Manage Your Business: From hiring workers to managing finances, you're in control of every aspect of your construction company. Run your own construction company. Bid on jobs, send the crew to the site, get the materials there on time and hand over the building. No crew, no materials, no progress. Contractor Simulator is a construction tycoon and management game: every job is a budget, a crew and a deadline. If there is still cash in the bank on payday, congratulations, you are growing. WIN THE BID Name your price, wait for the answer, land the job. The right number makes you money; the wrong one puts you in the red. RUN YOUR CREW Assign workers, foremen and excavators to each project. No crew on site means no progress. Salaries and equipment rent are due whether you like it or not. BUY MATERIALS Concrete, iron, brick, ceramic, glass, wood, kitchens, bathrooms, paint. Market prices change day by day and delivery takes 1 day or 3. Watch the price trend, buy low, deliver on time. WAREHOUSE & TRUCKS A full warehouse means no more purchases. Upgrade your storage, send the trucks and never let a site run dry. You do not want to see "paused due to insufficient material". BANK & BUDGET Out of cash? The bank is open. Take a loan, finish the job, pay it back. Keep an eye on the Stats panel. GROW THE CITY From cottages to apartment blocks to skyscrapers. Level up, build your reputation and move on to bigger cities. TIME KEEPS MOVING Days and hours tick on continuously; in a hurry? Hit Speed Up. WHAT'S INSIDE • A bright isometric low-poly city full of cranes, dump trucks and excavators • Phase-by-phase construction with live progress tracking • A materials market with price-trend charts and order tracking • Upgradable warehouse plus HR, Real Estates, Bank and Stats panels • Plays on iPhone and iPad; also runs on Macs with Apple silicon • Free to play Start your construction company, manage your crew, complete the projects. Big jobs are waiting. — Privacy Policy: https://contractor-simulator.com/privacy-policy Support: https://contractor-simulator.com/support Contact: eren@contractor-simulator.com · omer@contractor-simulator.com Instagram: @contractorsimulator © 2026 Contractor Simulator
