What 建具製造 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
現在、建築物の外部に面する開口部には金属製ドアなどの建具が使用される場合が多いが、内装に関しては木製の建具が使用される場合もある。一般住宅においては、各部屋の入口の戸、押入、クローゼット等の戸、襖、障子等があり生活には欠かせないものとなっている。
建具は、戸や扉など単体のみを作るだけでなく開口部に取り付けて、はじめて役目を果たすものが多い。したがって仕事としては、製造作業と、取り付け作業に大きく分けられる。製造作業の流れは、まず機械を使って木材を切断し、表面を削ったり穴を開けたりする木工機械作業を行なう。必要に応じてのみ、かんな等の手工具で加工をし、各部品ができたら、接着剤等を併用して建具のかたちに組立てる。表面は、木材の生地のままの場合や、塗装による仕上げ、化粧合板による仕上げ等がある。塗装は建具製造事業所で行なう場合と、現場で塗装業者が行なう場合がある。
取り付け作業は、現場で必要に応じ、電動工具やのみ、かんな等を使って切削等を行い建具の開閉形式によって様々な金物等を取り付けながら行なう。
◇ よく使う道具、機材、情報技術等
木工機械、工具（かんな、のみ、刃物、かなづち、のこぎり等の手動工具、ドリル等の電動工具）、除じん装置、作業中の保護具（ヘルメット、ゴーグル、グローブ、安全靴等）

Today ¥4.34M → in 3 years ¥4.69M → in 5 years ¥4.94M → in 10 years ¥5.63M (10-year range ¥4.84M–¥6.54M). The model assumes pay growth of +2.6% per year.
What drives the annual growth rate
Projected pay = current pay × (1 + annual growth)^years. The annual growth rate starts from a base wage-growth rate and adds or subtracts labor demand (the job-openings-to-applicants ratio), wage momentum and AI replacement risk for each occupation. Projections are not guarantees. How it is calculated →

Will AI replace 建具製造? AI replacement risk
How AI is changing this job
A written analysis for this occupation is being prepared.
AI replacement risk compares the parts of a job that are easy to hand to AI or software (processing information, documentation, repetitive computer work) with the parts that are hard to automate (physical work, working closely with people, judgment in unpredictable settings), using the MHLW job tag survey on work activities, work context, skills and knowledge. The result is a relative position among all occupations in the country, scaled to 0–100%. Methodology →
Labor demand for 建具製造
A ratio above 1.0 means there are more job openings than applicants (a labor shortage). The 5- and 10-year figures are estimates from the openings ratio, wage momentum and AI replacement risk.
