Readiness for usage/habitation

English Law/Patents Real Estate Construction deadlines/planning
I'm searching for a legal phrase (hope there is one!) which describes when a brand new building is not quite ready for habitation (i.e for the buyers/tenants whoever to move in) but it has been finished (the builders have done their job) and is ready for .......decoration/exploitation?

The only phrase I can think of is ready for exploitation but this sounds so awful.

Any help and suggestions appreciated!

in shell condition

Might be what youare looking for - this means that all the construction has been completed and there is probably a coat of white paint - but that there are no fixtures, fittings, decorative schemes etc - so it is quite ready not quite ready for occupancy.

Note from asker:
Thanks for the suggestion Nesrin but this sounds a bit like readiness for habitation, I was looking for a very formal version of "ready for usage", ;-),
