construction phase
A defined part of a larger construction project that is limited in terms of time or space.
Der erste Bauabschnitt der neuen Umgehungsstraße soll nächstes Jahr fertiggestellt werden.
The first construction phase of the new bypass road is scheduled to be completed next year.
The word is made up of 'Bau' (construction, from bauen, to build) and 'Abschnitt' (part, section). So it literally describes a 'part of a construction project.' The 's' in the middle is a linking element that connects the two words.
Der Lärm kommt vom neuen Bauabschnitt der Autobahn.
The noise is coming from the new construction phase of the highway.
'Bauabschnitt' (construction phase) is very often used with ordinal numbers (first, second, third...) to name and structure the different phases of a large project.
Der dritte Bauabschnitt umfasst die Errichtung des Hauptgebäudes.
The third construction phase includes the construction of the main building.
In connection with 'Bauabschnitt' (construction phase), verbs are often used that describe the progress of a project, such as 'beginnen' (to begin), 'fertigstellen' (to complete), 'freigeben' (to open/release), or 'planen' (to plan).
Die Stadt plant, den nächsten Bauabschnitt im kommenden Frühjahr zu beginnen.
The city plans to begin the next construction phase next spring.
section
'der Abschnitt' and 'der Bauabschnitt' can both mean a limited part within a larger whole. 'Abschnitt' is general and can refer to part of a route, a text, or a period of time. 'Bauabschnitt' is much more specific: it is used only for construction projects and means a spatially or temporally planned part of the construction work. The words can be confused when talking about a project. If it is really about building or construction, 'Bauabschnitt' is more precise; otherwise, 'Abschnitt' is usually correct.
