konstruktionsmæssig

Konstruktionsmæssig is a Danish adjective that describes something related to construction, design, or structure. It is formed from the noun konstruktion (construction, arrangement) plus the suffix -mæssig, which denotes pertaining to or in the manner of. The term is used across disciplines such as engineering, architecture, design, and mathematics to specify that attention or criteria concern how something is built, assembled, or organized rather than purely aesthetic or functional aspects.

In mathematics, konstruktionsmæssig is commonly used to indicate a constructive approach. A konstruktionsmæssig bevis (constructive proof) provides an explicit method or construction to obtain the object in question, rather than relying on non-constructive arguments that prove existence without yielding a concrete example. This usage mirrors the broader concept of constructiveness in Danish mathematical terminology, and it helps distinguish proofs or arguments that yield an explicit construction from those that do not.

In engineering and design contexts, konstruktionsmæssig refers to the structural, manufacturable, and buildable aspects of a product or system. A konstruktionsmæssig analyse might assess load paths, stability, material choices, tolerances, and assembly sequences to ensure that a design can be produced and will perform as intended. The term thus signals emphasis on the constructional feasibility and integrity of a solution.

Etymologically, the word combines konstruktion with the suffix -mæssig and is contrasted with related terms such as konstruktiv, which more broadly denotes a constructive approach or method.
