How Lost-in-Translation Shop-Floor Terms Cause Export Disputes

In cross-border Turkish construction sourcing, misunderstandings rarely stem from conversational language—they happen on technical shorthand. When a German buyer requests *Pfetten nach statischem Nachweis*, a French contractor specifies *rupture de pont thermique*, or a Turkish workshop writes *Betopan + Boyalı Sac Mahya Hariç*, literal machine translation frequently misstates load responsibility and scope inclusions.

Our Architect, Civil Engineer and Interior Architect founding team uses this standardized 7-language terminology baseline across all SS-BRIEF (€390), SS-TECH (€340) and SS-COMPARE (€290) deliverables.

Clear Boundaries & Scope Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

In Turkish shop-floor usage, Betopan specifically refers to cement-bonded wood-particle board (EN 634-2), whereas Fibercement refers to autoclaved cellulose-fibre cement board (EN 12467, often A1/A2 fire class). Both are exterior-grade boards, but their fire class, screw edge-distance and jointing behavior differ—always specify the exact EN standard.
