Connecting two small offices that are close, but in different buildings

My company is expanding into the building next to us, and door to door, it's less than 100' away. There's approximately 5' of permeable ground between the buildings. Both offices are wired for cat 6. My plan is to have a contractor pull any required permits and run (weatherproof exterior) cat 6 between the offices, burying and going up walls and over the roof as needed. I'll join the second office's network into a switch in the first office.

I'm considering that maybe I should run multiple lines in exterior conduit for scaling and failure, or fiber, but this may be overkill. Thoughts? Is there a better way? Something I'm not thinking of?
