Baupolier/in BP (Switzerland) key terms

The common coordinate or height reference connecting measurements and planned positions, necessary before comparing values that might otherwise use incompatible bases.

The transfer of approved geometric information to the site using an appropriate reference, method, and verification rather than merely reading a drawing.

The difference between a target and observed value under a clearly stated sign convention, requiring a separate criterion before judging acceptability.

The specified protection and conditions supporting young concrete’s development, without replacing required design, material conformity, or appropriate later verification.

A planned interface or interruption addressed by the relevant execution concept, distinct from assuming an unplanned stop has identical technical consequences.

The link between installed material, its identified production or delivery batch, and relevant records so that the actual material can be reconstructed.

A condition that must be satisfied before a task can appropriately proceed, such as valid information, material, access, competence, or required release.

A relationship in which one activity needs another condition or task to occur first, limiting when a planned successor can actually begin.

The coordination of suitable people, equipment, materials, space, and time rather than assuming every available resource can serve unlimited parallel tasks.

An agreed time arrangement for delivery coordinated with access, unloading, storage, and use, rather than a date isolated from site readiness.

The point where responsibilities, activities, information, or physical work meet, requiring coordination to avoid incompatible assumptions or gaps between participants.

An inventory trigger calculated from an explicitly stated demand, lead-time, and reserve model, whose assumptions must fit the actual procurement situation.

The assessment of hazards and relevant conditions informing suitable protective measures, rather than treating a previous incident-free outcome as proof of safety.

Protection addressing people exposed to a shared hazard through suitable technical or organizational arrangements, rather than depending exclusively on individual protective behavior.

Equipment connecting a load with the lifting system, requiring suitable selection, condition, use, and appropriately trained personnel for the actual operation.

The practical arrangement of communication, responsibilities, access, and suitable help or rescue for the actual workplace, supplementing rather than replacing prevention.

An event without actual injury or damage that nevertheless reveals potential harm and can inform factual investigation and improvements to controls.

The assignment of defined work with suitable authority, resources, competence, boundaries, and feedback rather than an unlimited transfer of every responsibility.

A check of what the recipient actually understands, using explanation or demonstration rather than relying only on silence, attendance, or a signature.

Specific communication about observed behavior, effects, expectations, and improvement, distinguished from broad personal labels that do not identify a workable next step.

An explicit transfer of relevant work status, conditions, open points, protections, and responsibilities so that the next participant can act on current facts.

The sum of individual work time across people, distinct from elapsed duration when several people work during the same clock period.

The documented measurement of a defined quantity using appropriate geometry, units, and applicable measurement basis rather than an unqualified commercial estimate.

A factual record linking work, resources, location, time, and relevant conditions, with estimates and observations clearly distinguished for later review.

The analysis of actual resources and costs against the relevant planned basis, requiring context to understand changes rather than interpreting one total in isolation.

The traceable identification and basis of a record change, preserving historical accuracy instead of silently presenting later knowledge as an original observation.
