Provided is a construction machine including an engine, a hydraulic pump with a supercharger, and a hydraulic actuator, being capable of attaining both of a quick rise of engine speed and an operation of the hydraulic actuator during the rise of the engine speed. The construction machine further includes a supercharging pressure detector to detect a supercharging pressure of the supercharger and a controller to control absorption torque of the hydraulic pump, namely, pump torque. Until engine speed of the engine reaches target engine speed, the controller calculates target pump torque from a predetermined relationship between engine no-load speed and the target pump torque, corrects the target pump torque so as to make it smaller as the detected supercharging pressure is lower, and limits actual pump torque to the corrected target pump torque, until engine speed reaches target engine speed from engine speed lower than the target engine speed.
