Codex entry
Construction works arose around every major building site, employing stonemasons, carpenters, bricklayers, blacksmiths, freight haulers, stone cutters, ropers, pillar makers, coopers, and so on. Sundry labour was done by unskilled hirelings. Stone or wooden elements and auxiliary structures were made directly on site. The place where the construction works was called a courtyard. Artisans often use specialized tools such as wooden lifting machines, winches, hoists and cranes powered by hand or by means of large treadwheels.
Construction works assembled a great many workers, who became bonded together by natural and informal ties. The community of workers also provided ample custom for the surrounding merchants and innkeepers, and most of the workers would live in the vicinity for the duration of the building project, which often lasted years. The Master Builder was in charge – allocating tasks, leading the construction process and negotiating with the owner or patron of the building.
