Bus/Financial - Manufacturing
German term or phrase: werkmäßig
The following is an extract where the term appears. I understand it usually means "factory-made" or similar, but I am not sure that quite fits here. Are there other possibilities? Many thanks.

Transparent ist danach sowohl die von dem Agenten im Auftrag der Kunden ausgeloste feste Bestellung der zum Umbau bei ABC vorgesehenen Flugzeuge bei der Firma XYZ als auch die in den Hauptvertragen jeweils in Art. 13 B) festgeschriebene Funktion des Inhabers des Agenten, als Reprasentant der Kunden den Umbau bei der ABC verantwortlich zu begleiten.

disagree  Vittorio Ferretti: "reconstruction" = "Umbau", but where is the required translation of "werkmäßig"?
