	Once you are finished with the design you can start building by using the ''Building Tool'' or the ''Welding Tool''. In order to be able to to build the design, the construction needs to have a built connection to the lot's entrance, either directly or through other constructed parts. The parts that do not have a built connection to an entrance cannot be built.

			# The module frame consists of plates (excluding decorative plates) and windows. Decorative plates, furniture, devices and the like are not considered as parts of the module frame.
			# When all of the parts considered as the frame in a module are fully constructed, work on the next connected module can begin.
			# Constructing modules that have no direct connection to the lot's entrance is only possible when they have a connection to the entrance through modules with a fully constructed frame. Once again, filling the parts in the module has to be started from the part that is connected to a module with a fully constructed frame.
