I'm doing a query to an object. My question is if nothing returns is it technically null. I want to return null if it is.
People person = [SELECT Id, Type FROM People WHERE (Type LIKE '%Construction%') limit 1];
if (person == null)
return null;

The syntax in your code throws a QueryException if you try it. Instead, use one of the other common patterns. This is one that I use:
People person; // is null
for(People record: [SELECT Type FROM People WHERE Type LIKE '%Construction%' LIMIT 1])
person = record;
return person; // will return null or a single record

One way to do this is to check for the number of records returned:
People[] persons = [...];
if (persons.size() == 0) return null;
as your code as written will generate this exception if no records match:
