| History | The first huts and shelters were constructed by hand or with simple tools. As cities grew during the Bronze Age, a class of professional craftsmen, like bricklayers and carpenters, appeared. In the 19th century, steam power machinery appeared, and later diesel and electric powered vehicles such as cranes, excavators and bulldozers. Fast track construction has been increasingly popular in the 21st century. | In the earliest time, manufacturing was usually carried out by a single skilled artisan with assistants. Training was by apprenticeship. In much of the pre-industrial world, the guild system protected the privileges and trade secrets of urban artisans. Before the Industrial Revolution, most manufacturing occurred in rural areas, where household-based manufacturing served as a supplemental subsistence strategy to agriculture. Entrepreneurs organized a number of manufacturing households into a single enterprise through the putting-out system. |
| Word origin | It was originated from Late Middle English: via Old French from Latin constructio(n-), from construere ‘heap together’. | It was originated in Mid16th century (as noun, denoting something made by hand): from French (re-formed by association with Latin manu factum ‘made by hand’), from Italian manifattura. The verb dates from the Mid17th century. |
