Yep. Cabinet_maker.
Usually a person who builds houses is not as specialized as a
cabinet_maker. A cabinet_maker would be the craftsman who makes the
furniture and/or kitchen cabinets for a house when it is first built
or during a remodel of an existing house.
A cabinet maker works to much tighter tolerances .. 1 mm or less is
usual. Hammers are used for light assembly.
The wood worker for a house is a carpenter .. they work to tolerance of
5 or more mm .. hammers get used (sometimes with much force!) to correct
'minor' alignments. These people do house frames, floors, roof frames,
doors and door frames. They do not fit kitchens - that is cabinetry and
needs a cabinet maker (unless the cabinets are 'flat packs' any one can
do those!).
A person may have both skill sets enabling them to do both jobs.

What would be the "correct" English term (craft=* value) for a
"furniture maker"?
And what if that craftsman works on both building houses and
making furniture ("Bau- und Möbeltischlerei" in German)?
