Ansatz

English translation: projection

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Ansatz
English translation:projection

Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
German term or phrase: Ansatz
"Ansatz in Einzellängen für Anbindungen im direkten Anschlußbereich der Gebäudefassaden."

I need help with Ansatz here. I found deposit for Ansatz in the construction sector in Lagnescheidts Fachwörterbuch Technik, but I am doubting that that is right. I read some old kudoZ about a point of connection and things like that and am starting to think of something in that direction, but I am not sure and would like a second opinion from someone more familiar with this context in the construction industry. This is from a Leistungsverzeichnis.

TIA

Thanks Jennifer! Your guess was as good a guess as any! I still have not figured out if this is right for sure, but I compared projection with a few other possibilities on google combined with some of the other words in the sentence to see how often they come up in the context and projection seemed pretty decent.
