Construction (Night City Builders)
Build real buildings with your crew on the big downtown building site (Pillbox Hill, near the cranes). Every task
you finish moves the building forward. Finish a phase and the whole crew gets a bonus; finish the roof and the
building is "topped out" and a new one starts.
How to start
- Find the gold Night City Builders pin on the map and talk to Dale, the Site Foreman ([E]).
- Want a crew? Pick Make a crew and invite people standing with you (they press Y). Up to 6 workers.
- Pick Start shift. You are dressed in site gear automatically - the hard hat is part of it. Work clothes stay on
until you clock out.
The site
Task markers appear around the site (gold dots on your map, red ones are drop zones under the crane).
Walk up to a marker and press [E]. Everyone in the crew sees the same list; a task you start is yours for 2 minutes.
| Task | How | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Survey | clipboard at the pegs | 1 |
| Jackhammer | break up the old slab | 2 |
| Hammer framing | hammer the frame | 2 |
| Weld beams | weld, then pass the skill check (fail = try again) | 3 |
| Carry materials | pick up at the stockpile ([E]), walk it to the marker (no running) | 2 |
| Pour concrete | drive the cement mixer onto the marker and hold [E] while it pours - keep it still | 6 |
| Clear debris | bulldozer: start at the marker, push every gold pile with the blade | 6 |
| Haul spoil | tipper truck: load on site, dump at the scrap-yard spoil tip | 6 |
| Supply run | flatbed: drive to the builders merchant, load up, bring it back to the site unloading point | 12 |
/buildtask puts the nearest open task on your GPS. /buildboard opens the site board.
Phases#
Foundation -> Frame -> Walls -> Roof. The HUD shows the phase and how far it is (FRAME 63%). Each phase uses
different tasks (more welding in Frame, more carrying in Walls...). Bigger crews need more progress per phase.
Machines#
Talk to Rhonda at the equipment yard to sign machines out (one of each per crew, every crew member gets the keys):
- Cement mixer + tipper truck: Hand tier
- Flatbed (supply runs): Carpenter tier
- Bulldozer: Equipment Operator tier
Return them to the equipment bay when done (they are taken back automatically when the shift ends).
Safety#
Drop-zone tasks (red) without a hard hat on can get you hurt: something falls, you go down and lose health.
Keep the hard hat on. Knee pads halve the risk.
Pay
- Every task pays per unit (to your bank), split fairly in a crew - people who don't work don't get a cut.
- Shift target 100 units (+60% per extra worker). Past it everything pays x1.5 overtime.
- Every finished phase: $40 per worker crew bonus. Topping out the roof: +$100 each on top.
- Hit the target and clock out with the foreman: completion bonus.
- Your career tier adds up to +30% to every paycheck; VIP adds its bonus too.

Snacks (water, coffee, energy drink, sandwich), Knee Pads (hammering + jackhammer 20% faster, half injury risk),
Welding Mask (weld checks easier), Power Drill (every hand task 25% faster), and looks: Yellow Hi-Vis,
Orange Hi-Vis, Foreman white hard hat. Gear works while it is in your pockets.
Tips
- Carry tasks are fastest when the stockpile is close to the marker - pick the nearest one.
- Leave the machine tasks to whoever has the machine; walkers take the hand tasks.
- Supply runs pay the most but take a while - one driver, everyone else keeps building.

(drop = drop zone). /constructiontask del (nearest within 5 m), list, show (map 2 min), reset (back to config).
The first add copies the config list, so nothing is lost.
