rakennetasoon

Rakennetasoon is a Finnish term used in architecture, construction management and procurement to describe the level of construction to which a building component, system, or the project as a whole has been completed. The concept functions as a coordination and documentation tool within project planning, scheduling, inspections and payments, allowing stakeholders to align work with defined milestones and quality criteria.

Etymology: The word combines rakennus (building) and taso (level) to denote a construction-related level. In practice it is used as a label in drawings, work orders and progress reports.

Usage and scope: A project may assign one or more components a specific rakennetasoon, indicating what has to be ready by a given date or before subsequent work can proceed. It is commonly used in contract documents to define acceptance criteria, delivery milestones, and payment triggers. The exact definition of each rakennetasoon can vary between projects, contractors and regions.

Typical stages: While not universal, common stage labels include foundational work (perustus), structural framework (runkorakenne), exterior work and cladding (julkisivut), waterproofing and utilities (vesieristys ja asennukset), and interior finishes (sisätyöt). The stages are used to organize drawings, inspections and procurement lists.

Regional and standard variations: The specific classification of stages and the nomenclature around rakennetasoon is not standardized nationwide; it may be tailored in contracts or project management frameworks.
