maîtrise d'ouvrage d'exécution

English translation: project management of the construction phase

French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Property development
French term or phrase: maîtrise d'ouvrage d'exécution
I know these terms have come up a lot previously, but I can't find this precise term in the glossary. Can anyone help at all? It's in the context of property development, and this area is one of the developer's key areas of expertise (alongside major urban projects, etc.)

Many thanks.

English translation:project management of the construction phase
Explanation:
maîtrise d'ouvrage = "project management" and some others have used this
d'exéctution = the construction phase and some others have used construction (or implementation)

so for me, this is the clearest and safest bet.

Explanation:
I don't believe "ouvrage d'exécution" is a specific type of construction project; he's just saying he has experience with managing projects.

Explanation:
Inductively from the asker's explanation, rather than deductively from the 'French' label.

Example sentence(s):
  • L'assistance à la maitrise d'ouvrage du projet dans sa phase de réalisation est assurée par ST Groupe (www.st-groupe.fr). ue2008.fr ST Groupe also provided the support for implementing the project in its development phase (www.st-groupe.fr).

the Performance & Control phase of project management


Explanation:
There are five phases in project management (but different names are used for the phases by different people, and some -- less numerous -- theories say there are only four, if memory serves):

https://www.smartsheet.com/blog/demystifying-5-phases-projec...

In theory, what the developer is saying is that it specialises in stage 4 of project management, i.e. "Performance & Control" according to the website I've posted, to the exclusion of the other phases.

In theory.

I just left out one or two small details, ahem:

1) exécution > performance, in a legal context: perform an agreement

2) See the ProZ glossary for confirmation of maîtrise d'ouvrage > project management

the Performance & Control phase of CONSTRUCTION project management

But the construction bit will be obvious from the developer's overall profile.

So, depending on context:

As a headline:

"EXPERTISE IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT OF THE PERFORMANCE (AND CONTROL) PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS"

"AND CONTROL" can be omitted, according to taste.

Long but, I claim, right.

In the body of a text: "the Performance and Control phase of construction project management". (With or without the caps, again, according to taste.)

Depends on your "audience", of course, if he/she/they doesn't/don't understand "performance" in this context, well that's where Aughrim will be lost (it's an Irish thing, means when it's "done" or all over bar the shouting, over)!

master of assigned work carried out


Explanation:
There's a mission with a guarantee that assigned work is carried out with respect to planning, materials and working regulations. The mission includes guidance and directives of the work undertaken, with quality control and the financial administration in the workplace (building site or shipyard). It includes attendance to the master of assigned work until the receipt and the issue of stocks and supplies. There's also the verification or auditing of definitive business files, with records of the work carried out to completion. It encourages workers to gain a certificate of compliance and attendance throughout the year, with achievements such as completed projects of work.

'Il existe également la possibilité de l'assistance en vue de l'abtention du certificat de conformité et l'assistance durant l'année de parfait achèvement (des oevrages et des projets des travaux réalisés). '

It's about project or construction management. The work involves production, manual labour or craftsmanship. It's about tasks of work to be completed in sections, hence the reference to project work and administration. If we put something to work we use functioning and computational tools or equipment, while there are projects of work to be done bit by bit. Another side of production work is its administration, for which notebooks, registers and workbooks are recommended, where the work can be recorded along with staff attendance, materials and equipment used as well as resources. The costs involved in replacing materials used for the maintenance of a continuing supply of resources can also be noted. Project managers or owners are near administrators.

(FR: Il s'agit de la gestion ou la possession et la délivrance de la réalisation d'un projet. L'oevre est du travail de production ou de construction, comme les travaux manuels qui font de l'artisanat. C'est également sur les tâches et les travaux achevés peu à peu. Quelqu'un à l'oevre a du travail à faire. Quand on met quelque chose en oevre on utilise des outils de travail et les outils informatiques. Il y a donc les projets du travail qu'il y a à compléter peu à peu. L'ouvrage est aussi du travail et quand on se met à l'ouvrage on se met à travailler aussi pour faire la partie administrative d'un projet. Pour ça il y a des livres ou des cahiers d'ouvrage et on fait des registres ou on consigne des rapports sur le personnel qui arrive pour faire du travail, les dates et les jours avec des tâches ou des oeuvres réalisés. Dans l'enregistrement il est possible d'y metttre aussi des notes sur les individus qui prennent partie de la réalisation d'un projet, et des outils de travail avec n'imports quels des coûts à payer pour remplacer des matériaux utilisés.)

Example sentence(s):
  • 'Il y a une mission qui consiste à s'assurer que les travaux sont réalisés en respectant les plans, les matériaux et les mises en oevre règlementaires. Cette mission comprend le suivi et la direction des travaux et le contrôle de qualité des trava
  • Il existe la gestion financière du chantier, l'assistance au maître d'oevrage jusqu'à la réception et la levée de toutes les réserves, la vérification des mémoires définitifs des entreprises et des dossiers sur les oevrages exécutés.'
