A Smarter Way to Fit Out Your Office
A high-performing workplace should strengthen productivity, well-being, and brand value. Yet many offices still reflect past working patterns. The Office for National Statistics estimates that one in four UK employees now work in a hybrid model, a figure set to rise through 2025 and beyond. These dated spaces are often limited when it comes to acoustic, control, data capacity, and adaptable zones.
Today’s needs for video calls, focused work, and collaboration require more.
That is why the team at Jade Aden Interiors delivers turnkey office fit outs. Our work marries regulatory assurance with design creativity and future-ready infrastructure.
With over thirty years of experience, we help organisations turn under-performing offices into spaces that:
- Raise productivity and staff well-being through evidence-based zoning and biophilic details
- Meet Building Regulations and CDM requirements to reduce legal and lease risks
- Adapt as business needs evolve via modular layouts, raised floors, and integrated power-data grids
Our accreditations underscore our commitment. We are approved contractors for Omega and Aspire Defence. We are also proud to belong to the Finishes and Interiors Sector (FIS). These credentials guarantee quality, safety, and compliance from concept to handover.

Our Office Fit Out Process & Specialist Approach
At Jade Aden Interiors, every office fit out follows a defined, end-to-end process that prioritises compliance, minimises disruption, and ensures your space is built to perform. With all trades and project management handled in-house, we offer full accountability at every stage.
1. Workspace Consultation & Site Audit
Before any design work begins, we conduct a full audit to understand how your office currently supports your operations. This enables us to pinpoint areas where we can enhance performance. We can achieve this by modifying the layout, adding storage, or utilising unused spaces more effectively.
- Analysis of spatial flow, occupancy density, and team adjacencies
- Review of existing zones (e.g. meeting rooms, kitchens, breakout spaces)
- Recommendations for optimising underutilised space
2. Concept Design & Budget Alignment
After the audit, our in-house designers develop custom plans. They support these with 3D visuals and a detailed fixed-cost proposal. The result is a clear blueprint that aligns your goals with practical delivery. Our designs always reflect your brand, function, and budget.
- Spatial layouts that support your operational workflow and team needs
- Brand-led visual detailing with material samples and mood boards
- Sustainable features such as daylighting, reused materials, and low-energy lighting
3. Regulatory Management & Compliance
Our team manages all statutory obligations, acting as a principal contractor throughout. From planning permissions to CDM regulations, we ensure that legal compliance is built into your project from the outset.
- Coordination of planning approvals and building control
- CDM compliance and principal contractor responsibilities
- Specification aligned with Building Regulations and health and safety best practice
4. Delivery & Installation
All installation work is planned to match your operations. You can select phased delivery or out-of-hours options. Every element is completed by our own trusted team, ensuring consistent standards throughout.
- Phased or overnight works to avoid interfering with daily business
- On-site coordination by experienced project managers
- In-house trades covering all joinery, M&E, ceilings, flooring, and more
5. Handover & Ongoing Support
Once installation is complete, we guide you through your new space and provide complete documentation. We also remain available to support you with future adjustments or additional phases as your needs evolve.
- Full project handover with operation manuals and warranties
- Post-occupancy support and client feedback loop
- Adaptations or upgrades managed by the same core team
What’s Included in Our Office Fit Out Service
Our commercial office fit outs are designed to deliver more than visual transformation. Every element, like electrical wiring and finishing details, is chosen, installed, and managed. This ensures lasting value, compliance, and functionality.
If you’re stripping out everything or just updating your layout, our packages cover the essential areas to bring your office up to date:
Category A & Category B Fit Outs Explained
Understanding what’s involved in your office fit out starts with knowing how the process is typically structured. We deliver both Category A and Category B fit outs, either as separate phases or combined into a single turnkey solution.
- Category A fit out: These works include the essential building infrastructure. This includes everything from mechanical and electrical systems, toilets, flooring, and suspended ceilings.
- Category B fit out: This phase completes the space with visual and functional features. This includes everything from furniture, partitions, brand detailing, and AV integrations.
Every component is designed to meet your specific layout and business needs. This way, your space is ready to perform from day one, whether you’re starting with a shell or updating an active office.
Functional Components That Define Performance
A high-performing office is attractive, practical, safe, and purpose-built. We specify, source, and install all technical and structural elements through our trusted in-house team.
- Wiring and electrical systems for lighting, power, and data meet all current regulations.
- Toilet installation and sanitaryware are designed for accessibility, comfort, and hygiene
- Suspended ceilings that absorb noise and conceal services for a clean, modern finish
- Partitioning systems offer options such as acoustic glass, solid panels, and modular designs. They provide privacy while still allowing light to pass through.
- Mezzanine floors to maximise usable space without the need to relocate
Purpose-Designed Spaces for Every Function
We design and fit out spaces that meet the real needs of your workforce. Each area is designed for comfort, compliance, and performance. There are quiet spots for focused tasks and sociable zones for collaboration and relaxation.
- Boardrooms and reception areas that align with your brand image and client expectations
- Breakout areas, kitchens, and canteens that boost well-being and meet Food Standards guidance
- Open-plan and hybrid workspaces with adaptable furniture and tech integration for flexible working
What to Consider Before Starting Your Office Fit Out
A successful office fit out begins with a clear understanding of your needs, timelines, and budget. We help clients define these early on, so the process runs efficiently and without surprises along the way.
- Budget Planning: We help you establish clear cost limits and provide fixed-fee proposals that align with your priorities. A well-designed workspace is a long-term investment that improves motivation and efficiency.
- Timeframe Coordination: Our team will schedule project milestones to align with your operational schedule. This helps cut down on disruption. We can also offer phased delivery or out-of-hours installation if necessary.
- Functional requirements: Do you need more storage, spaces for teamwork, or quiet areas for focus? We design your new layout based on practical insights and your specific goals.
