This assassination mission, given by Lester Crest, tasks Franklin with eliminating a construction CEO whose company is poised to benefit from a new development.

Mission Giver: Lester Crest
Target: Isaac Dime, CEO of Dime & Adams Construction.
Objective: Assassinate Isaac Dime.
Walkthrough:
- Receive the Mission: Lester will contact Franklin with the details of the assassination. He will explain the target and the potential stock market gains.
- Pre-Mission Investment: Before heading to the construction site, Lester will advise you to invest in the stock of a rival construction company. The best choice here is Betta Pharmaceuticals (BET) on the BAWSAQ exchange. Purchase as many shares as you can afford with all three characters.
- Locate the Target: Travel to the construction site located in the Elysian Island district. The target, Isaac Dime, will be overseeing the work.
- The Assassination: You can approach this in a few ways. The most direct is to head to the top of the construction site where Isaac Dime is located. He will be in a specific area, often near a crane. You can snipe him from a distance or get close and use a firearm. Be prepared for security guards.
- Post-Assassination: After eliminating Isaac Dime, the stock of Dime & Adams Construction (DCH) will plummet, and Betta Pharmaceuticals (BET) will rise sificantly.
- Stock Market Exploitation: Wait for the stock of Betta Pharmaceuticals to reach its peak. This can take some in-game time, so save your game and advance time if necessary. Once the stock has risen considerably (often around 50-80% or more), sell all your shares with all three characters.
Important Considerations:
- Timing is Everything: The success of this mission hinges on your stock market investments. Do not skip the pre-mission investment step.
- Save Frequently: Save your game before making investments and after completing the assassination to ensure you don't lose progress.
- Character Investments: Ensure all three characters (Michael, Franklin, and Trevor) invest in Betta Pharmaceuticals to maximize your profits.
- Patience for Stocks: The stock market can fluctuate. Be patient and wait for the optimal selling point for Betta Pharmaceuticals.
By following these steps, you can turn The Construction Assassination into one of the most lucrative missions in Grand Theft Auto V.
