Base tier. Builder work excludes walking and waiting; production rates apply while working. The in-game preview shows your exact current quote.

## Make room for it.

Allow a six-by-five-metre plot plus clear space outside the door. Check the automatic connection before building, especially beside an enclosure or a busy crossroads.

## Improvements & appearance.

Use Improve in the building details to raise its tier, up to tier 3. Read the quoted materials and work time before confirming. The plot stays the same. A home improvement raises comfort; it does not add beds. Style choices change its appearance without changing the footprint or gameplay.

## If something seems stuck.

Spare beds alone do not bring a new household. Keep at least two permanent beds free, 20 food in store and a stable food balance for the arrival check.

## Good neighbours.
