Overview
gm_construct comes standard with Garry's Mod. Unlike the other standard map, gm_flatgrass (Location), Construct is more fleshed out; including a skybox with outer buildings and different areas. It can best be compared to as being like a movie set because of its multi-functionality.
The modern incarnations of gm_construct are one of Garry's Mod's most iconic traits, due to being one of the first maps the player has to play on. This popularity is further bolstered by its regular appearance in screenshots, videos, and machinima about Garry's Mod. This has led the map to sometimes be referenced by other games, such as Ultrakill (Game)'s sandbox mode.
Like flatgrass, there are many player-created variations of gm_construct, altering its appearance or fleshing out the architecture of the level.
Notable Areas
The map's open area includes an area of land with a small pond parallel to it. The map is enclosed by an outer wall (with walking area) that, unlike flatgrass, acts as an artificial barrier between the player area and the skybox. There are two buildings on two ends. One building is a darkened room with a single light near its back wall. The next building is wider than the other and has a room with no light.
Underneath the latter building is a large room with white walls that can be changed color with the Tool gun. This area is great for being used as a green screen.
