Tips
Prior to starting your build, we recommend reading through the instructions to familiarise
yourself with the build style of the kit.
We recommend painting any white edges as you remove the components from the sheet to
improve the nished look. We advise watercolour paints for the best nish.
The components are held in position using breakout perforations. To remove them, gently pop
them out of the main sheet.
Remove each component as it is required to prevent losing or mixing it up with another component.
Ensure that glue is distributed evenly and not too close to the edge as it may ooze out when
pressure is applied.
Use low-tac masking tape, clamps and weights to aid the assembly process.

1. Detach Inner Wall A and place it face up on your work surface. Remove the excess card
from the notch that’s been cut into the wall (this will be used as a guide to position the oor).
We have supplied an alternative door and a window inll option with this kit. To incorporate one of
the alternative options, carefully remove the standard door by cutting along the surrounding
score line that’s been highlighted in yellow for ease.
2. Detach Outer Front and Side Walls. Then glue
Inner Wall A into position on the inside of
the wall.
Ensure that there is even spacing around the
window openings and the bottom of the walls
are ush with one another.
If you’ve decided to remove the standard door, now is the time to t one of the alternative options.
Simply glue the Alternative Door or Window Inl into the standard doors previous position. If
you’ve opted for the window inll turn Component A so that it’s face up and glue window inll
Part B into position.

3. Locate the glazing sheet and cut out the windows
along the thin outer lines. Then glue each one
into position.
Block A will require:
1 x Door, 4 x Ground Floor, 5 x First Floor
Block B will require:
1 x Door, 2 x Ground Floor, 4 x First Floor, 2 x Toilet
(If you’ve opted to replace the doors with window inls, an additional Ground Floor Window
will be required for each Block).

4. Detach Inner Wall B from the main sheet and
remove the excess card from the notches that
have been cut into the walls (these will be used
as guides to position the oor). Then, glue the
tabs to the inside of Component A.
The side walls of component A should
overhang the back wall by 0.5-1mm.

The visuals in this instructional manual are for Oce Block A. Although Oce Block B
is slightly dierent in appearance, we’ve designed it to be built the same way for ease.

6. Take the three packers from the last step
and glue them on top of one another to form
the roof curb.
7. Detach the Back Wall & Roof component and
lay it face up on your work surface.
Then, glue the roof curb to the roof.
i
8. Glue the Back Wall to the Inner Wall,
ensuring the bottom of each wall are
aligned.
The Back Wall should sit ush between the
two outer side walls.
Do not glue the roof to the walls just yet
as you will need access to the inside to
position the oors.
i
5. Detach three Roof Packers . Then fold each
one along the score line and glue together.
9. Detach the Ground Floor. Fold it along the
crease line and glue together.
10. Apply a bead of glue around the edge of the
oor and glue it into position.
Ensure you take your time with this step.
Applying even pressure where the oor
meets the wall until it’s semi-cured will ensure
a rm hold.

11. Detach the First Floor. Fold it along the
crease line and glue together.
12. Locate the notches on the inner walls (x4)
and apply glue inside each one.
Carefully lower the First Floor into the building,
until the tabs on the oor align with the notches
on the wall.
Apply even pressure from the outside until
the glue has semi-cured.
14. Detach the Cladding and fold it along the
crease lines. Then, glue the Cladding to the
building.
13. Apply a bead of glue around the outer side
of the roof kerb. Then, carefully position it
on the inside of the wall, ensuring that the
roof cap is ush with the top of the wall.
