Construction / Civil Engineering
Italian term or phrase: opere architettoniche
"L'azienda è specializzata nella realizzazione di infrastrutture e grandi opere architettoniche"

Dire "building works" tralasciando "architecture/architectural" rende ugualmente l'idea?

Grazie!

architectural works
Explanation:
I would go with "architectural" rather than "building", since your source text seems to indicate an element of aesthetic beauty (see definition below):

Architecture:
"the profession of designing buildings, open areas, communities, and other artificial constructions and environments, usually with some regard to aesthetic effect. Architecture often includes design or selection of furnishings and decorations, supervision of construction work, and the examination, restoration, or remodeling of existing buildings."

Explanation:
Come si evince dai siti riportati in calce, non è una forzatura usare ‘architectural works“ in quanto termine largamente usato anche nella lingua inglese. Mentre ‘building works ‘ non rende giustizia alle intenzioni espressive dell’autore in quanto dal significato troppo generico e fallace.
