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.
Für den Innenausbau haben wir einen Architekten engagiert.
We hired an architect for the interior finishing.
'Innenausbau' (interior finishing) is a technical term from construction and architecture. It describes a specific phase in building a house.
Die Firma ist auf den professionellen Innenausbau spezialisiert.
The company specializes in professional interior finishing.
Common verbs in this context are 'den Innenausbau planen' (to plan the interior finishing), 'den Innenausbau machen' (to do the interior finishing), or 'sich um den Innenausbau kümmern' (to take care of the interior finishing).
Wir müssen uns jetzt um den Innenausbau unseres neuen Hauses kümmern.
We now have to take care of the interior finishing of our new house.

'der Ausbau' and 'der Innenausbau' can both refer to finishing rooms. 'der Ausbau' is more general and can refer, for example, to an attic, a basement, or other areas. 'der Innenausbau' is more specific: it means the work done inside a building after the shell construction is complete, such as floors, walls, doors, or installations. The words can be confused because 'Innenausbau' is a special type of 'Ausbau'. When the focus is explicitly on work inside a building, 'Innenausbau' is more precise.
Wir haben den Innenausbau besprochen, weil bald die Böden verlegt werden.
We discussed the interior finishing because the floors will be laid soon.
Nach der Arbeit plant mein Bruder den Ausbau des Dachbodens.
After work, my brother is planning the conversion of the attic.
