réfection des travaux

français vers anglais Affaires / Finance Entreprise / commerce
Could you help with the translating of the word "réfection" in this context? I wonder whether "the repair" of the respective works is OK

2. La valeur des revendications appuyées sur l’article xxx du Code civil est limitée au moindre des suivants: (1) les frais supportés par la partie appauvrie ou (2) la valeur du bénéfice obtenu par la partie enrichie. Néanmoins, contrairement à la constatation de la Décision arbitrale, nous sommes d’avis qu’on peut argumenter que la valeur du bénéfice ne doit pas être établie par une simple comparaison de la valeur de l’école avant et après la modernisation. A notre avis, il serait mieux d’établir la valeur du bénéfice comme la valeur de réfection des travaux respectifs, c’est-à-dire, les frais à supporter par la Municipalité dans le but d’exécuter les mêmes travaux

alterations to the (respective) work

..I think "réfection" can mean "alteration" as well as "repairs." In this context, "the value of alterations to work" seems more appropriate to me.

repeating the work

They are saying that the added value cannot be established by comparing the value of the school before and after the modernisation work, but that a better way to establish it would be to use the cost of the Municipality carrying out the same work itself.

cost of repeating/redoing the work

I think it means that the value should be set at what it would have cost the municipality to carry out the same work. In any case it seems like a potential or hypothetical amount, ie were the work to be carried out by the municipality.

remediation of the work

IMO

More recently, in 2008, the Building Regulations were amended following a public consultation, as local authorities had maintained that the 6 month period did not allow prosecutions to be brought where a breach of the regulations only came to light after completion of the building work or where remediation of the work had been promised but not carried out.

The CSLB expert report issued prior to binding arbitration found after inspection of the residence that contractor should be required to pay approximately $30,000 for the cost of completion and remediation of the work.

remediation – noun – the correction of something bad or defective.
