Narrative:

Cleared to taxi to runway 32L, hold short runway 36 on taxiway D. Cleared to cross runway 36, began running taxi and before takeoff list. Reviewed close-out and were discussing WX on departure radar. Next thing we know we were on runway 32L. Tower advises no problem taxi into position and hold. Due to construction and lack of familiarity with field, poor markings on taxiway D, and a runway change we taxied onto the active. It should be noted that taxiway D goes onto the runway and back taxi is required.
