This includes single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums, and apartment buildings. The category covers new constructions, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs.

What businesses are included

Residential Building Construction covers a wide range of activities, from building new homes from the ground up to renovating existing ones. This includes tasks such as framing, roofing, installing windows and doors, plumbing, electrical work, and interior finishing. For example, a company that builds custom homes on empty lots or a contractor that specializes in bathroom renovations would both fall under this industry.

These businesses fall under Specialty Trade Contractors.
