Fit-out and new-build lighting in Fife
Fit-out lighting is the installation of new lighting, controls and emergency lighting during a commercial fit-out, refurbishment or new-build, from first-fix containment and cabling to second-fix luminaires and commissioning. We cover Fife, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.
Fit-out and new-build lighting work in Fife
We coordinate with ceiling and partition trades on Fife fit-outs so first fix is done before ceilings close.
Fit-outs in Fife need lighting that meets current energy rules on the day building control signs off, so we check efficacy at design stage.
