French term

toute sujestion comprise

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
This phrase appears several times on an estimate for the construction of a new community building:

"Les unités d'œuvre des travaux sur le G.O s'entendent **toute sujestion comprise** (M,O Fourniture en matériél,matériaux, etc.)"

'Sujestion' seems to me to be a spelling mistake.
My initial thought was that it should mean something like 'includes all 'extras'', but this doesn't sound good enough to me.

Can anyone suggest anything better, or even the standard translation, if there is one?

Sure ...that's why I quoted the TLFI. What I meant was that "sujEStion" is a misspelling, and I offered the right word and its reference. Sorry I was unclear...
writeaway Nov 23, 2009:
sujétion is correct. It is not a misspelling. check the Fr-En dictionaries.
Emmanuelle Debon Nov 23, 2009:
sujétion TLFI :
"Contrainte liée aux choses elles-mêmes. Le béton translucide donne les plus larges possibilités d'éclairage horizontal ou vertical sans les sujétions d'étanchéité et d'entretien de la paroi ou du comble en fer et verre (Civilis. écr., 1939, p. 50-11). Les chantiers qui échappent aux sujétions du lancement, sont ceux qui peuvent construire le navire dans des formes à écluses: au lieu de lancer le navire, il suffit quand il est achevé, de laisser pénétrer la mer dans la cale de construction en ouvrant les écluses (PERPILLOU, Industr. constr. nav., 1967)"

Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth (X) : Often "all difficulties" but here "all related considerations" might suit, given the items in the parenthetic list, none of which are exactly sujétions.

I reckon this (assuming "sujetion rather than "sujestion") often means "everything needed to complete the job"
Or "ancillaries"
