Carpentry / Joinery
- wood working as a site-based operation, as opposed to joinery which is a workshop based operation.
Carpentry might involve constructing partions, roofs etc, or fixing together/in place, what the joiner has
manufactured in the workshop, which might include doors, staircases etc.
From the French word "charpente" meaning structural timber.
