Once you've placed a town hall, citizen's chest and a builder's chest, one of your townspeople will become a builder. You can see this because they'll wear an extremely fashionable silver or gold hat. After that you can right click on a citizen's chest, click actions, then click build house. Then your builder will get to work.

When you put down your town hall chest, a second chest should appear, and there should be some citizen's chests inside of it. They're the ones with the orange pot looking thing on the top of them. You plop one of those down (a ways away from your town hall), and you also plop down a builder chest. After a little while, settlers will spawn around your town hall and go looking for a citizen's chest to call home. Once they have a home, the male will go look for a job.
Since the only one you have open is the builder, he'll become a builder. Now, he won't do anything until you tell him to. In RC13, he uses materials, so you'll need to get him some wood. It's not a bad idea to have a lumberjack and a farmer, but until you get houses built, you only have 4 workers, and 5 kinds of jobs, so think about which ones you actually need to start with. In RC12, I haven't seen evidence that my builder uses materials, but I haven't seen evidence that he doesn't either...
Anyway. You put his supplies in his worker chest. Then, to build a house, you open the citizen's chest, and in the top right corner there's an Information button. Click that, and it'll give you a menu. On the bottom is "build house." MAKE SURE your back is in the direction you want the front door to be. That's how you give the build order for any building.
To get more villagers, you have to build 4 houses for the first 8 that just show up, and then you have to build 1 more house for every husband and wife pair. You make more citizen's chests by crafting one torch in the center, surrounded by planks.
(I just woke up, so if this isn't clear enough, let me know. I can try to explain it better.)
Edit: Or Vega can post a better guide while I'm typing. >.>

In that case, Vega, can we build the houses manually(Old fashion Minecraft default style) or is an NPC Builder necessary? Sorry if this question annoys you but some pointers here would be helpful for the wiki as well.

I'm pretty sure the houses wont register unless the builder builds them... You can always edit the building file yourself if you want to change the appearance of them though , and you could in theory set the building plan to just build "fresh Air" so the mod will register that the building is built, but the plot will still be empty for you to build what you like on it...

Sounds groovy. I'll give it a try though=D Thanks for advice btw!

Just backup the standard house files before you tinker with them..

Just tried tinkering with the script. Apparently, you can make a "Fresh Air" version out of the citizen chest, enabling you to virtually customize any house you desire for you're loyal subjects. Just in case some of you are wondering. Here's the script that I "edited"(more like deleted just a few lines). But one still has to click on the build action on the citizen chest to upgrade the building, except this time the builder would only approach the chest without placing any blocks or otherwise as such in the default version. Although I do have a question of my own. What are the functions of the 3 digit numbers(Highlighted green)?

It's the height, width and depth. I dunno which is which, I'd have to look it up. There should be a builder text file or something in the zip that explains it.

Actually the numbers in green look like position of the chest to me.
