building kits

Constructible model packages

Building kits are packaged sets of materials and instructions for constructing something—from model airplanes to backyard sheds.

The kit provides pre-cut or pre-measured components, letting buyers assemble rather than fabricate from scratch: The treehouse came as a building kit with all the lumber numbered.

Scale varies enormously, from tiny plastic models to entire prefabricated homes.
