Residential construction refers to the building or renovation of homes, apartments, and other types of residential properties. This type of construction can include single-family houses, townhouses, condominiums, and multi-unit apartment buildings. Residential construction is typically done by general contractors who specialize in this area of construction. The process involves planning, designing, and overseeing the entire building or renovation project from start to finish. This includes obtaining permits, hiring subcontractors, and ensuring that all work meets local building codes and standards. Residential construction is a vital part of the real estate market as it provides homes for people to live in.
