German term or phrase: Aufzeichnen
Aufzeichnen und fertigen von Holzschalungen aller Art

From a CV for a builder.

I understand this to be about making timber cladding but I don't understand what the "Aufzeichnen' is here. Is it 'recording' or 'sketching" and making the cladding from the sketches?
