Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
Dutch term or phrase: bouwdirectie
A couple of examples used in this agreement:

Tussen ondergetekenden,

Door bouwdirectie belast met de uitvoering [from the context I am guessing that this means "the construction of the plant" in this instance] zijnde company X

Then later on the footnote reads:

"[...] indien de werken voor rekening van een particulier worden uitgevoerd, moet de coordinator worden aangesteld door de bouwdirectie belast met het ontwerp (architect).

My initial thought was "building directorate", but I'm not sure that's right.

A. Van den End\'s Onroerend Goed Lexicon gives \"site management\" rather than managers. But it comes to the same thing.
