Discussion

Veronika McLaren (asker) Jan 25, 2018:
Kalkulations- schema (einfach), Kalkulationsaufbau
Veronika McLaren (asker) Jan 25, 2018:
Other puzzling components of the list, probably current in Switzerland, include "Regierapporte", Offertpreise, Regieunterlagen, Regieberechnungen etc.
Veronika McLaren (asker) Jan 25, 2018:
The list contains the components of a module related to Construction Design, but is shown under "Kalkulation" - Cost Accounting.
I was also wondering whether the "zeitlich" is "neu-" as in current, up to date, modern or has to do with time as in timely, temporal or chronological.
Wendy Robinson Jan 25, 2018:
Date and Time? This could be related to calculations of date and time, e.g. in Excel
Eric Zink Jan 25, 2018:
Any context? Can you post a sentences or passage in which this term occurs?

time-based (contract) costing methods

... as opposed to unit-/item-based costing. Could this be it? At any rate, I believe that 'Kalkulation' is equivalent to '(contract) costing' in a construction context. Does your list include any other 'Kalkulationsverfahren'?

I don't think that 'zeitlich' is related to 'modern' but am not really familiar with Swiss usage of this term.

Offertpreise (Swiss) = Angebotspreise (usage in Germany) = quotation/bid prices

Kalkulationsaufbau = components/structure of costing
Peer comment(s):
agree philgoddard : I would leave out "contract".

You may well be right although 'contract costing' is an established concept/term in the construction business.

modern calculation methods

Could there be a "Neu-" missing at the beginning? i.e. neuzeitliche Kalkulationsverfahren?

interim calculation methods

The first suggestion "modern ..." could be right.
It's really guessing, since there is no available context.
My suggestion is another possibility.
