(building) works Explanation: It's what trades (professions, occupations) do. Oficis: professions, occupations, ae, but also treballs, feinas (works) That's what needs plans and estimates.

function/ role Explanation: The Gran Diccionari de la Llengua Catalana has ‘function/role’ as its first meaning (see below). So could it perhaps be 'the different buildings/structures and their different functions'. ofici [s. XII; del ll. officium 'servei, funció', reducció de opificium, der. de opifex, -icis 'operari, autor', comp. de opus 'obra' i facere 'fer'] m 1 1 Funció a acomplir. Ella complí bé el seu ofici de mare. |
