Constructing Your Way to Success in Old School RuneScape
Building and managing a Player-Owned House (POH) is a crucial aspect of Old School RuneScape, and the Construction skill is essential for this. From teleport portals to rejuvenation pools, there are a plethora of benefits that come with mastering this skill.
Training Construction all the way to 99 can be click-intensive and expensive due to the vast amount of content involved with Player-Owned Houses. However, there are ways to minimize costs and make the most out of your POH.
How to Level Construction from 1-99 in OSRS
If you’re looking to reach 99 Construction in OSRS, the journey is best accomplished through Mahogany Homes or by following specific furniture-building milestones. For example, building Oak Larders till 50, and then progressing on to building Oak Dungeon Doors till 99, can be an effective path.
Setting Up Your Player-Owned House
Purchasing a house in Rimmington is the starting point for your Construction journey. As you progress, you can relocate your house to different areas for a fee depending on your Construction level.
Once you have your house set up, the sky’s the limit in terms of customization. However, for the purposes of this guide, we will focus on the training process rather than the intricate details of POH customization.
Levels 1-99: Mahogany Homes Minigame
The introduction of Mahogany Homes in 2020 provides a more relaxed and rewarding approach to Construction training. Completing contracts can earn you varying amounts of Construction experience based on your level and material costs.
At higher levels, the efficiency of your training largely depends on your capability to access and utilize various teleportation methods efficiently.
Levels 1-33: Building Standard Furniture
Starting off, the building process includes simple items like Wooden Chairs and Wooden Larders. This method, though repetitive, lays the foundation for your Construction journey.
As you progress, you’ll unlock the ability to build Repair benches, and this is where your training starts to pick up.
Levels 33-74: Building Oak Larders
At level 33, building Oak Larders becomes an efficient method for gaining Construction experience. With minimal material requirements, this method can provide a significant boost to your training efforts.
With the help of a Demon Butler, your training process can become even more streamlined, allowing for faster experience gains.
Levels 74-99: Building Oak Dungeon Doors
Building Oak Dungeon Doors at level 74 becomes a more cost-effective and faster approach to training Construction. The material requirements are reasonable, making this method preferable for those looking to reach level 99.
Other Things to Consider
Quests That Reward Construction Experience
Several quests in the game provide Construction experience upon completion. Leveraging these quests can give you a head start or an extra boost in your training process.
Construction-Based Items
Crystal Saw
The Crystal Saw, obtained as a reward from the Crystal Saw Seed, allows you to build items that are 3 levels higher than your current Construction level. This can significantly reduce the time required for training.

The Carpenter’s Outfit offers increased Construction experience when fully worn, making it a valuable addition to your training arsenal.
Plank Sack
The Plank Sack, available in the Mahogany Homes shop, provides a convenient way to store planks, saving you valuable inventory space.
Obtaining the Construction Skillcape
Reaching level 99 in Construction is a significant achievement, and you can obtain the Construction Skillcape from any of the Estate Agents for 99k. This cape offers unlimited teleports to your POH and all the POH portals in Old School RuneScape!
