A carpenter or builder is a vital contributor to the construction trade. Carpenters construct, repair, and install building frameworks and structures made from wood and other materials. Many work indoors on fine details for cabinetry, walls and even furniture, while other carpenters use their construction trade skills to work outdoors on the skeleton of a building or the temporary bracing for large-scale structures like bridges or sewers.
