Building and civil engineering - Vocabulary - Part 1: General terms
ISO 6707-1:2004 defines general terms to establish a vocabulary applicable to building and civil engineering. It comprises fundamental concepts, which may be the starting point for other, more specific, definitions, as well as more specific concepts used in several areas of construction and frequently used in standards, regulations and contracts.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6707-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 59, Building construction, Subcommittee SC 2,
Terminology and harmonization of languages.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6707-1:1989), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 6707 consists of the following parts, under the general title Building and civil engineering — Vocabulary:
— Part 1: General terms
— Part 2: Contract terms

Introduction
With the growth in the number of international construction projects and the development of the international
market in construction products, there is an increasing need for agreement on a common language in the
domain.
This part of ISO 6707 is a first step towards a complete set of general terms for use by the construction
industry. It will be updated as further terms and definitions are agreed upon.
ISO 6707 includes terms and concepts that are commonly used in documentation governing construction work
as well as terms used to specify products and works. It is important to note that when used in legislation some
general construction terms have a narrower interpretation and hence the definition given in this International
Standard will not apply.
The adoption of this International Standard by the various national construction industries will improve
communication in the design, execution and maintenance of construction works within those industries. Its use
in other standards will aid harmonization and provide a basis for specialist terminology.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6707-1:2004(E)
Building and civil engineering — Vocabulary —
Part 1:
General terms
1 Scope
This part of ISO 6707 defines general terms to establish a vocabulary applicable to building and civil
engineering.
It comprises
a) fundamental concepts, which may be the starting point for other, more specific, definitions, and
b) more specific concepts, used in several areas of construction and frequently used in standards,
regulations and contracts.
2 Vocabulary structure
The terms are arranged within categories to allow ready comparison of related concepts and are
alphabetically indexed.
Where a given preferred term designates more than one concept, each concept has been treated in a
separate entry and, when used in different subject areas, cross-referenced with the other(s). Where a given
term designates more than one concept within the same subject area, the concepts are listed in separate
consecutive entries and the terms individually numbered.
Where a preferred US or other equivalent exists, this has been given in bold face following the preferred term
and annotated by the respective country code. Where no US or other equivalent is given in bold, this signifies
that the preferred term is the accepted term in the English-speaking countries. A term following the preferred
term not given in boldface type is a non-preferred synonym.
In most countries, synonyms and alternative spellings exist for the preferred terms used in this part of
ISO 6707, and a list of synonyms and alternative spellings is given in Annex A. To facilitate a ready
comparison with US synonyms and alternative spellings, these are given in Annex B. To facilitate the locating
of any term given in the Vocabulary, irrespective of preference or country of origin, the alphabetical index lists
all preferred and non-preferred synonyms, without the respective country code being indicated.
Where there is no corresponding term in English to represent a concept for which a term exists in the French
language, a translation of the definition is given, and the lack of a corresponding term is indicated by five dots
(. . . . .).
3 Types of building and civil engineering works

construction works
construction US
everything that is constructed or results from construction operations

(3.3.1), railway (3.3.3), runway, utilities, pipeline (3.2.32), or sewerage system (5.4.40), or the result of
operations such as dredging, earthwork (7.1.6), geotechnical processes, but excluding a building (3.1.3) and
its associated site (3.1.6) works
NOTE Associated siteworks are included in US civil engineering projects.
3.1.3

purposes; usually partially or totally enclosed and designed to stand permanently in one place
cf. building (7.1.4)
