Der Baulöwe

Der Baulöwe is a managerial simulation in which the player takes control over a construction company. The obvious goal is to earn money and in order to achieve this, the company has to take contracts through call for bids. It is both important to have a good bid (high enough to be profitable and low enough to get the job) and a high workload distribution which binds all resources of the company, i.e. staff and equipment. Expansion eventually leads into processing multiple contracts at once and entering the field of land speculation.

Before starting a game, the player can choose the country in which the company is registered. This influences the running costs and the employees available for hire. People with low qualification are cheap but also influence the construction results negatively. The interface is completely based on menus in which the player analyzes the numbers and adjusts the setting screws of the business.
