# How to build

Building a space is super easy!

Spaces are created by constructing [blueprints](/build-a-space/blueprints) and positioning them in the desired areas within your space.&#x20;

A constructed blueprint is called a blueprint instance.&#x20;

Apply an available building material to a blueprint in order to construct a new instance of that blueprint.

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Example

A brick wall is constructed by applying *brick* material to a *wall* blueprint.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Select a blueprint

Make a selection from the [available blueprints](/build-a-space/blueprints#available-blueprints).

### Apply a material

Each blueprint has a variety of materials available. Select your preferred material depending on what you're building and apply it to the blueprint.

### Position the instance

Position the blueprint instance in the desired location within your space.&#x20;

An instance will have a green tint if it is positioned in a valid location, and a red tint if it is positioned in an invalid location.
