What does AGMT mean in ARCHITECTURE

An Architectural Glass Metal Technician (AGMT) is a professional designation for individuals who specialize in the design, installation and maintenance of glass and metal components in architectural constructions.

An AGMT's tasks may include designing custom glass and metal components for buildings, installing these components onto existing structures, maintaining existing glass and metal installations, as well as providing technical advice about glass and metal construction.

In order to pursue a career as an AGMT you need relevant training or experience in related fields such as building construction or engineering. You may also need certifications such as welding certificates or trade qualifications depending on the type of work you plan to undertake.

AGMTs typically use hand tools such as drills, saws, riveters, files and grinders; power tools such as welding torches; measuring tools such as calipers, levels and rulers; protective equipment like safety glasses; materials like screws, nails and adhesives; ladders; scaffolding; cranes; hoists.

Working with glass can be hazardous due to its brittle nature. Additionally, many tasks require precision measurements which must be accurate down to the millimetre. Moreover the work often requires lifting heavy objects which creates both physical strain on the technician's body as well strong concentration from them.
