Without sound knowledge of standards, one is according to my interpretation of the official definition according to DIN VDE 1000-10 no electrical specialist.
Since 2007-09, for the installation of grounding systems not only the qualification as an electrical specialist but - as for other electrical installations - also an entry in the installer directory of a VNB is required.
It will probably not be worse than usual when installed by bricklayers or electrical specialists, of whom only a few exotic ones really know DIN 18014:2014-03. Even as a graduate engineer for electrical engineering, one should have read it.
DIN 18014:2014-03 costs €94.10, cheaper is the mandatory reading according to the Federal Installation Committee, the standards manual for electricians for €82.00.
It goes without saying that a multimeter is not sufficient for this.
Favor electricians who bless grounding systems they have never inspected in the meter registrations as compliant with the standards are, as known, always to be found.
However, as an electrical engineering graduate engineer, I am also not a layman, but even according to DIN VDE 1000-10 (VDE 1000-10) an electrical specialist and aware of potential dangers.

7.3 Continuity measurement
The continuity measurement between the connection part for the main grounding bar and all other connection parts must have a resistance value according to 5.8 of ≤ 0.2 Ω. Measuring devices according to DIN EN 61557-4 (VDE 0413-4) must be used. The continuity measurement must be carried out before the concrete is poured.
NOTE The measuring current according to DIN EN 61557-4 (VDE 0413-4) within the minimum measuring range is 0.2 A.
It goes without saying that a multimeter is not sufficient for this.
