When building a house, the person who puts up the framing is the builder, the person who wires the electrics is the electrician, the person who does the plumbing is the plumber.
Who fixes and installs windows?
The glass man?

@Mari-LouA - As far as I can see - you added glazier to your answer 4 hours ago, while hotlicks answered 'glazier' 'yesterday' whatever that is.

You should clarifyyour question: "window panes" are replaced by a "glazier" when they get broken, but when you build a house you do not call a glazier, you buy windows and a carpenter ("window installer") installs them. Do you get it? The text of your question conflicts with its title

A glazier, sometimes spelled as glazer, is also known as a glass worker. The Free Dictionary mentions that a glassworker (one word), is a person who cuts flat glass to size.
Common synonyms include: glass cutter, glass-cutter; glass installer, and glass setter
Not to be confused with: glassblower, glassmith, or glassmaker, who are workers/ tradesmen/people who make glass.
One final synonym comes from the American website, Craigslist, which defines the job position of a Glass Technician as
Our client, […], is looking for a dependability enthusiastic candidate for an apprentice Flat Glass (Glazier) Technician for their growing team in St. John's, Newfoundland.
Responsibilities
• Repair/ replace commercial and residential glass and glazing systems
• Measure, fabricate and install mirrors, glass and custom showers
• Perform mobile service glazing

Should I Become a Window Installer?
Window installers fit pre-made windows into window openings and door frames of homes and buildings.

From service reviews of American Window Company:
The installer Manny and his assistant were quick, neat and very professional. My windows look awesome and I can already tell a difference in sound and insulation
The installers left the house as if they had never been there.
