An area of land being built on.
How to map
Map an outline of the land being built 
and add landuse=construction.
Additional tags
Recommended:
- check_date=* – the date when construction was last seen here. This tag will allow to find old, completed constructions
- name=* – name of the construction site
Optional:
- image=* – image
- opening_date=* – the expected date of completion of construction. Often found on the construction board
- construction=* – the kind of construction, usually what the landuse=* tag should be when the construction is complete
- operator=* – construction company name
- start_date=* – construction start date
If applicable:
- website=* – website
Tags on additional objects
- building=construction to map single buildings which are under construction. Usually you would use landuse=construction to tag the whole construction area, which is generally bigger than the building outline(s), and create new, separate objects for the under-construction buildings with this tag.
Nodes
As with many other tag such as building=* or landuse=cemetery mapping such features as areas is highly preferable. But in some cases one may be able to mark location of a construction site but unable to mark its area.
Similar/alternative tags
