I see from my dictionary that Bauherr = client for whom a job is being done - is Bauherrschaft simply a synonym for Bauherr? I cannot find it in any reference sources.
This is from a tender from a Swiss fireplace manufacturer:
"Wir freuen uns, Ihnen aufgrund Ihrer telefonischen Anfrage vom 20.8.09 und den uns zugestellten Unterlagen zuhanden der Bauherrschaft als Variante, eine Ganstahlfeuerstelle mit Lamellengestaltung offerieren zu dürfen."
