A construction machine comprising:

• a lower traveling body;
• an upper rotating body mounted rotatably on said lower traveling body, said upper rotating body being disposed in such a manner that a swing radius of a rear end of said upper rotating body is substantially received within the width of the lower traveling body of the construction machine;
• a working attachment attached to a front portion of said upper rotating body so as to be swingable in a transverse direction of the upper rotating body;
• an operator's seat disposed on one side of said upper rotating body in the transverse direction of the upper rotating body;
• a devices receptacle portion disposed on the other side of said upper rotating body in the transverse direction of the upper rotating body;
• an operating member for operating said working attachment, said operating member being disposed sideways of said operator's seat;
• and
• a canopy formed around said operator's seat, said canopy comprising:
• a front support post disposed in front of said operator's seat;
• a rear support post disposed behind said operator's seat;
• a side support post disposed sideways of said operator's seat and on the side of the seat where an operator gets on and off the upper rotating body;
• and
• a roof member adapted to connect said support posts with one another to constitute a rigid body,
• wherein said front support post is disposed close to said devices receptacle portion and said side support post is disposed outside the said operating member in such a manner that an open portion for keeping in substantially full view of said working attachment which is swung to the operator's seat side is formed obliquely in front of said operator's seat.
