Construction has so many benefits as it allows players to own a house and add different features to it, giving them abilities to teleport to different areas, rejuvenate, and even fulfill specific requirements for quests and achievement diaries. However, training construction is click-intensive and costly, it involves repeatedly building and removing furniture in a player-owned house.
To start construction, players must buy a house from one of the estate agents or complete the daddy’s home miniquest. A starter house costs 1,000 coins and will be located in Rimmington. 40 magic is required to cast the teleport-to-house spell or you can use house tablets to teleport to your house.
You should set your windows as resizeable and widen the game client slightly so that there is some space between the chatbox and the right-hand side control panel, this would help minimize mouse movements, making construction training significantly easier.
This quest requires completion of The Grand Tree, 5 construction, and 46 magic. It rewards crystal saw seed which can be used on the singing bowl by Brimstail to get the enchanted crystal saw. The crystal saw allows the player to build furniture up to 3 levels higher than their current construction level but would only provide this boost for furniture that requires both a saw and a hammer.
The plank sacks hold a total of 28 planks of any type. Servants can’t deliver the planks into a plank sack which makes it a poor option for construction training in a Player-owned house but it is highly recommended for Ultimate Ironmen and when playing the Mahogany Homes minigame.
This runelite plugin allows players to change the default left-click and shift-click options that are displayed when hovering over any in-game object or item. Using this plugin removes the need for the player to continuously right-click when training construction.
Having a servant is very important when training construction. A servant is an NPC that players can hire for various services in their player-owned house, These servants can help players fetch or deposit different planks, saving them the time they would need to unnote their planks from Phials. Players can hire servants from the Servant’s Guild, which is located north of the marketplace in East Ardougne as shown below
All servants request a payment after every eight trips, the amount requested by each servant is shown below
Rick: Players need to have a construction of 20 to hire Rick who requests for a payment of 500 coins. He can only deliver 6 items at a time.
Maid: Players need to have a construction of 25 to hire Maid who requests for a payment of 1,000 coins. She can only deliver 10 items at a time.
Cook: Players need to have a construction of 30 to hire Cook who requests for a payment of 3,000 coins. He can only deliver 16 items at a time.
Butler: Players need to have a construction of 40 to hire Butler who requests for a payment of 5,000 coins. He can deliver 20 items at a time.
Demon butler: Players need to have a construction of 50 to hire the Demon butler who requests for a payment of 10,000 coins. He can deliver 26 items at a time.
Daddy’s home is a miniquest where the player helps Mario’s father renovate a recently squatted home. It is quite short and rewards the player with a total of 544 construction experience, a player-owned house in Rimmington or 1,000 coins if you already have one, and Marlo’s crate which contains 25 planks, 50 mithril nails, 5 steel bars, 10 oak planks, 8 bolts of cloth, 5 house teleports and 1 falador.
This method of training involves building and removing furniture in a player-owned house. It is the fastest way of training construction after the completion of the daddy’s home, Lower tiers of furniture require the player to have a hammer, plank, and nails but as the player’s construction level increases they can build higher tiers of furniture which require only a certain type of plank to be built. With this method, the player will continuously receive construction experience every time they build furniture. To get the fastest construction experience rates, the player should build the furniture that offers the highest construction experience for their level as shown below.
8 planks and at least 4 steel nails are required to build a wooden bookcase in the Parlour of a player-owned house, each one built rewards the player with 115 construction experience
8 planks and at least 4 steel nails are required to build a wooden larder in the Kitchen of a player-owned house, each one built rewards the player with 115 construction experience

Oak larders can be built with a hammer and oak planks in the larder space of a kitchen in a Player-owned house, each Oak Larder built awards the player with 480 construction experience. Building Oak larders is the fastest way of training construction from levels 33 to 52.

Building Mahogany Furniture: Level 52 - 99
Building Mahogany furniture is an expensive and click-intensive method of training construction, it becomes the fastest way of training construction at level 52.
Building mahogany tables in the dining room is the fastest way to use mahogany planks until level 77 construction. 6 mahogany planks are required to build a mahogany table and the player is rewarded with 840 construction experience for every one built.
The player should expect 900,000 construction experience per hour when making mahogany tables.
Making Mahogany Tables costs 16.83 GP per XP. The player would spend 21M GP for planks and 470K GP for a servant to get to level 77
If you choose to make mahogany tables till level 99 construction, you would need to spend 211M GP for planks and 4.5M GP for a servant.
A Gnome Bench can be built in the seating space of the Superior garden in a player-owned house. It offers the fastest construction experience at level 77 construction. Players are required to have 6 mahogany planks, a saw, and a hammer in their inventory before they can build a gnome bench. Each gnome bench built offers the player 840 construction experience.
Building Gnome benches has to be done perfectly as any mistakes could make it give about the same construction experience as building mahogany tables.

Making Gnome benches costs 16.83 GP per XP with a servant or 16.49 GP per XP without a servant. It would cost the player roughly 189M GP for planks and 4M GP for a servant to get to 99 construction when using this method.

The teak garden bench can be made in the seating space of the superior garden in a player-owned house and requires a saw and a hammer. Making Teak Benches is quite similar to gnome benches, it requires practice to get precise timing and accurate clicks. However, it is cheaper and significantly slower, it requires 6 teak planks and gives the player 540 construction experience.
Players can expect experience rates between 600,000 to 500,000 experience per hour.

A mounted mythical cape can be built in the guild trophy space of the quest hall in a player-owned house. It requires three teak planks and a hammer before it can be built and offers the player 370 construction experience when built. It is generally not advisable to train with this method since it costs the same as making oak larders, and it is just as click-intensive but yields lower experience rates.
Tip: Have an equipable item in your inventory. In case you make a mistake and cannot remove a mounted mythical cape because your inventory is full of planks. You should equip the item to free up space in your inventory.
Players can get up to 430,000 construction experience per hour.
Building a Mounted Mythical cape costs 8.13 GP per XP or 10.61 GP per XP without a servant.
Mahogany Homes is a construction minigame in which players complete contracts for various NPCs in Falador, Varrock, East Ardoune, and Hosidius, it mainly involves repairing furniture in different NPCs houses.

Players can start by speaking to Amy in Falador as the owner of the player-owned house. This would allow them to start taking contracts depending on their construction level. More contracts can be gotten from
Marlo in Varrock
Ellie in East Ardougne
Angelo in Hosidius.
