French term
phase d'élaboration
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Context: scope of health and safety assignment on a construction site:
Cette mission concerne la phase de conception, d'étude et *d'élaboration* du projet ainsi que la phase de réalisation de l'ouvrage
The problem is that in English 'conception', 'étude' and 'élaboration' are often all three translated as 'design'.
I've come up with:
This assignment concerns the schematic design, design and *prepapartory* phases of the project as well as the execution phase of the works.
