Which wage determination applies to my project?
The one in your contract. A WD is generally locked in when the contract is awarded (for sealed bids, a modification published at least 10 days before bid opening applies), and later modifications do not change it except in cases such as added out-of-scope work or option extensions. See 29 CFR 1.6(c).
What counts as residential construction?
Single family houses and apartment buildings of no more than 4 stories. The contracting agency picks the construction type; it is written into your contract with the WD. Source: DOL All Agency Memorandum 130.
What if my worker's trade is not on the list?
Work that needs a classification the WD does not list is added after award through a conformance request, which goes through the contracting agency to the Department of Labor (29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii)). Do not use a different classification because its rate looks close.

Using these rates on a WH-347

Each worker's line on the WH-347 needs the classification as it appears in the WD, a straight-time rate at least the base rate, and the fringe met in cash, through a bona fide plan, or both (see fringe benefits, with the math). Put the WD number and modification in the header.
