Os materiais que são utilizados são bem simples: ripas de madeira, estacas, pregos e martelo. Isso serve para se colocar no terreno as posições corretas das fundações, das vigas baldrame (são as vigas do chão) e se poder a partir daí levantar as paredes, e

zoning


Explanation:
(US English) I think the slightly vague, catch-all term I would use is zoning.

"As normas de gabarito definem todas as regras para a edificação de um terreno. Essas normas determinam a altura máxima, o coeficiente de ocupação do terreno e a destinação da área, ou seja, se os imóveis a serem construídos devem ser para uso residencial, comercial, institucional ou se são destinados para atividades do poder público."

Building foundation layout


Explanation:
I found the same reference for the explanation in Portuguese as Marlene Curtis. There is even a drawing that shows clearly how to do the layout.
Here is an explanation of the foundation layout in English.

After further reading, I realize that the context emphasized the building codes and the protection of the urban environment. The word Layout is correct applied to the practical aspect of the design, specifications from the architect and the construction of the foundation on the site. Jean-Louis.

Example sentence(s):
  • The details of layout and planning are essential to proper construction of a building. Layout prepares the site

model


Explanation:
It would be handy to know what was contained in the cited "NGB", but I guess it will be a model or format of some kind?
