construction contractor
A person who manages or owns a construction company and carries out construction projects commercially.
Der Bauunternehmer prüfte persönlich den Fortschritt auf der Baustelle.
The construction contractor personally checked the progress at the building site.
This word is made up of 'Bau' (construction, from 'bauen' (to build)) and 'Unternehmer' (someone who runs a company). So it refers to the person who operates a construction business.
Der Bauunternehmer hat den neuen Plan für das Gebäude vorgestellt.
The construction contractor presented the new plan for the building.
The ending '-er' here denotes a male person who performs a certain activity or has a profession. The word is part of the word family around 'bauen' (to build) and 'das Unternehmen' (the company).
Als Bauunternehmer trägt er viel Verantwortung für seine Mitarbeiter.
As a construction contractor, he bears a lot of responsibility for his employees.
A construction contractor is an active person. Typical verbs are therefore: 'einen Bauunternehmer beauftragen' (to hire a construction contractor), 'der Bauunternehmer leitet/plant/koordiniert' (the construction contractor manages/plans/coordinates).
Der Bauunternehmer koordiniert die Arbeiten auf der Baustelle.
The construction contractor coordinates the work at the building site.
building owner
The Bauherr commissions and finances a construction project and bears responsibility for it. The Bauunternehmer, by contrast, manages or owns the company that carries out such construction projects commercially. In the same project, these can therefore be two different parties.
Der Bauunternehmer übernimmt mit seiner Firma den Bau des neuen Wohnhauses.
The construction contractor is taking on the construction of the new home through his company.
Der Bauherr finanziert das neue Wohnhaus und erteilt den Auftrag.
The building owner is financing the new home and placing the order.
