Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering | | Swedish term or phrase: Sidoentreprenör | As one of the defined terms:
Sidoentrprenör: Andra entreprenörer som under egna kontraktet med beställaren fått uppdrag att utföra arbeten som har beröringspunkter med kontraktarbetena.
It is clear from the context what it means, but I can't seem to come up with the right word in English. The best I have come up with so far is "parallel contractor" (for which the there is a reference below), can anyone confirm or dispute this? Thanks

Sidoentreprenör är den som vid sidan av entreprenören utför entreprenad åt beställaren i anslutning till eller inom arbetsområdet.

The proffered translations "sub contractor" and "joint contractor" are thus both wrong. |

| Grading comment Thanks for the link. Although with so few google hits for this expression, I think we have to accept that it is not a well-used English term. I went for parallel contractor in the end, as at least my link has a clear academic reference as a translation of the Swedish.
