BRICK Commissions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a BRICK Commission?

A BRICK Commission is a custom 3D Model made using LEGO® bricks. Be it a house, an office, a car, a bird, a plane or even Superman. Okay, maybe not Superman, but we have built some pretty awesome stuff over the years, so you won't be dissapointed.

How long does it take start to finish?

Timescales can vary depending on the complexity and size of your model. Time can range from a couple of weeks to 6 months for much larger builds.

Do you glue the models?

Occasionally we may find the need to stick bricks together to help with the structure and transportation of the build, if it is a large one. We aim to make our builds modular, meaning they can be easily broken down into smaller sections for transporting around. We should be honest... we, like, big, builds and we cannot lie...

Can I keep the build?

That is up to you. You can purchase the model or, for a reduced rate, hire it for as long as required

What sort of things have you built so far?

Our in-house master builders have built various things over the years, including 85x30 inch 3D mosaics of company logos and a fully working tunnelling machine!

How much will it cost?

Costs vary depending on the build and whether or not the model is purchased, hired, glued or protected in a display case etc. Your quote will be fixed, so there are no hidden costs.

Do you do small builds?

Yes we love small builds too! If you are looking for something a little smaller, even down to a design for a printed brick, give us a shout and our in-house design team will arrange that special gift for you.
