Construction
Construction is a skill that allows players to build their own houses and add furniture and appliances to them. Players do not need to purchase their house, as each account is automatically setup with one ready to be renovated. You can enter your home using the House Portal south of home.
The Construction skill progresses through the creation of appliances in your house. Therefore, it is important to stock up on the necessary materials. If you are only looking to progress your skill to level 99 through the fastest XP possible, the only materials you will need are Steel nails, planks, oak planks, teak planks, and mahogany planks. If you are interested in house decoration, then many more materials will be required.

Types of Rooms
There are a variety of rooms that can be created to make your POH seem more like a home, but for the sake of skill progression we will only be displaying the rooms that are ideal for level progression from 1-99.
The Parlour can be purchased with 1 construction for 1000 gp. In this room, we will be building and removing chairs.
The Dining Room can be purchased with 10 construction for 5000 gp. In this room, we will be building and removing tables.
Servants
Butlers are servants that players can hire to send or retrieve items to and from banks at the cost of coins. These will end up saving the player a lot of time when training as you are less focused on rebanking and just stick to building and removing furniture.

How to Use Servants
A Servant can be purchased in a northern building in East Ardougne, highlighted in the images below:
To hire any servant, simply speak to them and select the 'You're hired!' dialogue option. After being hired, they will appear in your house while building mode is on.
In Zeah, servants are unable to fetch items from your bank. However, you may use noted planks on a servant to unnote them in your inventory and build without delay.
