contract supervision

I think "entreprenadbesiktning" means 'supervision of contracts' or 'contract supervision', whichever you prefer.

Here's the Swedish definition :
http://www.linanderkonsult.se/entrbesiktn.htm

"Branschen är reglerad vad gäller bygguppdrag. Alla avtal och regler är svåra för de som ej är insatta i branschen. Att anlita teknisk och juridisk kunnig besiktningsman är en förutsättning för att vara säker på att man fått den produkt man beställt. Besiktningsmannen kontrollerar även att arbetet är fackmannamässigt utfört enligt kontrakt och Allmänna Bestämmelser (AB 92) inom branschen."

And here's what "contract supervision" entails in English :
http://www.jobs.ed.ac.uk/vacancies/index.cfm?fuseaction=vaca...

Contract supervision and financial control of projects over the construction phase through site inspections and progress meetings with design teams and contractors. Monitor quality and compliance with specifications throughout the construction phase.

disagree asptech : The supervision of a contract is a job for the site engineer (byggkontrollant). The "besiktning" takes place when the contract work (or some major part of it) is finished and ready for delivery to the client.

(final inspection of) contract work

There are 2 kinds of such inspections: "slutbesiktning", when the contractor is ready to deliver the finished work to the client, and "garantibesiktning", which normally takes place 2 years after the "slutbesiktning" in order to pinpoint faults that have to be corrected under the warranty clauses.
