interieurwerk

Interieurwerk refers to the interior construction and finishing work that shapes the interior of a building. In Dutch- and German-speaking construction contexts, it designates the phase that follows the completion of the structural shell and building services and concentrates on interior spaces, usability, and aesthetics.

Typical components of interieurwerk include partition walls and non-load-bearing structures, ceilings and ceiling systems, interior floors and finishes, doors and frames, and millwork such as cabinetry and built-in furniture. It also covers plastering and drywall, insulation, painting and wall coverings, and the installation of fixtures and fittings.Interior systems are coordinated within interieurwerk as well, including lighting, electrical outlets, HVAC diffusers, plumbing fixtures, and audio-visual installations, all integrated with the interior design and construction.

The process usually involves close collaboration among architects, interior designers, engineers, and contractors. Design and detailing are supported by CAD or BIM tools, with phases that may include design development, procurement, fabrication (on-site or off-site), installation, and quality control. Compliance with building codes, safety standards, and accessibility requirements is an ongoing consideration.

Applications of interieurwerk span residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, and retail projects, ranging from light refurbishments to turnkey interior fit-outs. Materials and finishes are chosen for durability, maintenance, acoustics, fire resistance, and indoor air quality. Sustainable practices, including the use of low-emission materials and efficient installation methods, are increasingly integrated into interieurwerk projects.
