Shady Contractor

Shady Contractor is a physics-based construction puzzler. You build structures by stacking blocks, balancing precision against the chance to cut corners and earn more.

Build to the blueprint

Each job comes with a blueprint. Get close enough to pass inspection, or match it exactly for a quality bonus. Rush a build for a time bonus, skimp on materials or take on a skyscraper job before you are ready. Shortcuts can increase your payout, but if part of the construction falls, OSHA shuts down the site; your client may still pay you for what remains.

Career and crew

Career Mode has progression and unlocks, with dozens of construction contracts and blueprints to obtain. You can buy blueprints to open riskier, higher-paying jobs, and recruit specialists who negotiate bigger payouts, tidy up your creative interpretations of plans and scout better contracts. Crew members can be upgraded, and each has unique abilities.

Other building modes

Classic Mode challenges you to build the tallest tower you can, either with or without a timer. You can also create custom blueprints for your own jobs.
