dimensioned / measured


Explanation:
"The dimensions of the prefabricated parts are determined after local measurements on-site"

I have a feeling that the author found a snazzy technical term and made a botch of his sentence. While uel is absolutely right in her straightforward translation, I would rewrite the sentence as above.

by the way, "aufmassen" = dimensioning.
