This is a very good and fairly cheap way to get 99 Construction...
Enjoy!
Levels 1-19
NOTE: Smaller, more simple housing provides for a shorter wait when toggling building mode.
In the beginning, it is fairly easy to level up. If you want to level up as fast and cheaply as possible, duelling rings and house teleport tablets are recommended. Start by going into the parlour room and create 3 crude wooden chairs by clicking on the chair 'hot spots'. The requirements for creating them are 2 planks and 2 nails per chair. You should now have a construction level of 3. This may give you the impression that Construction is an easy skill, but the higher your level, the harder it becomes due to the increased number of actions needed to increase your skill level.
After you have created 3 crude chairs, you must now remove them. To remove them, simply right click on the chair and select the option 'Remove chair'. A confirmation check will appear in your chat window ensuring that you want to remove said item, click yes. After you've removed the chairs, you must now rebuild them. Repeat this process until you have run out of planks. A fast way that many players use to build and remove chairs quickly is standing by a single chair building and removing only it.
Once you have run out of planks, teleport to Castle Wars (by using a Ring of Duelling) and quickly run to the bank. Withdraw a full inventory of planks, then teleport to your house, which requires 40 magic to teleport to your own house. Now start building crude chairs and removing them. Repeat this process until you have used up your 96 normal planks. By the time you have used up 122 normal planks or created 61 crude wooden chairs, you will have reached 19 Construction.
Alternatively, once you reach level 3 Construction you can go right up to Falador and mine plenty of clay, then go buy a bucket at a general stores and make a clay fireplace until level 10, then make ponds in a garden. This is slightly less expensive and some believe it to be easier from level 3 until 17. A third method is when you become level 5 Construction make decorative rocks in your garden until you wish to switch to something else. Decorative rocks take 5 Limestone bricks and give 100xp each so its 20xp per Limestone brick. Another method is, upon reaching level 8 Construction, creating wooden chairs. Wooden chairs require 3 planks, and 3 nails to create.
Levels 19-31
Once you are level 19 construction, you will now have the ability to create a workshop. I highly suggest creating a workshop as close as you can to the portal. To create a workshop, you must be in building mode. Click on a door 'hot spot' to add onto your house. It requires 10,000 gold to create a workshop. Once you have created a Workshop, you must now create a wooden work bench which requires 5 Planks and 5 Nails. You will now be spending most of your training time constructing on the workbench. The great thing about this work bench is that you can create flatpacks of almost any furniture. These flatpacks are also tradable to other players that might want to buy and add to their own home.
So by now you should have used up all of your normal planks, meaning you will be using Oak planks from this point on. The great thing about Oak planks is that you wont have carry any more nails because they do not require any type of nails to build, and you get more than twice the amount of exp for your money.
At this point, you should be making flatpack oak chairs. Use the teleport method to restock on your supplies and bank your flatpacks because they are a waste of space.
Servants
Usually at level 20, people tend to hire Rick the butler. In terms of time and money, this is incredibly inefficient, considering that Rick only serves food, greets guests, and carries six items to and from the bank. Wait until you are level 30 before you hire a servant. Once you reach 30 Construction, it is wise to hire a Cook because she has the ability to run your logs to the Sawmill. If you have your cook run to the Sawmill, she will ask you money for the Sawmill's fee. The same rule applies for the Butler, and the Demon butler. As you upgrade your butlers, the butler will be faster in turning your logs into planks. The Cook, Butler, and Demon butler each have a max limit on the amount of logs that each can carry. The Cook can carry up to 16 logs at a time, the Butler can carry up to 20 logs at a time, and the Demon butler can carry up to 26 logs at a time. The time it usually takes the Cook to turn your logs into planks is 15 seconds, 10 seconds for the Butler, and 5 seconds for the Demon butler. As time goes on, your servants will ask you to pay there fee. The Cook will ask for 3,000gp, the Butler will ask for 5,000gp, and the Demon butler will ask for 10,000gp. With a newly added feature, you can now have your butler go to the bank and get the money for you.
Note: Servants can be hired in Ardougne, north of thieving stalls.
Levels 32-74
Once you have reached 32 Construction, you will have the ability to make Carved oak tables at your workbench. The requirements for making these tables is 6 planks. Carved oak tables are found under the dining tables icon when creating flatpacks. You will be able to make up to 3 Carved oak table flatpacks at a time, and will have 5 Oak planks left over. With the remaining 5 Planks, create 1 Oak chair, and 1 Oak arm chair which will use up all the Oak planks in your inventory. You use the teleportation method when needed.
Strategy: Alternatively if you wield an Air staff and have a saw, hammer, law runes and earth runes in your inventory for Camelot and home teleport. You should have 24 inventory spaces for oak planks so of course you can't use a butler to get your planks but it is quicker making 4 carved tables than 3 tables plus 2 chairs. What you do is teleport to Camelot, withdraw 24 oak planks, teleport to your house, flatpack 4 carved tables then repeat.
Another commonly used process is to use the Oak larders technique. To start the process, it requires to have 33 Construction, lots of Oak planks, a kitchen room, and a servant of a cook or higher. To start, first go to your house in build mode. Tell your servant to get Oak planks from your bank. Go to your kitchen, once your servant comes back with your Oak planks, tell the servant to return back with more Oak planks. Then build a Oak larder in the larder's hot spot (each time you build a Oak larder, it requires 8 planks). Next, you must remove it and build another oak larder until you are out of planks. Your servant should be back now with more oak planks for you to build more Oak larders. Once your servant is back, command the servant to bring back more Oak planks. Repeat this process until you are satisfied. This method gains no revenue, so any money you invest in gaining experience will be lost.
Keep repeating this process until you reach 40 Construction, then upgrade your servant to a Butler. After that, go back to creating Carved oak flatpacks until you reach 50 Construction. If you want to continue past 50 Construction, it is suggested that you use this method until you are satisfied with your level.
A cheaper method is to make Decorative Rocks (5 Limestone bricks) at 100exp per (20 exp per Limestone brick). This could save you a fair bit of money even if it takes you slightly longer. Mining your own Limestone and turning them to bricks means you can either do bank runs or only spend money on servant wages.
Levels 74-99
If you have a Butler and a Dungeon and are using Oak planks, it is recommended that you build Oak dungeon doors. Have a normal butler bring you 20 Oak planks at a time and while he is fetching the planks, you have time (if you're fast) to build and remove 2 doors. This method brings you far more experience than the Oak table method. You do not need a bell because as soon as the Butler gives you the planks you send him out for more.
Enjoy!
