construction is a members-only skill that allows players to build their own houses and provide furniture for them. to begin construction, players must buy a house from one of the estate agents. a starter house will cost 1,000, and will be in rimmington. a level 40 magic spell can then be used to teleport to the house, or a house tablet can be used. alternatively players can walk to rimmington, where there is a portal ( icon on the map) that will teleport players to their house.

it is important to understand the building design phases and the information required at each stage.the development and construction of buildings can be both a stressful and confusing process, as well as a rewarding one for clients and stakeholders.having developed a clear brief, which has ownership from all important user groups and stakeholders, and having selected an appropriate team, it is useful to understand how the design, documentation and procurement of the building will progress.if the team is new to the building design process, understanding the building design phases and what level of information should be expected from both the architect and the client at each stage is critical.building development phases1. predesignsite feasibilities and masterplanningreview brief,
