Muurauksessa

Muurauksessa is a Finnish term used in construction and architectural documentation to describe a state where elements are constructed using masonry methods. The word is formed from muuraus, meaning masonry, and the suffix -ssa, denoting the inessive or “in”/“during” position. Therefore, muurauksessa translates roughly as “in masonry” or “under masonry work.”

In practice, the term appears in project plans, progress reports, and quality-control checklists to indicate that a component is currently being built with brick, block, or stonework, as opposed to being plastered, concrete, or timber-framed. When a wall or feature is listed as muurauksessa, it implies that the masonry work is not yet completed and that subsequent phases such as plastering, insulation, or finishing will follow. The term can apply to repairs or additions where new masonry work is performed. In Finnish construction documentation, it helps professionals quickly understand the current stage without detailing each trade.

Material scope for muurauksessa is not restricted to a single substance; masonry typically involves brick, stone, or concrete block units, but the exact material is defined elsewhere in the project documents. Etymologically, the word comes from muuraus (masonry) plus the locative suffix -ssa.

See also muuraus, rakennus. Note: The term is primarily technical and used by Finnish-speaking professionals; outside of Finnish contexts, direct equivalents are “in masonry” or “masonry work in progress.”
