	The [[Engineer]] uses his [[Construction PDA]] ~~in order~~ to construct his buildings. Once a building is selected, blueprints of the respective building ~~appears~~ in front of the Engineer, which can be rotated 90 degrees before deploying them using the alternate-fire key. If the building can be constructed on the given location, a 3D sketch of the completed building will appear. If the building is above an invalid location (uneven surface, another colliding entity on location, not enough space), then a red cross will appear on the blueprints instead. The construction of these buildings requires ~~metal~~, a resource that is exclusive to the Engineer. Each building has an associated amount of Metal required to construct the building. An Engineer can carry a maximum of 200 reserve Metal, which is consumed upon placing a building and can be regained through ammo boxes, resupply cabinets, destroyed building parts, fallen weapons and [[Dispenser]]s. Once a building is placed, the building will automatically construct, but the Engineer can hit it with his [[wrench]] in order to speed up construction. This method of accelerated construction is not exclusive to the Engineer's own buildings but can also be applied to those constructed by team members.

An Engineer can carry a maximum of 200 reserve Metal, which is consumed upon placing a building and can be regained through ammo boxes, resupply cabinets, destroyed building parts, fallen weapons and [[Dispenser]]s.

This method of accelerated construction is not exclusive to the Engineer's own buildings but can also be applied to those constructed by team members.

	In Team Fortress 2 Classic, the Engineer class can construct five types of buildings as of version 2.1.0. These include the Sentry Gun, which provides area defense, the Dispenser for healing and ammunition replenishment, and [[Teleporter]]s for rapid teammate transport. When equipped with the Jump Pad PDA, Engineers can also construct Jump Pads, which replace [[Teleporter]]s and provide access to routes typically reserved for explosive jumpers. The Metal costs for each building are as follows: Sentries require 130, Dispensers 100, [[Teleporter]] Entrances and Exits 50 each, and Jump Pads 70 each.

	At the start of construction, buildings appear with 0 [[health]], but gain health to its maximum value as construction continues. However, they are still susceptible to damage as they construct, so they are more easily destroyed while building compared to fully constructed. Visual indicators, such as smoke, sparks, and flames, appear as a building is damaged. However, buildings cannot be set on [[fire]], and any fire particles are purely visual indicators for a damaged building. Similarly, Buildings are also immune to [[bleed]] and [[critical hit]]s. Once a building is destroyed, they leave various pieces of scrap and gibs around their location, which can be collected by the Engineer in the form of metal, by Players as Ammo or by the [[Spy]] to recharge his cloak. Metal is also consumed to repair, upgrade and for Sentries specifically, reload. This can be achieved by hitting an Engineer's Buildings with a Wrench.

	If a building is at full health, the Engineer ~~is able to~~ upgrade his buildings ~~in order~~ to improve their functionality and maximum health. Each Wrench swing uses 25 ~~metal~~, and each building requires 200 metal to upgrade. [[Teleporter]]s, Sentry Guns, and Dispensers can all be upgraded twice to a maximum level of 3, while the Jump Pads cannot be upgraded.

	An enemy Spy is able to place a [[Sapper]] on a building, which disables it and draining its health. Once a Building is sapped, the Engineer who built it will receive an indication that their Building is sapped and make an associated voice call.

	~~Buildings are special constructions that can be built by the~~ Engineer. As of ~~version~~ 2.1.0, ~~there are 5 types~~ of buildings ~~he can contruct~~. ~~He can build Sentry Guns or Sentries which reinforce~~ an ~~area, Dispensers which~~ can ~~heal and supply ammo that provide~~ a ~~safe space for his team~~, ~~Teleporters~~ which can ~~transport Teammates (~~and ~~enemy~~ [[~~Spy\|Spies~~]]~~) to this safe space faster~~. ~~Finally while equipping~~ the ~~PDA: Jump pads allow him to replace his Teleporters~~ with ~~Jump Pads which allow~~ his ~~Teammates to jump over map elements and use routes only~~ [[~~Rocket Jumping\|explosive jumpers~~]] ~~normally have access~~ to.		The Engineer uses his [[Construction PDA]] in order to construct his buildings. One a building is selected, blueprints of the respective building appears in front of the Engineer, which can be rotated 90 degrees before deploying them (default key: MOUSE 2). If the building can be constructed on the given location, a 3D sketch of the completed building will appear. If the building is above an invalid location (uneven surface, another colliding entity on location, not enough space), then a red cross will appear on the blueprints instead. The construction of these buildings requires [[Metal]], a resource that is exclusive to the Engineer. Each building has an associated amount of [[Metal\|metal]] required to construct the building. An Engineer can carry a maximum of 200 reserve [[metal]], which is consumed upon placing a building and can be regained through [[Ammo]] boxes, resupply cabinets, destroyed building parts, and [[Dispensers]]. Once a building is placed, the building will automatically construct, but the Engineer can hit it with his [[Wrench]] in order to speed up construction. This method of accelerated construction is not exclusive to the Engineer's own buildings but can also be applied to those constructed by team members.

	~~To place a building~~, the Engineer ~~must have enough [[Metal]]~~. ~~An Engineer has 200 reserve metal to start~~ with ~~but~~ can ~~be replenished througha variety of methods such as Dispensers~~, ~~[[Ammo]] boxes~~ and ~~Building gibs~~. Sentries ~~cost~~ 130 ~~Metal to place~~, Dispensers 100, Teleporter Entrances and Exits ~~cost~~ 50 each and Jump Pads ~~cost~~ 70. Metal is expended to repair, upgrade and for Sentries specifically, reload. Metal priority goes to repairing first, Each building takes 200 Metal to reach the next level, with the level cap at 3. Each Wrench swing uses up Metal, and if the Engineer does not have any left a distinct sound will play and nothing will happen.		In Team Fortress 2 Classic, the Engineer class can construct five types of buildings as of version 2.1.0. These include the Sentry Gun, which provides area defense, the Dispenser for healing and ammunition replenishment, and Teleporters for rapid teammate transport. When equipped with the PDA, Engineers can also construct Jump Pads, which replace Teleporters and provide access to routes typically reserved for explosive jumpers. The Metal costs for each building are as follows: Sentries require 130, Dispensers 100, Teleporter Entrances and Exits 50 each, and Jump Pads 70 each.

	~~To actually place a Building~~, ~~an Engineer must open his Construction PDA and select~~ which ~~Building he wishes~~ to ~~place (default keys: 1~~., 2, ~~3 & 4)~~. ~~Buildings can only~~ be ~~placed~~ on ~~relatively flat surfaces with enough surface area~~ for ~~the Buildings to realistically be~~. ~~Afterwards the Building will begin construction. Buildings will build themselves with enough time~~, ~~but this~~ can be ~~sped up~~ by ~~hitting them with~~ the Engineer's [[~~Wrench~~]]. This ~~even works on other~~ Engineer's Buildings ~~who are on the same team~~.		At the start of construction, buildings appear with 0 [[health]], which increases to its maximum value as construction continues. However, they are still susceptible to damage as they construct, so they are more easily destroyed while building compared to fully constructed. Visual indicators, such as smoke, sparks, and flames, appear as a building is damaged. However, buildings cannot be set on fire, and any fire particles are purely visual indicators for a damaged building. Once a building is destroyed, they leave various pieces of scrap and gibs around their location, which can be collected by the Engineer in the form of metal or by the [[Spy]] to recharge his cloak. Metal is also consumed to repair, upgrade and for Sentries specifically, reload. This can be achieved by hitting an Engineer's Buildings with a [[Wrench]].

	~~Just like Players, Buildings have~~ a health ~~stat~~ and ~~if the~~ health ~~reaches zero~~, ~~they explode into gibs which can be picked up for Metal~~ and ~~Ammo~~. ~~A Building's health starts at 0 but gains health as it increases. The health of buildings increases with each level~~, ~~capping at level 3. Players~~ can ~~put their crosshair over~~ a ~~Building to see its health, but damaged Buildings show signs~~ of ~~damage such as sparks or being on fire. Buildings are immune to status effects such as [[Fire\|Afterburn]] or [[Bleed]]~~, ~~so don't bother with lighting one with a [[Flamethrower]] and holding out~~ the ~~[[Harvester]] and expect it to do something~~.		If a building is at full health, the Engineer is able to upgrade his buildings in order to improve their functionality and maximum health. Each Wrench swing uses 25 metal, and each building requires 200 metal to upgrade. Teleporters, Sentry Guns, and Dispensers can all be upgraded twice to a maximum level of 3, while the Jump Pads cannot be upgraded.

	~~If an~~ enemy Spy ~~places~~ a [[Sapper]] on a building, ~~a sapper appears on the building and~~ disables it~~, while slowly~~ draining ~~it's~~ health. Once a Building is sapped, the Engineer who built it will receive an indication that their Building is sapped. Sappers can be removed by the Engineer himself or any other Engineer on the Engineer's Team.		An enemy Spy is able to place a [[Sapper]] on a building, which disables it and draining its health. Once a Building is sapped, the Engineer who built it will receive an indication that their Building is sapped and make an associated voice call.

	~~In order for a building to~~ be ~~constructed~~ the Engineer ~~must have enough [[Metal\|metal]]~~. ~~The Engineer has 200 reserve metal to start with~~, ~~and is consumed upon placing a building~~. ~~Extra metal~~ can ~~be gained through~~ ammo ~~packs~~, ~~resupply cabinets, building~~ [[~~gibs~~]] ~~and dispensers~~. ~~Afterwards he can use his~~ PDA to ~~cosntruct a building.

Multiple Engineers can stack this effect. Once a building is fully completed it immediately begins operation~~.		Buildings are special constructions that can be built by the Engineer. As of version 2.1.0, there are 5 types of buildings he can contruct. He can build Sentry Guns or Sentries which reinforce an area, Dispensers which can heal and supply ammo that provide a safe space for his team, Teleporters which can transport Teammates (and enemy [[Spy\|Spies]]) to this safe space faster. Finally while equipping the PDA: Jump pads allow him to replace his Teleporters with Jump Pads which allow his Teammates to jump over map elements and use routes only [[Rocket Jumping\|explosive jumpers]] normally have access to.

	~~Like players~~, ~~buildings~~ have [[~~health~~]] and ~~are destroyed when it is reduced~~ to ~~zero~~. ~~Buildings gain health as they construct, so Engineers can leave buildings~~ to ~~build themselves~~, for ~~example leaving a teleporter~~ to ~~construct while they find a spot to build. Players can focus their crosshair on a~~ building to ~~determine its current health just like other players~~, ~~though weak buildings also display visible signs of damage such as smoke, sparks~~, and ~~flames~~.		To place a building, the Engineer must have enough [[Metal]]. An Engineer has 200 reserve metal to start with but can be replenished througha variety of methods such as Dispensers, [[Ammo]] boxes and Building gibs. Sentries cost 130 Metal to place, Dispensers 100, Teleporter Entrances and Exits cost 50 each and Jump Pads cost 70. Metal is expended to repair, upgrade and for Sentries specifically, reload. Metal priority goes to repairing first, Each building takes 200 Metal to reach the next level, with the level cap at 3. Each Wrench swing uses up Metal, and if the Engineer does not have any left a distinct sound will play and nothing will happen.

	~~Buildings can be repaired~~, ~~upgrades~~ and ~~in the case of the Sentry Gun~~, ~~reloaded by hitting them with a Wrench~~, ~~but~~ only ~~if the Engineer has enough metal. Some buildings such as Jump Pads cannot~~ be ~~upgraded at all. Repairing a building takes metal priority, then resupply and then finally upgrades,~~ with ~~limits~~ to ~~how much metal can go per strike~~. ~~Upgrading a building takes a total of 200 metal and increases its health in addition to improving its abilities~~. Buildings can be ~~upgraded twice to reach level 3,~~ with the ~~exception of the Jump Pad~~. Buildings ~~can also be used for vertical mobility; a dispenser can be placed and used as a stool to reach higher ledges~~.		To actually place a Building, an Engineer must open his Construction PDA and select which Building he wishes to place (default keys: 1., 2, 3 & 4). Buildings can only be placed on relatively flat surfaces with enough surface area for the Buildings to realistically be. Afterwards the Building will begin construction. Buildings will build themselves with enough time, but this can be sped up by hitting them with the Engineer's [[Wrench]]. This even works on other Engineer's Buildings who are on the same team.

	Buildings ~~can be disabled by the [[Spy]]'s [[Sapper]]. If~~ a ~~Sapper is applied to a building, it immediately ceases functioning~~ and ~~alerts~~ the ~~owner~~, ~~in addition to being drained of health. Sappers~~ can be ~~removed by an Engineer~~'s ~~melee weapon, which restores the building's operations in~~ 0.~~5 seconds~~. Buildings ~~cannot be repaired, reloaded, upgraded,~~ or ~~manually demolished while~~ being ~~sapped~~. ~~A sapper takes approximately 3 hits~~ to ~~remove~~.		Just like Players, Buildings have a health stat and if the health reaches zero, they explode into gibs which can be picked up for Metal and Ammo. A Building's health starts at 0 but gains health as it increases. The health of buildings increases with each level, capping at level 3. Players can put their crosshair over a Building to see its health, but damaged Buildings show signs of damage such as sparks or being on fire. Buildings are immune to status effects such as [[Fire\|Afterburn]] or [[Bleed]], so don't bother with lighting one with a [[Flamethrower]] and holding out the [[Harvester]] and expect it to do something.

	If ~~the Engineer wishes, he can destroy any of his buildings with the~~ [[~~Demolish Tool~~]]~~. This instantly causes~~ the building ~~to explode as if~~ it ~~were destroyed by an enemy. The building~~'s ~~gibs can be picked up as ammo and/or reused as metal~~. ~~Buildings being~~ sapped ~~cannot~~ be ~~demolished. The~~ Engineer~~'s buildings are not vulnerable to his~~ other ~~weapons or to his Sentry Gun (unlike~~ the Engineer ~~himself)~~.		If an enemy Spy places a [[Sapper]] on a building, a sapper appears on the building and disables it, while slowly draining it's health. Once a Building is sapped, the Engineer who built it will receive an indication that their Building is sapped. Sappers can be removed by the Engineer himself or any other Engineer on the Engineer's Team.
