A residential construction site features several houses in various stages of development. The house in the foreground is partially built, with its structure framed and covered in yellow Tyvek sheathing. Other houses in the background appear more complete, displaying dark blue and mustard yellow siding. A yellow temporary fence runs along the edge of the site, and construction materials are scattered across the ground. A cloudy sky looms overhead, contributing to a subdued atmosphere.
