Work contract or not

My client is an interior designer in Telangana state. She bought some furnitures from one carpenter who made the furniture according to her instructions. The carpenter provided the material also. He did not provide any invoice to my client as he is not registered dealer.My client sold this furniture to a client in Kolkata.She charged 2 % CST on this order. The client has paid her after deducting 1 % TDS. Now I want to file VAT return for her. My question is-

Will it come under work contract?

Will RCM apply on this contract i.e. my client has to pay  VAT as service receiver of carpenters's service?

I am confused that whether my client has to deposit 2 % CST only or VAT also under RCM.

Please help as 20th is the last day to file return.
