Spanish term

disposiciones facultativas

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Construction of train depot
This is a description of what the building design project (proyecto) should include. It is part of a list of sections to be included in the Specifications documentation:
III. Pliego de condiciones

Pliego de cláusulas administrativas
Disposiciones generales
Disposiciones facultativas
Disposiciones económicas
Pliego de condiciones técnicas particulares

I reckon Disposiciones is Provisions. My trouble is that facultativo/a in construction is usually related to technical supervision or specifications (see dirección facultativa, for example, which is usually given as site management, works supervision, etc)

However, facultativa also means optional, sometimes

All input gratefully received

See explanation

I think you would be right to go with the site management meaning rather than optional. The linked pdf is a pliego and the disposiciones facultativas section refers to the parties involved in the process.
Best to check what is actually happening in that section of your document to be sure though.

In that case perhaps best to consult with your client.

Note from asker:
Thank you very much for your fast answer, In this case, I felt that optional was a bit risky. In the end, it could be either, depending on context.
