part of a price quotation
This is in a table listing costs as part of a quotation for construction work. Very little context. The table lists products, then says at the bottom 'total'
and under that 'subtotaal knip'. Then later a table is headed 'materiaal knip: ERP 25 kV 2x30 MVA'. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!!!

possible (Van Dale gives 'animal trap' as one meaning).
'ERP 25 kV 2x 30 MVA' are the specs of a high-voltage power transformer (or power transformer), which would have to be installed in some sort of strucure with controlled physical access to deal with the electrocution hazard.

Not at all confident but might be of help.

Just tried using the link to hbobouwkunde and it failed. Google knip and sash to get it. ERP 25 kV 2x30 MVA are obviously electrical references which makes me wonder if it some other abbreviation.

Volgens de dikke vandalen kan het een bordeel zijn of een kroeg (verwant aan het Duitse Kneipe). Ik heb het woord knip ook wel gewoon gebruikt gezien voor een oud huis. Misschien een huis met een L-vorm of met een doorgezakte nok, dat zou kunnen.
Kun je wat meer vertellen wat voor producten er op die lijst staan?
