has already been named assistant of the client (project owner) Explanation: Maitre d'ouvrage est le client, donneur d'ordre, celui qui commande les travaux ,je crois qu' il n'y a pas de traduction exacte. il y a le maitre d'oeuvre qui est responsable du projet, spécifie les travaux et surveille les intérêts du maitre d'ouvrage. Et il y a l'entrepreneur qui est celui responsable du chantier et de l'exécution des travaux. Ma phrase est un peu barbare mais c'est le sens... |

has already been appointed Owner's Engineer Explanation: "Owner's Engineer" is a relatively new term that has come into existence as a result of changes to terms of contracting, especially for very large contracts, I think. In the past we used to talk of "providing technical assistance to the project Owner", when the French was a "mission d'assistance technique". Haven't found definitions of "Owner's Engineer", but there are plenty of examples of how it is used and what the functions are on the Ouèbbhe. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2007-04-03 08:20:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It might also be a management contractor, as defined below: RESIDENT CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT CONTRACTOR. A prime contractor hired by DOE to perform a variety of construction management services on a DOE-sponsored facility for a long-term basis. These services may include engineering design, construction management, and construction with in-house forces. This definition shall also apply to a prime contractor hired specifically to perform environmental restoration activities on DOE facilities (i.e., an Environmental Restoration Management Contractor Though that tends to be "maître d'ouvrage délégué". Probably amounts to the same thing, barring contract variations. |
