Which of the following would be considered Tradespeople?

• A. Architect
• B. Cabinet maker
• C. Project Manager
• D. Interior Designer

Answer: (B)

Tradespeople are the skilled craftsmen who perform the hands-on building and fabrication tasks needed to realize a design. In interior design practice, you separate the design professionals who plan and oversee a project from the workers who actually construct or install the elements.

A cabinet maker fits this definition because they create and install custom woodwork and cabinetry, turning design plans into tangible, built components in the space. This is a skilled trade involving carpentry, joinery, and finishing.

Architects and interior designers are primarily designers and planners, focusing on layout, aesthetics, and specifications rather than performing the fabrication work. A project manager coordinates schedules, budgets, and resources rather than doing the craft itself.

So the cabinet maker is the one who operates as a tradesperson.
