ehituslik

Ehituslik is an Estonian adjective meaning construction-related or structural. It is used in technical fields such as architecture, civil engineering, and urban planning to describe aspects connected with building, construction processes, materials, and structural design. The word is formed from the noun ehitus (construction) with the suffix -lik, which marks a characteristic or relation.

In practice, ehituslik is used to modify nouns to indicate that a feature pertains to construction rather than to other domains. Examples include ehituslik projekt (construction project), ehituslik materjal (construction material), ehituslik lahendus (construction solution), and ehituslik konstruktsioon (constructional/structural construction). It can also describe methods or concerns such as ehituslik tehnika (construction technique) or ehituslik hind (construction cost), though the latter is often expressed with more specific terms in professional texts.

In architectural and civil engineering documents, ehituslik underscores the practical, build-ready aspects of a concept, as distinct from purely theoretical or design-oriented discussions. The term is largely synonymous with construction-related or structural in many contexts, though precise usage may vary by field and region. Related terms include konstruktsiooniline (structural), ehitus, and arhitektuuriline (architectural) when distinguishing between build-related and design-related topics.
