The “Grade A” label no longer reflects the true quality of UK offices. With wide variation in performance, sustainability, and amenities, the market needs a more accurate framework.

Developed with JLL, BCO’s report “Redefining the Market: Beyond Grade A” introduces a 100-point scoring system covering physical quality, sustainability, technology, and amenity, designed for both new builds and retrofits. It provides occupiers, landlords, and investors with a clear, consistent way to compare office buildings and make informed decisions.
