what is Construction?
Construction is a skill that was released on May 31, 2006. People think of Construction as a useless skill that rich people blow cash on for no reason. Construction is a VERY useful skill, whether it is for the gilded altar for prayer, or the portals for slayer, it is very helpful.
The Cape of Construction
The Cape of Construction is worn by the Estate Agents. Four of them are in RuneScape and can be found in Varrock,
west of the Saradomin Church and north west of the Museum
Seers' Village, north east of the bank,
Falador, between the furnace and east bank,
and Aroudgne, west of the south bank.
Useful Items for Construction
There is many items that are very useful for Construction, including Planks, Saw, Nails, Hammer, Boots of Lightness (Temple of Ikov), Spotted Cape (66 Hunter, Gloves of Penance (Barbarian Assault), and lots of cash to blow

Getting Started...
Now, to get started, head to any of the Estate Agents I listed above and buy a house for 1,000 coins. Your house will automatically be set in Rimmington by default, but at different levels, you can set your house in different places. Now, I'll go over the different places, level required, and notes about the location
Rimmington
Rimmington is the default when a house is bought. It only requires 1 Construction. It is easy to bank by walking east to the Squire in Port Sarim then going to the Void Outpost to bank.
Taverly
Taverly requires 10 Construction and 5,000 coins to move. It is not near a bank, but it is good for Amulet of Glory recharging, as it is near the Hero's Guild, and good for Summoning, as it is near the Obelisk below Pikkupstix's house.
Pollnivneach
Pollnivneach requires 20 Construction and 7,500 coins to move. It is no where near a bank, but it is very good for inner desert travel.
Rellekka
Rellekka requires 30 Construction and 10,000 coins to move. It is not very close to a bank, but it is useful if you forget your lyre and for switching to lunar spells, etc.
Brimhaven
Brimhaven requires 40 Construction and 15,000 coins to move. It is near the Brimhaven Dungeon and some other resources.
Yannille
Yanille requires 50 Construction and 20,000 coins to move. It is very close to a bank and is AMAZING for Prayer training.
Training
I am going to list the fastest ways. Up to about 33 Construction, they are decently cheap. After 33, it gets expensive, and you can train any method you wish.
Also, it is useful to make your own planks. If you make your own planks, you save about 170k per hour. If you DO NOT make about 170k per hour when you play RuneScape, then it is suggested you make your own. If you do make over 170k per hour, then it is not suggested you do.
1-9 Construction
1-9 Construction is very simple. Just make regular chairs.
It is very simple, but you may need to make your own planks as it is hard to buy from other players.
9-19 Construction
9-19 Construction, just make larders out of regular planks. It is pretty simple and these require 8 planks each.
19-22 Construction
At 19 Construction, you can now make oak things. Make Oak Chairs until 22 Construction.
22-31 Construction
At this level, you should make Oak Tables. They are better xp as you use more planks at a time.
31-33 Construction
Now, you should make Oak Carved Tables. They are better xp than regular Oak Tables as you get more xp per table.
33-74 Construction
From 33-74 Construction, you should make Oak Larders. They are the fastest xp at until 74 Construction.
At 50 Construction, you should hire a Demon Butler. He can be bought from the Servants' Guild in Aroudge for 10k. Just have your planks noted in your inventory and use them on him and he will bring them to you unnoted. You only have to pay him every 8th time. You can get about 170k xp per hour with the Demon Butler. It costs about 1.2M per hour using this the Demon Butler.
74-99 Construction
At 74 Construction, you should now make Oak Dungeon Doors. They are nearly 65k xp per hour faster than larders. Just use your Demon Butler again and you will go very fast. It costs about 2.1M per hour.
A Few Reminders...
Remember to always have your saw, hammer, and other tools in your inventory as it is wasted time to go back to the bank.
Good Luck on 99 Construction!
