About this game

Commercial construction happens from the ground up with the help of iron workers, carpenters, operating engineers, laborers, cement masons, and many other trades. It takes a number of skills to be a builder, including spatial awareness, plan reading, and the ability to understand order of operations.

Ground Up Construction gives the player a hands on introduction to commercial building, forcing them to put their skills to the test. See if you can master 100 puzzles where you'll build everything from convenience stores to skyscrapers. Follow the plans correctly, and see your building come to life. Make a mistake, and be forced demolish and start over.

Play Ground Up Construction and experience:
-100 levels of increasing difficulty
-Challenging puzzle-style gameplay
-Transforming levels upon successful completion
-Information and videos about life as a carpenter, cement mason, laborer, operating engineer, and iron worker
-Direct links to career opportunities in the construction trades

Ground Up Construction aims to build awareness of the career opportunities in the building trades, and was made possible by the generous contributions of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers, Local Union Number 3, the Ironworker Employers Association of Western Pennsylvania, the Master Builders’ Association of Western Pennsylvania and the Construction Advancement Program of Western Pennsylvania.

Decent game, but I think there should be an option (make it ask for confirmation a few times if you're hesitant) in the settings to turn off the questions between the puzzles. They maybe easier to get past then ads but they aren't for everyone, namely, people with jobs who just wanted to enjoy playing a game. I appreciate what you are aiming to accomplish, and I think this is a great way to introduce trades, skilled labor, etc. Either way, I wish you luck. It's very clean looking too!

Very cool just wish it gave you the view from the seat as an option. 4/5 for that reason and the items being damaged by other vehicles after I ve placed it in the designated location should not be a deduction from me

Thought this was a game but was spammed with real time apprenticeship programs in between levels. Not ads, like the "game itself." Overall confused and wouldn't download.

Hey Taylor, Sorry the apprenticeship information was frustrating for you. Our game is indeed a game, and we think a pretty fun puzzle game. But our game is also an educational game. We're trying to educate people on careers in construction, so we included some information about careers between levels. They're all optional and easy to skip.
