Construction units are unique. They are only needed for doing new building construction and upgrades. Note, that producing Construction units needs to be done in multiples of eight (8). The cost of a bulldozer can cause your unit cost to be higher than normal. Construction units need 0.125x Bulldozer. Meaning 8 construction units can be made from 1 Bulldozer. If, you made 1 construction unit the price of 1 full bulldozer would be used. If, you made 2 construction units the price of 1 full bulldozer will be split between the two. And so on all the way up to the correct amount of 8.

Construction of buildings and building upgrades require resources instead of cash ($). The following resources are needed for new construction and building upgrades:
Reinforced concrete, bricks, planks, and construction units.
...
...
When building a new building or upgrading an existing building there will be a menu that shows the resources needed. The monetary costs are an approximation of the value of needed resources. Market value may differ from this reference value. It is suggested to find the materials through contracts to save on building and/or upgrade costs.
...
This makes it vital to obtain materials through contracts cheaper than exchange prices. Proper planning and bond scheduling may be needed to make the most out of each upgrade.
...
BUILDING VALUE
Building Value (BV), is how the game calculates building reference costs. The Building Value is the scrap value of all your Buildings.
...
SCRAPPING
If a building is level 1 or 2, you will get the full investment back. Any building above level 2 that is scrapped will not receive the full investment back. Destroying a level 5 building will return 5 times the value of a level 1 building.
Case one:
Construction resources for level 5 farm:
Level 1 | $6,900 |
Level 2 | $6,900 |
Level 3 | $13,800 |
Level 4 | $20,700 |
Level 5 | $27,600 |
Total | $75,900 |
If we scrap this level 5 building then we would receive construction resources back worth:
Level 1 | $6,900 |
Level 2 | $6,900 |
Level 3 | $6,900 |
Level 4 | $6,900 |
Level 5 | $6,900 |
Total | $34,500 |
Case two:
Construction resources for level 2 oil rig:
Level 1 | $69,000 |
Level 2 | $69,000 |
Total | $138,000 |
If we scrap this level 2 building then we would receive construction resources back worth:
Level 1 | $69,000 |
Level 2 | $69,000 |
Total | $138,000 |
Recovered materials from scrapping will be returned at quality zero (q0).
When scrapping and/or downgrading buildings the materials are returned at a the default reference price.
Material | Price |
Reinforced Concrete | $166. |
...
66 | |
Bricks | $2.16 |
Planks | $9.08 |
Construction Units | $2501.71 |
...
QUALITY
There is no benefit to having higher quality for new construction and upgrades.
