From a small local builder to the largest contractor in the world. BUILD EMPIRE is a turn-based management simulation about running a general contractor. Win work at tender, run the sites, grow the company, and climb to No.1 in the world rankings. ■ How it plays 1. Tender - bid for projects and win the contract 2. Build - advance the month, progress the work, collect payment 3. Manage - grow departments, hire people, raise finance 4. Rank up - build a track record, clear the stage requirements, reach the top ■ Features - Fully turn-based. Nothing moves until you press "Next month". No timers, no waiting. - Projects from detached houses to skyscrapers, airports and maglev lines, up to national megaprojects and space-scale works - Every project type has its own artist's impression, so you can see what you are about to build - Sites change as the work progresses: cleared ground, excavation, foundations, steel frame, cladding, completion. Bridges, tunnels and offshore wind each build in their own way. - Tender tactics driven by technical score, standing, sales strength and your relationship with the client - Choose how your people work. Closing the site two days a week costs money and time, but morale and retention rise, and you avoid the overtime breaches that end in a suspension from public tenders. - Department levels, hiring and staff traits, bank finance, investment projects, M&A and overseas expansion - Everything you finish stays in the city on the home screen, built as itself - your own skyline takes shape. - A completion report every month. The real test is how far you beat your planned profit. - World rankings by revenue, profit and technical score ■ For players who - Enjoy management sims with real numbers behind them - Are interested in construction and city building - Want a game they can move forward one month at a time ■ Pricing Free to play all the way through, with a banner ad. The one-time Premium (deep management) purchase removes ads and opens up: - Subcontractors - build your trade base, sign exclusive partners, negotiate rates and payment terms - Site managers - grow them on site, post a job ad to hire in, and reassign them all in one go - Grade-based pay - set monthly pay and bonus months for each grade yourself - Shares and listing - hold client shares and float the company to raise capital beyond the banks No subscription. One payment, yours for good. Build your empire.
