How much does a custom brick model of a house cost?
A custom brick model design of your house from Your World in Bricks costs $19 at any size, from 500 to 4,000 pieces. That covers the design, step-by-step instructions and parts list; the bricks are sold separately and typically cost about $60–$110 for a 500-piece house up to about $480–$880 for 4,000 pieces at LEGO® Pick a Brick prices, before tax and shipping.
Bricks are often less on BrickLink, and free if you already own the pieces.

Brick estimates are planning figures in USD (about 12–22¢ a piece), not live quotes, and exclude tax and shipping. Your finished model, its colors and the sellers you choose decide the real price. Piece counts are approximate targets.
Where the bricks come from, and what changes the price
- LEGO® Pick a Brick: upload the LEGO® upload list from your design with the “Upload List” button, then check colors, availability, prices and shipping before you pay. The estimates above use these prices.
- BrickLink: upload the BrickLink wanted list and compare stores, new or used pieces and shipping. Often less than Pick a Brick, but it varies by store.
- Bricks you already own: the complete parts list shows every part and color, so you can use matching pieces you have.
- Other brick brands: our parts lists and upload files are made for real LEGO® parts. Other brands use their own part numbers, so you would match each piece yourself; keep the same shape and color, or it may not fit the instructions.
- Size: fewer pieces cost less in bricks. The design price is the same at every size.
Other ways to pay for a design
The yearly library membership, $199/year, includes one custom design per paid year (your own home or a painting) plus every design in our library. The monthly membership, $20/month, opens the library only; custom designs are bought separately. Bricks are sold separately either way. Membership
Brick wall art from a photo is also $19 at any size; bricks for the default framed look are about $160–$220 (small), $290–$420 (medium), $470–$670 (large). Photo to brick art
Questions
How much does a custom brick model of my house cost?
The design is $19 at any size. The bricks are extra: about $60–$110 for 500 pieces up to about $480–$880 for 4,000 pieces at LEGO® Pick a Brick prices, before tax and shipping.
Why is every size the same price?
The $19 pays for designing your house, its instructions and parts list. A larger size adds detail: dormers, garden, deck. The extra pieces show up in the brick cost, not the design price.
Are the bricks included?
No. We don’t sell or ship the physical pieces. You pay the brick seller directly, and they handle delivery. We’re working on kits with the bricks included.
Will I know the exact brick cost before I buy them?
Once your design is ready, its page estimates the brick cost from its own parts list when saved LEGO® Pick a Brick prices are available for every piece, and its upload files let you see the real cart total at LEGO® Pick a Brick or BrickLink before you pay.
Is there anything else to pay?
Only tax and shipping from the brick sellers you choose. Membership is optional. Checkout is open to US residents.
