Danish term (edited): bygherre

building owner

'owner' and 'building developer' are also commonly used.

Hope this helps :-)
Example sentence:

The Party Wall Etc Act 1998 requires that a named surveyor should act as building owner surveyor or adjoining owner survey when building works are carried out....

Peer comment(s):
agree Tine Wanning : A 'bygherre' is the owner and the one who ultimatively pays for the building, whoever does the practical work/management is not relevant

agree asptech : "byggherren" is the owner of the finished project; "bestilleren" is the one who procures the construction and other work on the project (either the owner himself or someone acting on his behalf).
