Questions

Make an account and upload a few photos of the house. You’ll see a free AI preview of it in brick at every size and can ask for changes. When you like one, order the plans at that size; until you approve the design you can change the size or cancel for full store credit. We then design the real model brick by brick with you. You get the plans for that house: step-by-step instructions and a parts list to order the bricks from BrickLink, Wobrick or another seller.

Use your own email and upload listing photos, a few pictures from the curb, or old family prints. You don’t need to ask them for anything, and everything stays in your account until you give it.

We start as soon as you order, and designs are worked on in the order they’re paid for. Most of the time goes to the back and forth with you on the details. If you need the plans by a date, tell us when you order and we’ll aim for it.

Yes. Once you have an account, you can upload photos and see a free AI preview of how it could look in brick, at every size. You pay when you order the plans, and until you approve the real design you can cancel and keep the full amount as store credit. The preview sets the feel; the design is what your plans build.

Three to five photos: the front first, then each side you can get. Daylight, the whole house in frame and sharp is best. Listing photos and old prints work too. Each photo is checked as it uploads, and you’ll see a tip if one could be better.

Close, not exact. Everything snaps to the brick grid, windows and trim use parts that exist, and colours are the nearest brick colours. Pico and nano show the shape and colours only, and micro keeps the essentials. The image model can also add or miss a detail; the real design follows your photos, not the preview. Trees, shrubs and plantings are left out so nothing hides the house; the lawn is plain green.

Yes. Use Ask for changes on your house page and say what’s wrong. Each house gets 4 preview rounds. You can also save a note for the designer without making a new preview.

Yes. The design team posts questions and drafts on your house page, and you can answer, pick an option or ask for changes until it’s right. Once the design starts, changes go through that page rather than new photos.

Pico: About the size of a deck of cards. The shape and colours of the house in about a hundred pieces. Nano: About the size of a paperback. The house's shape, colours and window pattern in a few hundred pieces. Micro: Desk and shelf size. The whole house, simplified to its essentials. Midi: A centrepiece. Porch rails, window frames and roof pitch at full character.

The plans for your house: step-by-step building instructions made for that house alone, and its parts list. They’re on your house page once you approve the design. You order the bricks yourself from the seller you like, so you choose between genuine and compatible bricks and what you spend on them.

Plans are $149 for micro and $399 for midi, paid when you order. The bricks are separate: you buy them from BrickLink, Wobrick or another seller. Pico and nano, the two smallest sizes, will be priced soon.

Export your parts list for the seller you like: a BrickLink wanted list, to buy new or used parts from BrickLink’s sellers, a Wobrick list for Wobrick’s bulk upload, or a Rebrickable CSV for Rebrickable and the sellers that take it. Upload it, check out, and the bricks come straight to you.

It depends on the size of the house, the seller and whether you choose genuine or compatible bricks. Compatible bricks from a seller like Wobrick cost the least; genuine parts on BrickLink cost more. The parts list shows how many pieces your house needs, so you can price it before you buy.

Not for now. We sell the plans, and you order the bricks yourself with the parts list. It takes a few minutes and you keep the choice of seller.

Yes. Check the parts list against what you have and order only the rest.

Try another seller: BrickLink has many, and stock changes week to week. If a part is hard to find anywhere, tell us which one and we’ll suggest a substitute.

The instructions are digital, step by step, made for your house, on your house page to view or print. A printed booklet is coming later.

They can be. Your plans use standard studded building bricks, so you can build with genuine parts from BrickLink or with compatible bricks from sellers like Wobrick. Mini Brick Home is an independent studio and isn’t affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by the LEGO Group.

Paying starts real design work, so we don’t refund payments to your card. Until you approve your final design you can cancel for any reason and everything you paid becomes store credit, good for 12 months on any house. After you approve, your plans are finished and yours to keep.

Cancel from your house page any time before you approve your final design. Everything you paid becomes store credit on your account at once. It’s used first on your next order, lasts 12 months, and can’t be paid out.

It’s used first, automatically, when you order plans for any of your houses or change an order; if it covers everything, there’s nothing to pay at checkout. It lasts 12 months from when it’s added, and your balance is on your account page. It has no cash value, so it can’t be paid out or moved to another account.

When you order: you pay for the plans at the size you picked, in full. There’s nothing more to pay for the plans later. The bricks you buy from your seller.

Yes, on your house page, until you approve your final design. If the new size costs less, the difference becomes store credit. If it costs more, you pay the new total at checkout (your store credit first) and your earlier payment comes back in full, to your card up to what your card pays now and the rest as store credit. A new size means a new design, so the design team starts your house again at that size.

Missing or damaged bricks go back to the seller you bought them from. If our parts list or instructions have a mistake, tell us and we’ll fix your plans, free. Because each design is made for one house, we can’t refund plans for a change of mind.

Yes. Order with your own email and photos you already have, and nothing reaches the person until you give it to them. Give them the plans to build, or order the bricks yourself and give the whole set.

Yes. Order from the listing photos when you go under contract and tell us the closing date; we’ll aim to have the plans ready before it. Write to us about ordering for a team or a brokerage.
