Slovak term or phrase: autorský dozor
Potrebujem správne do angličtiny preložiť termín "autorský dozor" v kontexte stavebného inžinierstva. Viete mi s tým pomôcť?
Zuzana Dúdorová
English translation:designer's supervision
Explanation:
The expression is found everywhere, although IMHO it is not found frequently enough in the UK sources to justify "I am sure" rating.

Presuming that "autorský dozor" is supervision by the author/designer of the structure aimed at making sure that the design is followed, the term is sufficiently correct. I am looking forward to see if there is a better one.

disagree  Martin Mraz: Given that these references are from Russian and Polish sources, I would view them with a health dose of skepticism.
