Carpenter
A carpenter is a craftsperson – a person who is responsible for carrying out the physical tasks required to build a structure. A carpenter typically works with wood but also hones skills in cutting, shaping, and installing all sorts of materials in buildings. Whether it’s residential or commercial work, a carpenter must ensure the building’s materials are stable enough to withstand the climate and the structure. -
Carpentry Foreman
A Foreman plans, organizes, supervises and performs journeyman-level rough and finish carpentry in the alteration and construction of buildings, cabinets, and specialty wood items; perform related work.
-
Rough Carpentry vs. Finish Carpentry
Rough carpentry is basic, earlier-stage work. This gives you the structure and frame of the house. Without rough carpentry, there's no frame or foundation to build on. Finish carpentry is more concerned with appearance than function.
