Abstract
A sleeve () for centering fasteners during the assembly of components such as facade elements on the substructure of a building envelope includes a sleeve body () and a connection bracket (). The sleeve body () has a plurality of sleeve elements () which are grouped around a central center axis A and are spaced apart from each other by gaps running in the sleeve longitudinal direction. At least a first () and a second () sleeve piece are connected to each other at an axial longitudinal end of the sleeve body () by a separable connection bracket (), preferably the connection bracket is separable via predetermined breaking points. Such a sleeve is used in the construction of facades, wherein it is inserted into a pilot hole of a facade element, the connection bracket is broken off and a fastener is inserted into the sleeve. Driving the fastener centers the fastener in the sleeve and the sleeve is removed from the pilot hole.
