Construction Glossary

Key terms from Austrian construction industry, ÖNORM standards, and AI-powered building analysis.

Building Defect

A building defect is any deviation from the contractually agreed quality, applicable standards (such as ÖNORM B 2110), or reasonable expectations for construction work. This includes structural issues, moisture damage, surface defects, and installation problems. Faultrix AI detects and classifies these defects automatically.

Construction AcceptanceÖNORM B 2110Warranty

Construction Acceptance

Construction acceptance (Bauabnahme) is the formal handover process where a completed construction project is inspected and accepted by the client. In Austria, this is a legally significant act that marks the beginning of the warranty period. Faultrix provides ÖNORM-compliant documentation for this process.

ÖNORM B 2110

ÖNORM B 2110 is the fundamental Austrian standard for general conditions of construction contracts. It governs the legal framework between client and contractor in construction projects and defines standards for quality, acceptance, and warranty. Faultrix references this standard in all analysis reports.

SHA-256

SHA-256 is a cryptographic hash function that creates a unique "fingerprint" for digital files. Faultrix uses SHA-256 to ensure the integrity of uploaded photos and prove that images have not been altered since upload. This is essential for evidence-ready documentation.

EXIFEvidence ChainEvidence-ready

EXIF Metadata

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata automatically embedded in digital photos. It contains information such as capture timestamp, GPS coordinates, camera model, and image resolution. Faultrix extracts relevant EXIF data (where available) as part of evidence-ready documentation.
