Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Building site contract
German term or phrase: Folgegewerke
This term occurs in a building site quality assurance agreement.
Is there any 'official' term for Folgegewerke?


Der Auftragnehmer ist für die fachgerechte Aufstellung, Einmessung, Sicherung und Freigabe der Ausrüstung für *Folgegewerke* in einem gefahrlosen Zustand verantwortlich.

Other context:

Freigabe für Folgegewerke

Any help appreciated.

subsequent work
Explanation:
Admittedly, 'Gewerk' does not normally translate as 'work', but seems best here. The Auftragnehmer is responsible for doing whatever he does, but also for ensuring that the building site is safe for the next stages of construction. The Folgegewerke are the people/trades involved in the next stage(s).

I ended up using 'subsequent trades' which Cilian was the first to suggest. Thanks to all!

agree  Cilian O'Tuama: Hey, where did you come from? :-) I think I'd prefer the singular, though. // 'additional' ignores the time element. // I'd disagree on that, and 'always' is a dangerous word.

  -> A matter of taste, Cilian. By the way "additional work" would also do. And "additional" is always something "added to the present (value / status / condition etc.)

Explanation:
Mit "Gewerk" werden in Deutschland die fachspezifischen Arbeiten an einem Bauwerk, z.B. Tiefbau, Gründen, Hochbau, Zimmermannsarbeiten, Dachdecken, Sanitärinstallation, Elektroinstallation, Malerarbeiten, usw. bezeichnet.

Als Gewerk bezeichnet man handwerkliche und bautechnische Arbeiten im Bauwesen.
Im Bauwesen umfasst ein Gewerk im Allgemeinen die Arbeiten, die einem in sich geschlossenen Bauleistungsbereich zuzuordnen sind. Im Baubereich bilden handwerkliche (HWK) und industriell (IHK) geprägte Berufsbilder in der Regel die berufsprägenden Tätigkeiten der Gewerke ab. Die Vergabe- und Vertragsordnung für Bauleistungen (VOB) nimmt im Teil C ebenfalls eine Unterteilung der Gewerke vor und beschreibt die jeweiligen allgemeinen technischen Vertragsbedingungen für Bauleistungen

Both terms are used, even in the same article, e.g.:

This is because each subcontractor is only concern with their respective scope of works and tends to ignore the effects on the subsequent works of other contractors. If the first trade was not properly completed, the workmanship quality of the subsequent trade will be affected.

neutral  Alexander Schleber (X): I disagree with "subsequent trades"!! "Trades are either "professions" or "exchanges" and sometimesa "handicrafts". But the context does not permit such an interpretation in IMO.
