Which of the following is NOT a category of residential construction?

  1. Speculative homes

  2. Tract homes

  3. Commercial homes

  4. Custom homes

The correct answer is: Commercial homes

The term "commercial homes" does not accurately describe a recognized category of residential construction. In the realm of construction, residential categories typically include speculative homes, tract homes, and custom homes. Speculative homes are built by builders on the assumption that they will find buyers after completion, which allows for a variety of designs and options. Tract homes are often built in large subdivisions and are usually similar in design and layout, appealing to a more extensive market. Custom homes are tailored to the specific desires and needs of individual clients, allowing for personal touches in the design and construction process. Since "commercial homes" implies a category that would pertain to commercial real estate or non-residential construction, it stands apart from these established residential categories, making it the correct answer for this question.
