In a construction puzzle you have to build (assemble) a technical contraption. This may be a static object (such as a bridge) or a mechanical object (like a machine).

In a wider sense a construction puzzle is any puzzle where you have to assemble a given set of pieces in a certain way. Examples for these types of construction puzzles are the stick puzzles, many tiling puzzles and also some mechanical puzzles.
