French term
l’entreprise générale
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
urbanism
This is a term used extensively in a book about French civil and urban engineering aimed at all the stakeholders in town planning. Here is an example:
Dans l’histoire du génie urbain : l’entreprise générale et la concession, deux modèles nés en France
I know it is generally translated as "general contractor/contracting" however in this work the author is specific about the particularity in France that l’entreprise générale combines the design and construction roles unlike the Anglo-Saxon model which separates them. Can anyone offer a term that would make it clear to English speakers that the French model combines these roles?

L'entreprise générale ne possède pas en France de définition juridique. Une entreprise générale n'est définie ni par les règlements ni par les lois.
