homebuilding
Residential structure creation
Homebuilding is the construction of houses, whether as an industry or individual activity.
The term typically refers to residential construction rather than commercial buildings: Homebuilding slowed during the recession.
A homebuilder constructs houses, usually multiple units for sale rather than custom single projects.
