A method of assembling a structure in aircraft or spacecraft production wherein two components to be joined together at a joint are provided, each component comprising a joining region. Sealant is applied to one of the component joining regions. An arrangement is formed by positioning the components relative to each other, whereby an uncured layer of the sealant is formed between associated joining regions. The associated joining regions are clamped against each other using a clamping device, and a clamped state is maintained until the layer of sealant has cured to a pre-defined degree, the clamping device being installable on and transportable along with the arrangement. After the layer of sealant has cured to the pre-defined degree, drilling at a plurality of fastening positions is performed to obtain a hole of final dimension at each fastening position, and installation of a final fastener at each fastening position is performed.
