frame construction


Explanation:
I believe the Norwegian word should be "bindingsverk"; not "bindeverk", which probably is an abbreviation.
Other terms:"framework", "frame".

aluminum framing/aluminum structure


Explanation:
"Bindeverk" refers to the framing or structure of a building or other construction made up of beams and supports that are used to hold everything together. In the context of the sentence you provided, "aluminiumsbindeverk" would translate to "aluminum framing" or "aluminum structure".

So, the sentence "Brennmerker i skjøter og vinkler på aluminiumsbindeverket" would translate to "Burn marks in joints and angles on the aluminum framing/structure".
