Court case to do with problematic redevelopment project.
Here it's saying a certain technical inspection office should not be held liable for certain defects.
"La mission dit contrôleur technique ne porte pas :
- dans le cas des opérations de rénovation ou de réhabilitation :
sur les ouvrages et éléments d'équipements existant avant la réalisation des travaux et non modifiés par ceux-ci, ni sur les parties de la construction non comprises dans le volume des travaux",
Or, la difficulté provient de la terrasse extérieure accessible existante qui n'a pas été reprise et étanchée à l'occasion des travaux de réhabilitation."
Appears to be the area (volume) where renovation/rehabilitation was taking place. Any known equivalent term in English?

: yes and no - I think the main point is in "the physical volume" of the building / the parts of the building where work is to be done.

French term (edited):
les parties de la construction non comprises dans le volume des travaux
parts of the building not included in the contracted work
There are several quite different "nuances" for what "le volume des travaux" could mean.
Here "le volume des travaux" interpreted as the "quantitative estimate of the work to be done" make no sense whatsoever - whatever any glossary or Google Translate or any other online "XYZ Translate" has to say.
Neither "le volume des travaux" interpreted as the "list of types of work to be done" makes any more sense.
In a way you could see this whole clause as a kind of Lapalissade: you can't expect anyone to be responsible for something that is outside of "the contracted work": if someone was contracted to paint the walls in room A, whoever is tasked with inspecting the finished work has no business moaning about the cracks in the walls of room B.
