Thanks for this one, was fun to look for a solution !!

Are you translating into British English? If American, "fit-out" wouldn't work at all.

Fit out refers to the process of making an internal space suitable for occupation. It’s the transformation of a concrete shell into a working space; from installing facilities (like the loo!) and raising the flooring, to creating internal spaces, such as meeting rooms, breakout spaces and kitchens.
As the tenant, it’s important that you confirm with your landlord or developer what level of finish they’ll provide. Often a space will be provided by the landlord or developer as either a Shell and Core or a Cat A fit out, leaving it up to the tenants to create the final 'working' space through what we call as a Cat B fit out.

Cat A Fit Outs
Refurbishments encompassing the basic structure of a renovation, without furnishings, is referred to as Category A. These spaces are generally habitable, yet empty spaces landlords utilise as basic structures to build upon.
:
Cat B Fit Outs
Category B builds upon the Cat A option by adding furnishing, fixtures and other finishing elements. No need to wait to move in, and in fact our competent and skilled project managers will be able to support your business in the transition.

he scale of the office fit-out you’ll have to undertake will also depend on whether you’ve purchased your office space or are leasing it, as most building owners will ensure at least a basic fit-outhas been completed before letting out an office.

Category A Fit Out refers to the tenant’s own space Fit Out. This is the basic Fit Out and includes all the processes like electrical and mechanical installations. Suspended Ceilings, Fire Systems, Lighting, Air Conditioning, are included in this Fit Out. In Category A Fit Out, you can expect grid ceilings, fitted lights, raised floors, internal surface finishes, blinds, etc.
Category B is developing the internal space according to the tenant’s requirements. Category A is a blank canvas and Category B is filling out that canvas. With Category B, you can have the chance to create a new vision that perfectly matches your company. This makes the office functional that includes Private office spaces, IT Common Rooms, Kitchen/ Snack areas, Reception Area, Floor finish, Doors, Meeting and Conference Rooms, Installation of Furniture and so on.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "In the end I went for "extended basic fit-out" since UK English was specified and "fit-out" seems to be the best translation for "Ausbau" in this context. Thanks to everyone for their input!"

extended basic interior construction

Unter dem Grundausbau versteht man primär Kosten, die mit dem erstellen der Liegenschaft anfallen. Der Grundausbau einer Gewerbeliegenschaft umfasst die fertig gebaute Liegenschaft, ausgenommen ist die Mietfläche (HNF), die im Rohbau (nach Abschluss Baumeisterarbeiten) erstellt ist.
