German term

Objekterkundung

German to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
I'm really not sure what they're getting at here. This term appears in a website for a coatings company. They also use Objektauswahl, followed by a list of areas in which their expertise is used, which I've taken to mean range of target sectors/areas.

Mit unserer Kompetenz für Sanierung, Entsorgung und Umweltschutz bieten wir ein unfassendes Service:

Objekterkundung und Schadstoffanalyse

Project survey?

Objekt seems an odd word to use. This is an Austrian company, by the way.

Any suggestions very welcome.

Many thanks

Claire Cox (asker) Feb 5, 2008:
Under Objekauswahl they certainly do include structures such as schools, hospitals, power plants, etc, but also more generic sectors such as Chemische Industrie, Pharmaindustrie, Papierindustrie, Stahl/Metallbau, etc.
Stephen Gobin Feb 5, 2008:
"Objekt", in this case, I believe, is referring to any kind of structure, which this company will renovate, etc. Does that fit in with the overall document you're working on?

property survey?

Looking at the "Sanierung, Entsorgung..." etc., it looks as if this might be what they are getting at...

The company whose web-site you are working on does do coatings etc. for all manner of "objects", including motorway tunnels, roads markings, etc., and I think possibly "work(ing) surveys" might be best fitted for your needs.
