IT4 CORE
Only the primary connection provisions are present. The complete digital fit-out is the tenant's responsibility.
The connection point, and nothing else
IT4 CORE stands for 25 to 44 points. The building is connected: the connection reaches into the premises, but nothing is fitted out beyond that. There is no internal IT infrastructure and no Smart Building functionality.
That is not a shortcoming. It is a delivery level that suits tenants who want to determine their own digital environment, for example because they apply their own standards, have their own suppliers or bring their equipment from a previous premises.

What does this mean for your investment?
Expect a complete IT fit-out at your own expense: cabling, patch and server room, network equipment, WiFi and security. The IT-Label makes this explicit in advance, so you can factor that investment into your decision-making and into the negotiation of the rental price.
A tenant may also choose to own a complete fit-out package. In that case, responsibility for those provisions lies with the tenant, not the landlord: the IT-Label assesses only the delivery level of the real estate.
What does this mean for the user?
Delivery level: connection points in place. IT fit-out is required. Who does what can differ per building and lease agreement and is recorded in the IT Demarcation List. Read more about responsibilities.

The IT-Label classifications
The IT-Label has six classifications. Each level describes a different digital delivery level and what that means for the user.
IT3 READY
IT3 READY offers basic cabling and limited WiFi. Additional investment is desirable for professional use, but the building is prepared for it.
IT5 SHELL
IT5 SHELL is a shell delivery without IT provisions. The complete digital fit-out is arranged by the tenant: transparent and factored in beforehand.
Why an IT-Label?
AI, network strain and Smart Buildings raise a new question: is a building digitally ready for how companies work today and tomorrow?
