This guide is here to help you master Construction Simulator 4 and run a top-notch construction business in no time.

Give Yourself an Advantage

When you first launch Construction Simulator 4, take a moment to adjust the settings to your advantage, especially if you're new to the series. One key setting to tweak is the economic cycle, which controls the interval between profit and loss reports. Setting it to the maximum of 90 minutes gives you ample time to strategize and recover from any setbacks.

Additionally, consider turning off traffic rules to avoid fines for reckless driving. Opting for Arcade Mode can also simplify the driving controls, making your gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.

Learn the Ropes

Don't skip the tutorial - it's your key to understanding the game's mechanics. An NPC named Hape guides you through every aspect of the game in detail. By following his steps, you'll learn how to operate all vehicles and navigate the company menu, where you can trade materials, purchase new machinery, and set waypoints.

Pick up Jobs

Once you've completed the tutorial, you'll be thrust into the heart of the game. The jobs system, accessible through the company menu, will guide you through campaign missions. You can also take on optional 'General Contracts' to earn additional experience and cash, helping you progress between more challenging missions.

Rank Up

To tackle certain jobs and missions, you'll need specific vehicles and ranks of machinery. Check the job descriptions to understand the requirements and set your goals accordingly. You can unlock new vehicles and ranks by accumulating experience points, which you can earn through general contracts. The cycle is simple: complete campaign missions when you're ready and fill in the gaps with general contracts.
