Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
French term or phrase: contre découpage d'ouvrage
there is very limited context to this. It appears in a comprehensive insurance claim where there is damage to a PVC network. Inside a box for "informations complémentaires" (additional information), there appears the following (my translation in parenthesis):

Entrepreneur (Contractor)
Marché - Plomberie (Sector - Plumbing)
Type - **contre découpage d'ouvrage** (Type - ???)
Assureur - Cet intervenant est assuré dans le contexte de la P.U.G. prescrite pour ce chantier

I'm understanding that a plumber has intervened to repair damages "contre" (as opposed to...) what??
Any suggestions
