Quarry, concrete plant, construction factory, hardware store, and general contractor
...
The Quarry can produce clay, limestone produces Clay, Limestone, and/or sandor Sand in abundance format just like Oil Rigs and Mines.
The abundances decrease 0.032% a day (or 1% a month).
The Concrete plant produces reinforced Reinforced concrete, bricksBricks, and cementCement.
The Construction factory produces steel Steel beams, planksPlanks, windowsWindows, and toolsTools.
The Hardware store sells bricksBricks, cementCement, planksPlanks, windowsWindows, and toolsTools. (retail)
The General contractor produces construction unitsConstruction units.
The Bulldozer is produced in a car factory.
Materials research is produced in a chemistry lab.
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). This is due to the bulldozers. One construction unit needs 0.125 bulldozers. If you try to make less than eight (8) construction units the 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. The cost of a bulldozer will can cause your construction prices unit cost to be higher than normal. {needs work}The bulldozer is produced in a car factory.

NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING UPGRADES
Construction of buildings and building upgrades require resources instead of cash ($). The following resources are needed for new construction and building upgrades:
...
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 greatly from this reference value. It is suggested to find the materials through contracts to save on building and/or upgrade costs.
{need pic of the upgrade menu -- preferably a low level building}
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.
...
Remember, to seek out contracts for cheaper materials than the exchange prices when planning out new buildings or upgrading buildings.
