In this case, finished means that the DIY metal building is equipped with all of its utilities, such as electricity, heating and air conditioning, running water, and all of its furnishings. Hardwood floors and cutting-edge lighting fixtures are standard in these structures. Man caves, she-sheds, and retail spaces are all examples of this type of structure.
