: The construction has been completed of the structural shell. Alos,"rough part of building"? I don't like that. "Structural shell" is much better. Also, the roof is waterproofed. That meaning needs included in the English translation.

structural shell would work, but rough is used in construction in the US; rough inspection, for example, is inspection of the unfinished rough construction. I don't know what you mean by waterproofing a roof, if it is built properly, it is waterproof.

completion of structural shell with waterproofed roof
Hello,
I think this means that construction of the structural shell has been completed, including a waterproofed roof.
"Gros œuvre" usually doesn't include a waterproof roof -- only structural shell minus roof (just a roofing frame). But, in this case, the roof has been built since it has been waterproofed. So, it does include the completed construction of a roof.
I hope this helps.
