peer agreement (net): +1(work on) Roads & Utility services Explanation: VRD = Voirie et Réseaux Divers which in my glossary I've got as: "External Works, or Roads & (Utility) Services (=water, gas, elec, phone, lighting, sewers, drains,etc.)" Not sure what my source is, though |

external works, site works Explanation: On a building project, VRD corresponds to "external works" or "site works" in English, ie all the (more or less) related works that are not within the envelope of the building, such as drainlaying, road building, landscaping, gates, fences, etc. <<external works. Construction works outside a building, a trade that groups roadbuilding, drainage, landscaping, street furniture, fencing, and the like>> [Scott/Penguin Dict of Bldg] |
