Bethesda construction update: Joe & the Juice (Photos)
The interior fit-out of juice bar Joe & the Juice is still in the early stages at 7263 Woodmont Avenue in downtown Bethesda. It appears the expected August opening will certainly be delayed at this point.
#1: Why is this window shot not taken head-on? The surface is non-reflective. Vertical alignment is getting better.
#2: A construction photo with an actual construction worker actually doing construction. I believe that's a first here. Vertical alignment and choice of focal point is getting better. Good job, Robbie!
#3 and #4: vertical and horizontal alignment not so good, focal points not clear. Both photos are essentially the same view - why were both of these pictures included? You don't need to "look busy". Quality is more important than quantity.
Weird their advertising slogan on the front says "not your average joe" it's almost like they are advertising for or don't know about Not Your Average Joe's.
Robert, you're close but not quite right. The construction that occurs within the walls of a lease - including fixtures, partitions, lighting, and electrical - is fit-up not fit-out. You can certainly use fit-out or build-out, but the technical term is fit-up.
6:28...Fit-out is jargon in commercial real estate referring to the improvements made by a contractor to the inside of a leased space. I implore you to reference another source besides the "Dictionary of Construction" and maybe you will learn something today! So please, be quiet. Grown folks is talkin'.
@6:41 I referenced Dictionary of Construction because it had the simplest explanation. I could have linked to a Pace case study or a series of articles about the benefits of offering fit-up (or out, whichever you prefer) to leasing tenants, but the plain definition seemed best. Especially when the commentariat here likes to condescend and patronize to anyone who dares voice a different opinion. Maybe you should be quiet. People who understand the rules of grammar are talking.
Robert, thank you for clarifying. I Googled fit-out and couldn't find any uses of it - only in reference to fit-up, but if DEP has been using it in permits, it is of course appropriate for you to do the same.

"The interior fit-out"
There's that weird phrase again.
6:28: I guess you aren't familiar with retail construction, then.

You've worked in retail construction, Mr. Dyer?
9:59 AM on Wednesday morning, and Bethesda Magazine already has three new articles up, to SNN's one.

7:00: And none of them are about Bethesda. I have two up, and they're both about Bethesda. Sit down, chump.
6:43: I've written about it for 11 years.
Distraction again. You were asked about working in retail construction, not writing about it.
So, have you worked in retail construction?

I always wear a tux when I'm demo'ing a building.
11:10: You'll have to forward that to MoCo DEP, who have been using "fit-out" on permits for years.

Suze, my Google brings up many references to fit-out. You might want to check your permissions and filters.

@4:33 - Thank you for that. Not sure why my initial search yielded only results for "fit-up".
7:22AM Always happy to help.
