The construction menu
Construction can only be done by unassigned families work. In addition, at least one ox is required if the building requires timber.
A few buildings have flexible borders, identified with a borders square in the construction menu. For those buildings, place 4 points to designate an area. The first two points mark the front of the building. While the lines are straight, they will curve alongside roads.
Once placed, each building can be given a different construction priority if it needs to be constructed before or after other buildings.
Many buildings can be upgraded to increase their functionality. Many upgrades require a certain development branch.
All buildings can be demolished, which will refund all construction resources.

Roads
Road construction
Some buildings allow villagers to use Handcarts to transport up to 10 goods at once. However, pulling a handcart off-road is extremely slow, so make sure to connect your buildings to Roads.
Each map starts with an existing road called King's Road. This road cannot be removed and Trading Posts need to be connected to it to attract Traveling Merchants.
Buildings will automatically snap to roads. This behavior can be disabled in the construction menu.
Homeless people's tents
Every region will start with a Homeless people's tents. They will disappear once all families are housed. Alternatively they can be upgraded for 1 Timber into a Worker camp which will provide 5 Living space.
