-Buying a Plot of Land-
Before you can begin construction, you'll need to own a plot.
To purchase a plot of land, you'll be contacted by courier to speak with one of three Jarls or their stewards. If you're a Thane, you won't be contacted by courier, but you can still make a purchase.
Find the Jarl in Morthal, Falkreath, or Dawnstar. Find even more details on where to buy plots with our full land-purchasing guide.
-Constructing Your House-
Once the plot is purchased, travel to the site. There, you'll find a Drafting Table and Carpenter's Bench. These can be used to craft materials into the new items of Hearthfire used for construction; nails, locks, hinges, and fittings.
You'll also need to collect new house-building items.
Each plot begins with a treasure chest with: 30 Clay, 30 Quarried Stone, 6 Iron Ingots, and 1 Corundum Ingot
To begin construction on your home, interact with the Drafting Table to bring up the
Small House Layout. Then, choose where to place the rectangle where the foundations for your house will be placed.
Below, you'll find our list of materials needed to construct houses, followed by our step-by-step guide to construction, what order you'll need to build, and what can be built.

Once you complete the Main Hall, you'll be able to remodel into an Entry Hall. This allows you to construct three new foundations that attach to this central hall, these "wings" are just new additions to expand your home.
After completing your original Small Home, you can also begin construction on several exterior features, such as: stables for horses, a smelter, a garden for growing plants, a grindstone, an apiary, an animal pen, and an armorer workbench.
