WHAT IS A CARPENTER?
Carpenters are responsible to make, renovate and repair structures made of materials like wood, steel and concrete. Using blueprints, drawings and sketches, they determine project requirements, lay out projects in conformance with building codes, and measure, cut, shape, assemble and join wood, wood substitutes, steel studs, and other materials. While on the job site, they make foundations, lay out beams, subflooring, walls and roofs, and fit and install doors and other access points. Many carpenters specialize in forming, framing, finishing, interior systems, or renovation on commercial and industrial sites. Typically, carpenters are involved in every part of building construction.
