interior finishing
All the work involved in designing and completing the interior rooms of a building after the shell construction is finished. This includes, for example, laying floors, painting, or installing doors.
Der Rohbau des Hauses steht, aber der Innenausbau wird noch mehrere Monate dauern.
The shell of the house is up, but the interior finishing will still take several months.
The word is a clear compound of 'innen' (inside) and 'der Ausbau' (development/finishing). So it literally describes the finishing of the inner areas of a building.

Innenausstattung and Innenausbau both concern the interior of a building. Innenausbau refers to the work involved in completing the rooms, whereas Innenausstattung refers to the furniture, decorations, and fixtures present afterward. When the focus is on work done by tradespeople, Innenausbau is appropriate; when the focus is on the finished result, Innenausstattung is appropriate.
Beim Innenausbau der Wohnung verlegen die Handwerker den Boden und setzen die Türen ein.

Die Innenausstattung der fertigen Wohnung besteht aus hellen Möbeln, Lampen und eingebauten Schränken.
