If you want more inventory or a way to tap into a whole different sector in real estate, working with new home builders or with customers wanting to purchase lots and build their own homes, residential construction is the way to go. However, to successfully work in this market you must first have a general knowledge of new residential construction.

The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of residential construction, “from the ground up,†to familiarize you with general construction procedures, including terminology, building codes, structural components and the flow of construction from foundation to finishing.
