Construction is a members-only skill that allows players to build their own houses and provide furniture for them. To begin Construction, players must buy a house from one of the estate agents. A starter house will cost 1,000, and will be in Rimmington. A level 40 Magic spell can then be used to teleport to the house, or a house tablet can be used. Alternatively players can walk to Rimmington, where there is a portal ( icon on the map) that will teleport players to their house.

The house starts off with only a parlour and garden, but furniture and additional rooms can be built. To build, go to the options menu, select house options, and set the building mode mode to on. Players will then see what looks like ghost-like hotspots where new objects can be built. See the Constructed items list for details on what you can build at what level.

Players can visit a friend's house if they are online and using the same portal. Players can also use the official house party worlds to make use of max level houses, assuming they are not ironmen, without having to build one themselves. The house advertisem*nt next to the portal showcases said houses.

How to start training Construction[edit | edit source]

Buying a house[edit | edit source]

The first step in training the Construction skill is buying a player-owned house. A house costs 1,000 coins and can be bought by talking to an estate agent.Alternatively players can complete the miniquest Daddy's Home earning a house as a reward.

Estate agent[edit | edit source]

Estate agents are NPCs that sell players land to build their house on. These agents can be found in several major cities: Varrock, Falador, Seers' Village, East Ardougne, and Hosidius. They are identified on the minimap by a symbol of a small house (). Players must pay 1,000 coins to purchase their first house in Rimmington, and begin training the Construction skill.

After reaching certain level milestones between level 1 and 70, players can pay an estate agent to move or decorate their house. For more information on this subject, visit the estate agent page.

Estate agents also sell the Construction cape for 99,000 coins to anyone with level 99 Construction.

How to get to your house[edit | edit source]

There are four ways to enter your player-owned house. The first option is by entering the POH portal that is connected to your house. The other options are by teleporting into your house.

POH Locations[edit | edit source]

The locations of POH portals are identified by the portal icon on the world map.

When first bought, the player-owned house is located in Rimmington. Players can move their house to Rimmington ( 1 ), Taverley ( 10 ), Pollnivneach ( 20 ), Hosidius ( 25 ), Rellekka ( 30 ), Brimhaven ( 40 ), Yanille ( 50 ), or Prifddinas ( 70 ) by paying a small fee (5,000 to 50,000 coins) to an estate agent, assuming they meet the Construction level requirement.

See the POH portal page for more information on the exact location of the POH portals and the (dis)advantages of each location.

Teleports[edit | edit source]

Players can teleport to their house by casting the Teleport to House spell, requiring level 40 Magic, or by breaking a teleport to house tablet. Players who are level 99 in Construction could also use their Construction cape to teleport to their house.

How to build in your house[edit | edit source]

After entering their house, players are able to start training Construction. To do so, first enter the building mode. While in the building mode, translucent hotspots will appear indicating objects can be built here.

Entering building mode[edit | edit source]

There are two ways to enter the building mode of your house. The first option is to right-click the POH portal and selecting the 'build mode' option. The second option is by going to the Options menu in the main game interface. Once "House options" button is chosen, players can toggle Building mode ON and OFF.

While in this building mode, players can purchase extra rooms or build furniture.

Adding new rooms[edit | edit source]

There are many different rooms that can be added to houses. The house a player buys will begin with a garden and parlour, but more rooms can be added. Different rooms will require different Construction levels (ranging from level 1 to 80) and will cost money (ranging from 1,000 to 250,000 coins). New rooms can be added by right-clicking the door hotspots or using the viewer while in building mode.

See the player-owned house page for more information on the exact level requirement and the cost of each room.

Building furniture[edit | edit source]

Each room has a wide and unique variety of objects that can be built in them. The locations for these objects are indicated by their hotspots while in building mode. In order to build an object, right-click the hotspot to open the Furniture Creation Menu and choose one of the available options.

The Furniture Creation Menu will show the Construction level requirement and the materials needed for all objects that can be build in that hotspot.

Besides having the Construction level and material requirements, players will also need to carry a hammer and saw in their inventory in order to build most objects. A filled watering can is needed to add plants to your gardens.

Materials[edit | edit source]

There are multiple materials needed for constructing your house. Most furniture options contain one or more of these items that are often used in the Construction skill. When used in a piece of furniture, these items will reward the player with a set amount of Construction experience. (i.e. When constructing an object with oak planks, this will always reward the player with 60 experience per plank.)

Tips and tricks[edit | edit source]

Servants[edit | edit source]

Servants can be hired at the Servants' Guild, the very north-eastern building in Ardougne. There are five different servants, which can perform various services. All servants are able to greet guests entering a players' home, but some will have different abilities, such as taking items to and from the bank or sawmill. The higher level servant a player has, the faster their service is, the better food they provide, and the more items they can carry to or from a bank or sawmill.

After using a servant's services seven times, the servant will ask the player to pay them. After using a servant's services eight times, the player is required to pay them or the servant will quit. A player can build a servant's money bag and put coins in it to automatically pay their servant.

A player must have at least two bedrooms with beds in them in order to hire a servant. A player may only have one servant at a time; if a player wants to hire a new servant, they must fire their current one first.

Servant	Wages	Level	Food served ^{[d 1]}	Services	Items	Trip Time	Cost per item
Rick	500	20	Shrimp	Bank	6	60 seconds	10.42
Maid	1,000	25	Stew	Bank	10	30 seconds	12.50

^ Served to visiting players, provided the player has a dining room with a table and a kitchen with the necessary supplies.

Phials for unnoting[edit | edit source]

Phials is an NPC located next to the Rimmington General Store in Rimmington who will un-note items for 5 coins per item.

Phials is commonly used by players training Construction due to his proximity to the Rimmington house portal. He is also useful for training Prayer on a gilded altar in a player-owned house.

Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]

Cape of accomplishment[edit | edit source]

A Construction cape is the Cape of Accomplishment for the Construction skill. It can be purchased for 99,000 coins alongside the Construct. hood from any Estate agent by players who have achieved skill mastery (level 99) in the Construction skill.

When the Construction cape is equipped or in the inventory, it provides unlimited teleports to the player's own house and to the house portals located in Rimmington, Taverley, Pollnivneach, Hosidius, Rellekka, Brimhaven, Yanille, and Prifddinas.

STASH units[edit | edit source]

STASH units (short for "Store Things And Stuff Here"), also known as hidey holes, are storage units for emote clue items, saving bank space and bank trips for players who do Treasure Trails frequently.

There are 103 STASH units in total found throughout Gielinor. These locations are initially labelled as inconspicuous bushes/crates/holes/rocks, and, once built, become usable STASH units. Players can check which units they've already built/filled by visiting Watson and reading the noticeboard within his house, or reading the chart in their PoH study after it's been built.

The materials and level required to build these inconspicuous objects into STASH units depend on the tier of clue scroll they relate to. A hammer and a saw are required to build STASH units. All 10 nails must be made of the same metal.

Chambers of Xeric[edit | edit source]

The storage units in the Chambers of Xeric are created using the Construction skill, thus having a Construction level requirement: small storage unit ( 30 ), medium storage unit ( 60 ), large storage unit ( 90 ), and Massive storage unit ( 99 ).

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The house shown in the cutscene when entering a Player-owned house was taken from issue 24 of the God Letters: Guthix Ponders, dating back to 22 September 2004. Its file name was "prettyhouse.jpg".
The watch, sextant and chart cannot be used in your house, trying to use it will give the message: "The sextant doesn't seem to work here".
In RuneScape Classic, there was briefly a skill that had no use called Carpentry. The modern skill of Construction was an updated version of this unused skill.
- Some references to the term Carpentry can still be found in the source files of Old School RuneScape.^[1]
After the release of the Construction skill, there were numerous bugs that have caused an infamous event that has been named the Falador Massacre.
Construction is one of only two skills that unlocks something new at every level with the other skill being Smithing.
An off-colour green pixel is located on the lower left portion of the Construction logo. Proposals to recolour it have not succeeded and it has since become a well-known running joke in the community.
83 Construction is currently considered to be the lowest Construction level needed for a max house, as it can be used with a crystal saw and spicy stew boost to build an ornate jewellery box. 84 Construction allows to build a crystalline portal nexus with both boosts, and 90 Construction allows to plant a Spiritual Fairy Tree with spicy stew.
