They select appropriate adhesives, perform fixing work using staplers, nails, and screws, and conduct marking for level and straight lines, requiring finishing techniques that balance aesthetics and durability. They collaborate with other interior finishers and equipment workers, while paying attention to safety, cleaning, and protective measures during construction.
