Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Installation of metal sheet roofing
Spanish term or phrase: desplante
This is from a Mexican technical brochure for metal sheet roofing panels. I have included three examples of how the term appears in the document.

Antes de proceder a la colocación de los paneles, el contratista debe verificar los elementos de desplante de los paneles, ya sean firmes o elementos de soporte estructural, verificando que se encuentren a nivel, plomeados y que su espaciamiento sea el adecuado dependiendo del tipo de panel requerido.

Desplante de muro exterior

El panel de muro debe estar en contacto con el aislamiento del piso, lográndose la continuidad del aislamiento; en caso de que se presenten puentes térmicos, se deberá realizar un corte (en el perímetro de la cámara), a la lámina inferior del panel del muro por encima de la moldura de desplante.

Explanation:
This is the basic idea: bottom or foot. "Desplante de muro exterior" is the base or foot of an exterior wall and "moldura de desplante" is a baseboard.

Here's a definition from the Diccionario del español de México:

"desplante
s m
[...]
2 (Arq) Parte inferior o comienzo de un elemento arquitectónico"

Here's a photo of a "cadena de desplante" or base grid; go to slide 25:

"Cadena de desplante
Es una trabe que sirve para distribuir las cargas verticales y ayudar a la estructura a trabajar correctamente en casos de asentamientos. Generalmente es de concreto armado, del mismo ancho del muro y sirve para evitar que el muro sufra fallas o cuarteaduras. [...]
Se realizan:
- Bajo todos los muros que se van a desplantar
- Sobre las cimentaciones que se hayan construido."

"Colocación de la moldura de desplante (cuando este prevista) al pie de la pared"

The aislamiento is at the base of the building.
