Framing Carpenters can work on residential and commercial construction projects, in furniture manufacturing and in cabinetry shops. They construct the structural supports for buildings, while Cabinet Builders and Finish Carpenters often work on interior renovation projects. Framing Carpenters may be employed by a framing or general contractor, or they can work on their own and negotiate with suppliers, clients, engineers and other specialists, such as architects. They may work with a variety of hand and power tools to rough cut the lumber, shape furniture components or join pieces together in structures.
