carcasse of a building

From Termium plus:

DEF – The loadbearing part of a structure without windows, doors, plaster, or finishes. Source, record 1, Definition 1 - carcass

DEF – Building of which only the structure is complete. Source, record 1, Definition 2 - carcass

OBS – Carcass ... The term is normally applied to buildings complete structurally, but lacking internal services, finishes, and fittings. Source, record 1, Observation 1 - carcass

DEF – Ensemble des ouvrages d'un bâtiment qui composent son ossature et assurent sa stabilité, par opposition au second-oeuvre, qui assure son étanchéité, son équipement, son isolation thermique, sa décoration, etc. Source, record 1, Definition 1 - gros oeuvre

DEF – Bâtiment dans lequel seule la structure est achevée. Source, record 1, Definition 2 - gros oeuvre

And yes gros oeuvre is followed by second oeuvre.
