Additional tags
Recommended:
check_date=*– the date when construction was last seen here. This tag will allow to find old, completed constructionsname=*– name of the construction site
Optional:
image=*– imageopening_date=*– the expected date of completion of construction. Often found on the construction boardconstruction=*– the kind of construction, usually what thelanduse=*tag should be when the construction is completeoperator=*– construction company namestart_date=*– construction start date
If applicable:
website=*– website
Tags on additional objects
building=constructionto map individual buildings which are under construction. Usually you would uselanduse=constructionto 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.
It should be noted that some mappers use it in place of building=construction (sometimes without marking the whole are as landuse=construction). This may fall under Tagging for the renderer because buildings under construction (at least on Carto) are rendered as normal buildings and landuse=construction has a distinct render style but it prevents QA like StreetComplete to check for already constructed buildings.
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.
