BRICKS Hardware Store

Welcome to BRICKS, your one-stop shop for all things home renovation. Everything from fridges to framing, paint to plumbing, drywall to dryers - BRICKS has it all!

Waiting to help you are a group of friendly staff members; Chris is at the front desk welcoming customers while Bryn and Arwen roam the stacks ready to help out. Leslie is outside demonstrating the brand new radial arm saw.

Visiting BRICKS today are Frankie and Ahmad. Like many couples they can't seem to agree on paint colors. But if you look closely they're each pitching a color their partner likes. Ahmad is holding a colour that matches Frankie's hair. While Frankie has picked a color the same shade as Ahmad's pants! Will this cute couple see past their bickering to see how perfect they are for each other?

Then there's James buying wood for his first ever DIY project - a bookshelf for his parents. Chris is waving him out the front door and silently hoping James won't hit his thumb with his shiny new hammer!

Finally there's Barrett - a veteran contractor stocking up on building supplies. Barrett spends so much time at BRICKS he knows all the employees by name!

I made this build for my husband who’s a general contractor. I'm an interior designer and together we rehab + renovate houses. It would be fair to say we spend a significant portion of our professional lives in stores just like this. As a result I was able to include a lot of real life details such as:

The oversized carts for buying lumber or drywall

Orange and green industrial shelves

A large exit door to accommodate forklifts and oversized deliveries

An industrial ceiling & roof structure with beams, cross supports and pendant lights

Products like drywall, lumber, toolkits and safety cones

Even the arguing couple in the paint section is a semi regular occurrence!

This building is set on a 32x32 baseplate

The roof structure can be removed in two sections. You can remove only the top and the leave ceiling components. Or you can remove both of them together to access the store more fully.

There are 8 minifigures - 4 store employees and 4 customers. The employees have custom printed torsos with the store logo.

The store logo is repeated throughout as stickers on boxes.

There's one other sticker on the side of the truck advertising the contractor's business.
