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). 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 can cause your unit cost to be higher than normal.
NEW BUILDING 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.
When building upgrades are needed, obtaining any of the required construction units; will pull them from your warehouse stock.
{need pic of the upgrade menu -- preferably a low level building}While, any missing materials will buy from the Exchange.
...
The above image shows 2x Construction units were in the warehouse. The rest of the materials are showing the prices of the materials on the exchange. By pressing UPGRADE NOW, the game will process the Reinforced concrete, Bricks, and Planks at the exchange price listed. The total cost coming to $8,971 for this upgrade ($2,071 over the reference cost).
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.
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.
