Work place refurbishments can take various forms. It is often unclear what renovations would include and what the different terminology would actually mean. It is also difficult to understand who is responsible for different parts of the new workspace and how each development phase should take place. Office fitouts or commercial fitouts in Newcastle refer to making a work place ready for people to occupy and work in. It is of course very different from the structural development work a building would require. In most instances it is the contractor that is responsible for the base construction while the fine details are taken care of by a specialist. However these take various forms and there are some jargon that you need to understand. Let\’s look at some of them.

The base structure
\r\n
The base structure or the idea of a shell or the core was developed by American contractors initially. It has been used to provide landlords an easy mechanism to develop a space and rent it out without having to add any additional working detailing or furnishings. Nowadays the term shell and core is popularly used as the first step in an office revamp process. It is the phase in which the workmen will look at the basic structure and base of the space so that the finer details can be then developed. Usually this stage will cover the basic requirements such as the washrooms, reception, stairways, lifts, emergency exits etc.
