These professionals primarily transfer measurements from application and detailed drawings to the structure, then create protective and separating layers, apply thermal insulation, install anchoring, connection, and fastening elements, and assemble substructures. In addition to carefully securing facade elements made from various materials such as natural stone, metal, or glass onto the substructure, they may also install additional components like solar collectors, photovoltaic elements, or lightning protection systems. They play an active role not only in new construction projects but also in the renovation (Sanierung) and repair (Instandsetzung) of existing buildings.
