erectors

Those who raise

Erectors are people or things that erect—that is, build, assemble, or raise something upright.

Construction workers who put up steel frameworks are steel erectors; companies that install prefabricated buildings are building erectors.

In anatomy, erector muscles are those that raise or straighten a body part, most notably the erector spinae, the group of muscles running along the spine that keep the back upright.

The erectors finished the scaffolding by noon.
