Carpentry is probably one of the oldest trades around. The role of the carpenter is basically to construct what is termed the 'first fix' in construction. 'First fix' would be roofs floors and frames. The word carpenter comes from the latin word "to carry" so you could consider the role of the carpenter as providing the structural timbers for a building, e.g. those which carry loads.
