The history and development

of carpentry works in the


Philippines.
carpentry, the art and trade of cutting, working, and joining
timber. The term includes both structural timberwork in framing
and items such as doors, windows, and staircases.
In the past, when buildings were often wholly constructed of
timber framing, the carpenter played a considerable part in
building construction; along with the mason he was the principal
building worker. The scope of the carpenter’s work has altered,
however, with the passage of time. Increasing use of concrete and
steel construction, especially for floors and roofs, means that the
carpenter plays a smaller part in making the framework of
buildings, except for houses and small structures. On the other
hand, in the construction of temporary formwork and shuttering for
concrete building, the carpenter’s work has greatly increased.
