baulich

Baulich is an adjective in the German language that denotes anything relating to building or construction. Etymologically, it comes from the verb bauen (to build) with the suffix -lich, forming terms that describe the built environment rather than natural phenomena.

In architecture and civil engineering, baulich is used to distinguish constructed elements from natural ones. Common phrases include bauliche Anlage (a built facility), bauliche Substanz (built fabric or structure), and bauliche Gestaltung (architectural design). In urban planning and real estate, baulich may appear in terms such as bauliche Nutzung (built-use) or bauliche Maßnahme (construction measure), where it marks actions or components tied to the built environment.

Baulich is often contrasted with planning- or technically oriented terms. It frequently appears in planning law, building codes, and construction documentation to indicate that an item or measure concerns the built, man-made environment rather than non-built aspects.
