A method of assembling a structure in aircraft or spacecraft production is proposed. At least two components (101, 103) to be joined to each other at a joint (116) are provided, each of the components comprising a joining region (131, 133). Sealant (119) is applied to at least one of the components in the joining region thereof; an arrangement (100) is formed by positioning the components relative to each other, whereby an uncured layer (121) of the sealant is formed between associated joining regions. The associated joining regions are clamped against each other using at least one clamping device (155a-155g), and a clamped state is maintained at least until the layer (121) of sealant has cured to a pre-defined degree, the clamping device being installable on and transportable along with the arrangement. After the layer (122) of sealant has cured at least to the pre-defined degree, drilling at at least a plurality (205; 205, 206) of fastening positions (105; 105, 106) is performed in order to obtain a hole (135; 135, 136) of final dimension at each of the plurality of fastening positions, and installation of a final fastener (145; 145, 146) at each of the fastening positions is performed. The invention in particular may contribute to an efficient production process suitable for automation.
