Architecture
This phrase keeps popping up in a translation about an architectural and engineering consulting firm. I understand that "puntual" can mean "specific" or "precise" but wondered if there is a set phrase in architectural terms.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I believe this is how it would be expressed, given the context and meaning, although it is by no means only used in architecture.

: "puntual" means specific, precise. I would say specific modifications instead of alterations
