Product Types

This parameter represents a specific product requirement in a construction project, which product listings fulfill. A product type categorizes product listings under a specific family or section.

A product type is a collection of a product type properties that define a product's class, usage, and performance. Typically, a given product listing's product properties are based on the listing's product type.
