Residential construction refers to the process of building homes, apartments, townhouses, and other structures where people live. This includes single-family homes, multi-family dwellings, and other types of residential buildings.

The time required to build a home can vary widely based on the size, complexity, and location of the project. On average, a standard single-family home can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months to complete.

A general contractor oversees the entire construction process, managing subcontractors, scheduling, procurement of materials, and ensuring that the project stays on time and within budget. They also ensure that all work complies with building codes and regulations.

A punch list is a document created near the end of a construction project that lists any remaining work, repairs, or adjustments needed before the project can be considered complete. The contractor is responsible for addressing all items on the punch list.
