Modern AFAIK this is a modern building being converted to a hotel/student accommodation. The text doesn't give much info about the age of the building. I believe it is a former barracks which is to be completely gutted and new storeys and an extension are to be added.

redressage d'arase this should be your question, the levelling of the wall covering (plaster), but then again, more context is needed for a definite answer..

@ Asker As BDF says, more context is needed to figure this one out.

In classical architecture, the 'tympanum' is the triangular panel occupying the space between the square top of the wall and the sloping roof of a gable-end — which in many cases was carved or otherwise decorated. So this would seem to be logical with yout 'tympan' as a feature to be conserved.
Not sure about the 'arase' part, though... I'll see if I can find that in one of my glossaries, i remember seeing it soemwhere and being surprised about the meaning...
B D Finch Mar 29, 2018:
Context required What sort of building is it? What period and type of architecture? Are the "tympans" a decorative feature? As far as I am aware, "box-end stanchion end walls" isn't an architectural or construction term at all and is totally meaningless.

In France these are a feature of masonry construction.

French term (edited): redressages d’arase de tympans de pignons

correcting/levelling/smoothing the gable slopes

Given that you think this is a modern building without decorative tympanum, I think you can treat "tympans" as redundant. All it does, in this case, is indicate that it isn't about a levelling course to the foundations or over a ring beam.

Note that I have re-parsed the header term, including "redressages", as this is necessary for it to make sense and for the purposes of translation.
