Tech/Engineering
German term or phrase: Bauauftraggeber
Wird von uns gelieferte Ware durch den Besteller in Bauwerke eingebaut, so werden bereits jetzt die Forderungen des Bestellers an den Bauauftraggeber für den Fall einer nicht rechtzeitigen Bezahlung bis zur vollen Höhe des Wertes der gelieferten Ware an uns abgetreten.

English translation:The "Bauherr"
Explanation:
simply is the "builder". As such, you can contract out the work to a construction company (which will do all the subcontracting) and will deliver a turnkey product, or manage the job yourself by hiring carpenters, plumbers, electricians individually (supposedly to save money, but not recommended according to a friend of mine who did it)

agree  John Jory: The key is 'Auftraggeber', regardles of whether the order is for a building or a service. The Auftraggeber is not necessarily a company. It can also be an individual or an institution.
