French term

maîtrise d'ouvrage d'exécution

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Property development
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.

Fair play, I went in a bit over-technical. If you're marketing, I suppose you want to simplify a bit. Good choice.
Conor McAuley Mar 23, 2021:
To Katie Surely project management naturally includes contract management? If the developer is managing the project, it is surely "overseeing" or monitoring proper performance (in the legal sense) of contracts too?
Daryo Mar 23, 2021:
Have seen questions aplenty about "maîtrise d'ouvrage" but "maîtrise d'ouvrage d'exécution" is a first.
katiej (asker) Mar 23, 2021:
Thanks everyone for your input, I think from having done a bit more research that there's an aspect of project management but also of contract management.

"Par conséquent, les juges estiment qu’au-delà de la coordination et du contrôle des travaux, M. B. a rempli une mission de maîtrise d'œuvre de conception, consistant à apporter assistance et conseil au moment de la conception de l'ouvrage, et à vérifier l'avancement des travaux jusqu'à la réception de l'ouvrage."

Emmanuella Mar 22, 2021:
'Je note que vous utilisez le terme 'maitrise d'oeuvre' et non 'maîtrise d'ouvrage'. Qu'en est-il ? Merci
Keith Jackson Mar 22, 2021:
I would think that he is making a distinction, within project management, between those who guide and support project management (e.g., mission de maîtrise d'œuvre de conception) and those who do the actual dirty work (e.g., mission de maîtrise d'œuvre d'exécution) so it's along the lines of project execution, project implementation, project rollout, or project deployment.
Conor McAuley Mar 22, 2021:
maîtrise d'ouvrage = project management https://property-management.bnpparibas.fr/services/projets-i...

I hope that's that one sorted, once and for all.

Tu as tout à fait raison. Je serai sûr de te demander, la prochaine fois que j'ai besoin de savoir ce que je pense.

Met une réponse plutôt.
Emmanuella Mar 22, 2021:
Un agree au hasard, ça promet... OK, je passe..
Conor McAuley Mar 22, 2021:
Le contexte n'est pas primordial. Il y a plusieurs autres exemples, voir la réponse de Yolanda Broad, par exemple, également.

Le fait que j'ai mis un Agree est le fait du hasard, je te le jure ! J'ai pas mal participé à KudoZ depuis quelques 18 ans.
Emmanuella Mar 22, 2021:
Il s'agit d'un context différent (Relations Publiques ) . Je note que tu as accordé un 'agree', mais please, lis le commentaire de Chris Hall.
Conor McAuley Mar 22, 2021:
Cherche sans le mot "exécution".

On trouve bien la Maitrise d'Oeuvre d'Exécution, mais pas la Maitrise d' Ouvrage d'Execution.
Conor McAuley Mar 22, 2021:

There are five phases in project management (but different names are used for the phases by different people):

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.
katiej (asker) Mar 22, 2021:
Just to add, as I understand it, this area involves managing the relationship with the client during the project execution stage.

project management of the construction phase

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.

Note from asker:
Thank you, I think this comes closest.
Peer comment(s):

agree Conor McAuley : Like it, idiomatic, possibly, my answer is technical, yours possibly a bit unwieldly to work it into a sentence? Depends if the wider context requires a snappy, explanatory, or technical solution.

thanks Conor
agree Cyril Tollari : Can't comment on the choice of words, but basically a department in the developer's company dealing with the construction phase. So no decisions taken regarding the construction in itself, but representing the project owner during this phase

worksite liaison with client at the implementation stage

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

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

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):

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

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

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:

'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.'
