construction phase
A specific, time-limited stage during the construction of a building, a road, or another facility. A construction project is typically divided into several such phases.
Das Haus befindet sich noch in der ersten Bauphase, der Rohbau ist noch nicht fertig.
The house is still in the first construction phase; the shell construction is not finished yet.
The word is made up of 'der Bau' (construction) and 'die Phase' (phase/stage). So it literally describes a stage during building, which makes the meaning very transparent.
Wegen des schlechten Wetters verzögert sich die aktuelle Bauphase.
Because of the bad weather, the current construction phase is being delayed.
To describe a state, the preposition 'in' is used with the dative. To express the transition into a new stage, 'in' takes the accusative.
Das Projekt befindet sich in einer kritischen Bauphase.
The project is in a critical construction phase.
Common adjectives are 'erste' (first), 'letzte' (last), 'nächste' (next), or 'entscheidende' (decisive) Bauphase. Typical verbs are 'eine Bauphase beginnen' (to begin a construction phase), 'abschließen' (to complete), or 'einleiten' (to initiate).
Die letzte Bauphase umfasst die Gestaltung der Außenanlagen.
The last construction phase includes designing the outdoor areas.
construction period
Bauzeit refers to the entire period needed to construct a structure. A Bauphase, by contrast, is only a specific stage of this process. Use Bauzeit for the duration of the entire project and Bauphase for a limited part of it.
Die aktuelle Bauphase der Brücke dauert drei Monate und umfasst den Bau der Pfeiler.
The bridge's current construction phase lasts three months and includes building the piers.
Die gesamte Bauzeit der Brücke beträgt zwei Jahre.
The bridge's entire construction period is two years.
