construction (non-professional)
En un Contrato de Obra (Building Contract) aparecen los partes: (1) el dueño del terreno, que encarga la constucción de una casa, y (2) el constructor (Builder).
El primero aparece en el original español como "Promotor".
"oromotor" se dice en inglés normalmente "developer", pero este término se refiere a los promotores profesionales, que hacen edificios de apartamentos, bloques de pisos o urbanizaciones ("developments").
Para una casa particular ¿se usaría también el término "developer" o sería más adecuado "promoter", u otro término?
Gracias por vustra inestimable ayuda.

Comment: "You dispelled my doubts (which are the typical doubts of the non-native speaker). I had seen it before only in the context of lucrative business or bigger developments.
I also thought that either word could be inappropriate and was thinking of using "land owner". Thank you."

Depending on the sentence, you could maybe add property before developer

: unnecessary, it's obvious by the context that it's the developer of the property

I agree but it was an option to be maybe mentioned the first time the word appeared in text...
