Dutch term

AFWERKBEDRIJF

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
From a client list of an aerial work platforms manufacturer:

verhuurbedrijven, overheidsinstellingen, schildersbedrijven, schoonmaakbedrijven, dakdekkers, installatiebedrijven, aannemingsbedrijven, ***afwerkbedrijven***.

No other context, just the list...

I'm struggling to find an English equivalent for the term.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
