Very good quality

You can tell every piece was made by hand. From the tiny bricks to the wood beams — nothing felt mass produced.

Frequently asked questions

Title

Do I need any experience in construction or crafts?

No experience is needed. This DIY miniature house kit is designed for beginners and includes a step-by-step illustrated guide that walks you through the entire build at your own pace.

 

If you enjoy hands-on projects and taking your time, you’ll feel comfortable even if this is your first build.

How long does it take?

Most builds take around 10–12 hours in total, depending on your pace. You don’t need to complete it in one sitting; many builders spread the process over a few relaxed evening sessions or a weekend.

 

The experience is meant to be slow, calming, and enjoyable.

Is this miniature house kit suitable for kids?

Yes, but with adult supervision. The kit uses real materials like concrete, mortar, and small tools, so it’s best suited for adults or for kids building together with a parent or guardian.

 

Many families enjoy it as a shared project. We recommend our kits for ages 16+.

What exactly is included in the kit?

Each kit includes everything you need to build your miniature house from scratch:

  • 250+ Hand-cast mini concrete bricks
  • All the tools you may need
  • Concrete & mortar mix
  • Plaster mix
  • Steel wire reinforcement
  • Detail paint set
  • Pre-cut roof wooden framing
  • Window and door inserts
  • Step-by-step instructions.

Everything is curated to give you an authentic building experience — no plastic parts, ever.

 

LED light, miniature people, furniture, plants, and other miniature figurines are not included and can be added separately.

What scale is the miniature house kit?

The kit is made in 1:24 scale, which means everything is 24 times smaller than real life. This scale is commonly used for miniature houses and dioramas, making it easy to combine with other 1:24 accessories, furniture, and figures.

Can I customize or paint the house?

Yes. The house can be fully customized and painted once built. Many builders enjoy adding their own colors, details, and accessories to make the house uniquely theirs.

Does it come gift-ready?

Yes. Each kit is carefully packed in our signature Concrete Crafts Club box that reflects concrete cement building, making it ready to gift as it is.

 

It’s a popular choice for birthdays, holidays, and meaningful, hands-on gifts.

What if something breaks or goes wrong?

Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. If a piece arrives damaged or something doesn’t go as expected during the build, just reach out to us, and we’ll help you sort it out.

 

We want you to enjoy the process from start to finish.

Do you offer refunds or guarantees?

Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it for a full refund — no questions asked. 

 

Just email us, and we’ll make it right.
