German term or phrase: Schnittstellen
Hi,

This is real estate-related. Unfortunately, the text, a Management Summary, begins with this so that this has me somewhat stumped.

Draft EN translation:

As far as ***transition points for a lease*** are concerned, from our perspective it is necessary to make specifications, which we have outlined in the Management Summary, broken down by trade.

DECH context:
Zusammenhang
Management Summary

Das Bauprojekt bzw. die Planunterlagen entsprechen im Grundsatz dem Planungsstand Bauprojekt (XX% Teilleistungen gemäss SIA YYY von einem gesamten Projekt).

Die Schweizer Normen und Richtlinien sind grösstenteils eingehalten.

Bezüglich ***Schnittstellen für einen Mietvertrag*** sind aus unserer Sicht Präzisierungen notwendig, welche wir pro Gewerk im Management Summary zusammengefasst haben.

Additional context:

...

Demontagen

Hauptaussagen

Sämtliche Demontagearbeiten von den best.[probably: bestehenden] Gebäudetechnik-Installationen sollten im Grundausbau eingerechnet werden, damit wegen den ***Schnittstellen*** keine Unklarheiten herrschen.

Current thought process:
Would these ***connecting points*** between trades https://www.febs.de/planen-umsetzen­/qualitaet-am-bau/schnittstellen-zw­ischen-gewerken still be covered by my original starting point ***points of contact***? Probably not. So ... Any votes for ***transition points***? Trade XXX? YYYY interlocks? However, where does the lease come into the picture here?

Cheers,
Sebastian Witte

Notes to answerer
Asker: I think intersection points gets the ball rolling very well. Not sure about adding words to flesh the concept out better as this term is clearly (almost sure at this point, see link posted) technical in nature and something almost physical that you can photograph like a fence at a property boundary so that your additions add (rather inadmissible) elements of interpretation. 4 points from me though.
