}}The '''Construction PDA''' is the stock PDA for the [[Engineer]], which is used to construct his various [[buildings]]. It appears as a gray handheld device with a small, blank screen, a red switch on top, and 8 face buttons, including a large yellow button.

The Construction PDA comes in two forms: the default '''PDA: Teleporter''' and the alternative '''PDA: Jump Pad''', which are visually the same, yet enables construction of different buildings. When the Construction PDA is the active weapon, a menu will appear on the user's interface, enabling construction of 4 buildings. Both PDAs allow construction of the [[Sentry Gun]] and [[Dispenser]].

If the PDA: Teleporter is active, it will allow building the Teleporter entrance and exit. If the PDA: Jump Pad is active, it allows building two Jump Pads, designated Jump Pad A and Jump Pad B. If the user already owns that building, or they don't have enough metal to build it, the Construction PDA will deny the ability to build it. | ||
When the desired building is chosen, it will appear as a white outline on top of a blueprint, demonstrating the position it will have once built. The Engineer will hold a toolbox during this, and will drop it when he dies. Unlike the toolbox held while hauling a building, he can freely switch weapons from it. The user can right-click while the blueprint is out to rotate the blueprints, and therefore the building. If the building cannot be placed at that position, such as while in the air, in a wall, or on certain map geometry, then the outline will disappear and a red "X" will take its place instead. Once a building is placed, the Engineer will immediately switch to the [[Wrench]], so that he can whack his newly-born building. If the attack button is pressed while the Construction PDA is out, the user will switch to their last weapon. | When the desired building is chosen, it will appear as a white outline on top of a blueprint, demonstrating the position it will have once built.
