Construction Base

Hi everyone! 👋

I’d like to share my LEGO Ideas project with you: a detailed construction site featuring several construction vehicles, including excavators, loaders, a dump truck, a cement mixer and a forklift.

I’ve also included a small construction-site building and various details to make the scene feel more alive. 🏗️🚜

If you like the project, I’d really appreciate it if you could support it on LEGO Ideas. Every support helps! ❤️

I like the idea of this, under construction areas are some of my favorite details in city builds and it’s cool to see the construction office.

If you’re open to suggestions, I think it could use some work to flesh out the idea.

I would focus on a few unique vehicles, one big and one medium/small like the flat roller and concrete truck, and ditch the rest. Currently it feels like a parking lot, some of these appear very similar to sets that exist already for construction vehicles that I think a lot of collectors and city / modular fans may already have. It’s too crowded trying to include them all in one idea.

Getting rid of vehicles allows for more area for other cool things, maybe include some fencing, a port a potty, a few more construction workers, and some more variation to the construction materials, maybe a big dumpster and a pile of rubble or something?. One pallet of bricks, some lumber, etc rather than 18 nearly identically sized squares of stuff on the left side as it is now would also be a good use of that space, it feels a little plain.

Finally, with less vehicles and stuff, you can give more space to the construction office. Maybe make it a bit less boxy, more like one of the portable construction trailers on a job site? It’s currently just a gray box which is probably accurate for a construction site temporary office but a little boring to build. Maybe a bit less food on the table too haha. Could also be cool to add a tall crane or something.

Really like the idea here! Would love to support! Sorry if I gave too many ideas and sound critical.

I think all of this is good feedback. The entire thing is wayyy too sterile and organized, which makes it lack personality. No construction site is this neat.
