English term
entity which contracts for a construction project
English
Bus/Financial
Construction / Civil Engineering
The entity which contracts (and pays) for a construction project.
This might be called a "Developer," however if it is a municipality or another governmental entity, buidling for instance a hospital, that might not be an appropriate term.
I am searching for a one-word all encompassing term for "Uppdragsgivare" in Swedish.

"Principal" - if you mean the "customer"
Sounds like the Italian "committente", and is the "Principal". They outsource the work to a contractor.

: I use Principal in this sense, usually translating French "Maître d'Ouvrage" (as opposed to "Maître d'Oeuvre", who is the head contractor).
