Fall construction


Explanation:
This is about some kind of screeding material - you add different quantities of water depending on whether you're going to lay it manually, pump it or create a fall (in other words the gradient you need to make the floor drain correctly in a wet room).

(See references for explanations in English and Swedish.)

Hello, Ian. In this case, I think falla means sloping.

So you could sloping construction, sloping structure, etc. - whatever best suits your text.

  -> Michael, thank you very much, as well as for your suggestion. I will however only enter one option as an answer and stick to construction, since it is the least specific term.
