Explanation:
Bauseits usually means provided by the customer, i.e. the person hiring the contractors. In this case, I would say the the customer is providing the concrete.

agree  David Hollywood: could be either but I suspect it's by the contractor :) and greetings Swiss :) long time :)
5 mins
  -> thanks, David. Have a great week!
agree  KARIN ISBELL
35 mins
  -> thank you, Karin.
disagree  Richard Stephen: 'bauseits' means that the customer, or client must provide whatever, an answer like this could put you as translator in a liability situation, where you have to pay for it.
6 hrs
disagree  Alpha-HD: Richard is right - "bauseits" NEVER means "by the contractor"
7 hrs
disagree  Steffen Walter: No, that's a very clear reference to the customer/client and no-one else. See previous KudoZ: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/237363 + http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1069499

disagree  Victor Dewsbery: May possibly be provided by ANOTHER contractor, but definitely not by the contractor whose work is being detailed here. For the purpose of Cecelia's document, "bauseits" is an exclusion term.

agree  David Hollywood: I agree Kim and "contractor/customer" is a fine line and either would work IMO :)
13 mins
  -> There's a big difference whether the materials are provided by the contractor or the customer. IMO, Bauseits means provided at the construction site by the customer.
agree  Andrew D: bauseits = supplied by the customer / made or built by the customer i.e the contractor does not have to do it
37 mins
agree  Inge Meinzer
2 hrs
agree  Richard Stephen: I don't see any 'fine line' at all, I think some colleagues are going to get themselves into a very bad liability situation if they can't distinguish between contractor and client.
5 hrs
agree  Bernd Runge: In the sense of: geliefert: bauseitig geliefert (VR) provided by the owner
6 hrs
agree  Steffen Walter: Yes, by the owner, client, customer, but never by the contractor.
