LEGO Fortnite – How to build a house fast

Want to build a house in LEGO Fortnite?

They say that home is where the heart is and in LEGO Fortnite, the place you call home is the most important building you’ll ever create. This guide will show you step-by-step how to build your first house in LEGO Fortnite so you can finally start building the base of your dreams. 

You’ll need resources to do so. Check out the best LEGO Fortnite villagers who can help out. They can gather resources like Flexwood for your base.

What resources do you need to build a house in LEGO Fortnite

The most basic house in LEGO Fortnite requires 13 pieces of wood to build. Make sure you collect enough before you start building. 

The most important resource to collect at the start of the game is wood. You can collect it by walking up to any tree and attacking it, a bit like you would in Minecraft. Granite is also essential for building houses in LEGO Fortnite. You can find this virtually everywhere and these rocks can be broken by hand.

How to lay foundations and build a house in LEGO Fortnite

Now that you’ve got the correct resources, you’re ready to start building your first LEGO House. First, you need to choose a good spot to build. It’s recommended that you build in the grassy plains or in an area close to the desert, as this is where you’ll find valuable resources like Copper.

Once you’ve found the right location, head into Build Mode by pressing B (Xbox) or Circle (PlayStation). When you’re in build mode, your character will hold up blueprints, like they do in Battle Royale. 

The first thing that you want to build is the Simple Shack foundation, which requires six pieces of wood to be built. Once you’ve crafted this, pop it down on the ground. It’s important to build the foundation first, as everything else builds on top of this. Sandbox mode will let you build without worrying about resources.

Once you’ve laid the foundation, you need to build the following items:

• Shack Wide Floor – one wood
• Shack Wall – one wood
• Two Shack Pillars – two wood
• Shack Roof Support – one wood
• Shack Ridge Roof Piece – one wood
• Shack Half Wall – one wood

The snap function lets you align blocks

Use this feature to quickly build larger structures without any issues.

Once you’ve built these parts, head back into build mode and, while looking at the foundation, select each different component. Each component should then ‘snap’ onto the foundation, and you just need to confirm the action to complete it. After you add all the parts to the foundation, you will have officially created your first house in LEGO Fortnite.

So, that’s how to build a house in LEGO Fortnite in a few simple steps. Once you’ve built the Simple Shack, you’ll have a base to operate from. However, the game doesn’t stop here and there are dozens of bigger and better houses to build. So, start grinding to craft the LEGO houses of your dreams.
