@baekdal I understand your point. But in this scene it makes sense for it to be dark. It is the interior of a car, in the night, with ambient lights. We all have been in one of those. And we know that inside a car it is dark. Your corrected image looks like a doctor office.

Also: Ground clearance should only be performed in the areas where construction is required. This means that the construction crew cannot clear the whole site if it is not needed yet. Have a plan to minimize dust particles in the air while construction is in progress.
