Shady Contractor gives you a blueprint and asks you to stack the physical pieces into something close enough to pass inspection. Better accuracy earns a quality bonus.

Rushing the job or using fewer materials can increase your profit, but only while the structure stays standing. A shortcut that saves money can also send the whole job falling apart. This is a construction puzzle about deciding how much you can get away with, and it enters Early Access on Windows on November 2.
