For Commercial Landlords
Commercial Property Works Delivered on Time and on Programme.
Fit-out, refurbishment, dilapidations, compliance, and EPC improvement — under one principal contractor. We understand lease cycles, void costs, and what it means to deliver a property that is ready to let on the date it needs to be.
What Happens When the Contractor Does Not Understand Commercial Property
Commercial landlords face a different set of risks from residential ones. A void that runs three weeks over schedule is not just frustrating — it is lost rental income and a re-letting timeline that slips. A contractor who does not understand lease cycles, dilapidations, or compliance obligations creates problems that are expensive to fix and even more expensive to explain.
RCB understands commercial property — the lease cycle, the compliance obligations, and the cost of a void that runs over.

How We Work With Commercial Landlords
From commercial brief to handover documentation — programme-led at every stage.
Commercial Brief and Survey
We review the property, the lease cycle, and your re-letting or refurbishment brief. We identify compliance requirements, programme constraints, and commercial priorities before we produce any figures.
Scope and Commercial Programme
A detailed scope of works, estimate, and phased programme is issued. You know what is being done, when, and at what cost — before you commit. Statutory requirements and compliance works are clearly identified.
Principal Contractor Delivery
We take responsibility for all trades, materials, building control, and CDM coordination. Your managing agent has a single point of contact. You are not managing a site — we are.
Handover and Documentation Pack
Works certificate, building control sign-off, compliance certificates, and photographic record issued at handover. Your legal and letting agent files are complete. The property is ready for market.
Why Commercial Landlords Choose RCB
Accredited, insured, and experienced in the delivery standards commercial property demands.
Principal Contractor — Not a Building Firm
We operate as a principal contractor under CDM 2015. That means full accountability for health and safety, trade coordination, and programme delivery. Commercial landlords need a contractor who takes ownership — not one who manages sub-subcontractors by text message.
Commercial Landlord FAQs
Do you handle Cat A and Cat B commercial fit-outs?
Yes. We deliver both Cat A and Cat B fit-out works — from base build and services installation through to full occupier fit-out with joinery, AV, and specialist finishes. We can work to a landlord or tenant brief and coordinate with architects and interior designers as required.
Can you manage dilapidations works at lease end?
Yes. We work to landlord schedules of dilapidations, execute reinstatement works to the required standard, and provide photographic documentation throughout. Our works records protect your position whether you are recovering costs from a departing tenant or demonstrating reinstatement to a new one.
Can you help us improve an EPC rating before re-letting?
Yes. We advise on and deliver EPC improvement works — insulation, glazing upgrades, mechanical plant replacement, and lighting upgrades. We work with energy assessors to understand what is needed and deliver the works in the most cost-effective sequence.
How do you manage fire compliance in commercial buildings?
Fire compliance is a core part of what we do in commercial property. We coordinate fire risk assessment, compartmentation surveys, emergency lighting, sprinkler upgrades, and remediation works. We work with appointed fire engineers and do not start compliance works without a clear scope from a qualified specialist.
