Japanese term

建家 (tateya?)

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering
In a set of specifications for installation of factory equipment, sometimes a 建家 (tateya?) is required. The only thing I can imagine it might be is an on-site office.

tateya- is really any ready-made building

As you can suppose, tateya- is "house" that "stands", i.e. already built.

"tateya" isn't listed in any of my J-E dictionaries, but Kojien has two definitions: "tatete aru ie" (a built house) and "kenbutsu" (building). So it seems to me that "building" would do fine.

Did I say "kenbutsu"?? I meant "tatemono" of course.

I must be drinking too much coffee...
