Explanation:
It seems on the face of it to be talking about some kind of shop-fitting — I am not familiar with this term in EN, and wonder if it is possible from the US?

The idea seems to me that the construction work is already finished, and now they are just fitting it out — funny how we say 'fit out' in GB and apparently 'fit in' in US!

agree  Didier Fourcot: Aménagement du local terminé en fonction de son usage, c'est plutôt fitting-out d'habitude, mais un client américano-austrlien utilise ce terme pour des boutiques de chaussures

agree  Virginie Mair: "Fit-up" avait aussi été discuté dans un contexte un peu différent... http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/law:_contracts/2...
