It seems that your translation is the most acceptable - however, in my context "bauseits" und "bauseitig" are used in very different contexts, so it is really difficult to say which translation is right.
Thank you.

agree  Elvira Stoianov: I am almost sure this is in the glossary

neutral  Gillian Scheibelein: without more context, absolutely not. This is an interpretation and not a translation. It could be one contractor writing to another, e.g. builder to the electrician

agree  Steffen Walter: "Bauseits" is a classic in German construction contracts denoting that services/works are to be done by the Bauherr=customer. Built a house myself 2 yrs ago.

on the construction site


Explanation:
I don\'t know the context, but if the customer is speaking of something that would be delivered to him, it wouldn\'t make sense to say \"by the customer\". In this case (and, as I said, I don\'t know the context), it would be better to say: The parts will be delivered to us and installed on site at no charge.
