Portuguese term or phrase: Baldarames
This is a sub item from a Material & Spec List for the construction of an Admin Office.
It may look like that it should be translated to 'Foundation' but as you can see the main title for this section is already 'FUNDAÇOES', which I assume is 'Foundations', so I wonder if 'Baldrame' means something like foundation support or beam???
