Civilized construction methods?

Dear All,

Here's another question related to construction works... Have a look at this translation:

Management of the Expense Spent on Safe and Civilized Construction Measures


The word civilized leaves me with some doubts. Can it be used in such a way? I believe the translation might be inaccurate. A country can be civilized, but can we say that construction measures are civilized? If not, would there be a more suitable word?

Thank,you,

Thanks Clive,

What I was trying to say was/is based on this definition of the word civilized:

civilized

Hi,

In that sense, the word still has a nuance of polite behavior. It sounds peculiar in your very practical context. I strongly advise you to find another word.
eg methodical ?

We don't usually speak of 'expenses spent'.

Thanks Clive, I need to find a word that would express that the undertaken construction works will be carried out in line with all of the employer's requirements and according to the highest quality standards and in compliance with all regulations.

Hi,

That seems like to much to say in just one word.

Do you really need to say all that in what seems to be just a heading or a point-form phrase?

I guess I don't... it's just that I wanted to make it as clear as possible for everybody to get the idea of what kind of word I'm looking for.

Hmm... there must be a word that describes a similar meaning as civilised does... Something that says that the construction methods are advanced and up-to the required standards...
