
Using multiple contractors can create more work for your internal team, particularly when you’re also managing a business, supporting employees or preparing for an office move.
Our turnkey approach gives you one team and one clear point of contact throughout the project.
We coordinate the different stages, manage the contractors and keep the work moving towards completion. This provides clearer communication, greater accountability and fewer moving parts for you to manage.
Most importantly, you have greater confidence that your project is being delivered safely, responsibly and professionally by a fully accredited team.
