Residential Construction Performance Guidelines

Coppola Brothers LLC is a member of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The NAHB is one of the largest trade associations in the United States, representing the interest of home builders, developers, contractors, remodelers, and associated industries. They periodically publish updates to a book called the Residential Construction Performance Guidelines (RCPG) that a quality contractor would adhere to.

The Residential Construction Performance Guidelines, Consumer Reference Sixth Edition gives homeowners, builders, and contractors an authoritative benchmark for evaluating construction quality across every stage of a residential project.

This reference details common field observations, measurable performance guidelines, and specific contractor corrective measures covering site work, foundations, framing, wood decks, composite materials, exterior finishes, and interior components. By defining acceptable tolerances versus consumer maintenance responsibilities, this manual provides clear expectations for new builds and renovation projects.

This booklet is the most widely-used reference guide in the home building and remodeling industry for the performance of homes during the warranty period. If you are interested in learning more about them, the NAHB makes this available to the consumer to look at.
