Game Description
Become a Real-Estate Tycoon in Build-A-Lot!
Build-A-Lot puts you in control over the real estate in a variety of towns. In Career Mode buy, build, remodel, and sell various styles of houses and other buildings at the request of the mayors of eight different towns.
It's up to you to just flip houses or sit back and collect rent for easy profit.
It's Easy to Learn
Gamers of all ages will understand how to play this real-estate strategy sim. With an interactive and intuitive interface Build-A-Lot practically eliminates the need for the helpful tutorial it provides in the town of Meadow Dale.
The game takes you through eight different towns including Pleasant Valley, Evergreen Park, Lakeside, and Palm Grove among others.
Play it Smart
Before you build anything or make any money you must buy the blueprints to the building and have enough workers and materials for the job. These all come at a price so save and spend wisely. Simply by dragging your cursor over a job will notify you of how many workers and materials are necessary.
Upgrade Your Houses for More Income
You can increase your rental income by upgrading your properties with additions to your buildings that include new paint, remodeled bathrooms, new fireplaces, custom mill work, wireless intercom systems and game rooms. Even add bowling alleys and pools to special clients' houses. This will increase your total worth and provide more money to build, buy or sell houses.
You Are Not Restricted to Just Houses!
You can also build other buildings including saloons, cinemas, post offices and fire stations. But it's up to you to build, manage and maintain these buildings too.
In Casual Mode You Call the Shots
The game also features a Casual Mode where you answer to no one. You have to complete the first few levels of Career Mode to make Casual Mode available, but once you do you can set up your real-estate kingdom at your own pace.
Increase your total worth to the highest possible amount.
Watch Out For Those Pesky Problems That May Arise
It's not all happy-go-lucky on your properties all the time. It's up to you to maintain the houses when a repair is needed.
A variety of problems may arise including plumbing, electrical, structural and pest problems. These problems require workers and materials. Don't neglect your properties or tenants.
Try Build-A-Lot for Some Money-Managing Fun!

A cool sim game for those interested in real estate!, Nov 19, 2009
by Lyle Atkinson (Butler, MO)
I really like this game because the tutorial is easy to understand and the career mode is great with goals to be reached within a certain time limit. Could be a great way to entertain kids as well as adults.




Awesome Game, Jun 07, 2009

My fourteen year old daughter and myself play this game together. She plays and I keep up with her materials and which homes need repairs. We discuss what to sell and what to keep. We both enjoy this game and it is something we can do together. We have not been able to buy this one yet, so we try to find it an hour at a time. So for us it is extremely fun, well worth downloading. Great game.

Build a lot is a great game. I love it. It provides hours of fun. It is a lot like really building houses. I’ve played other games like this one, but they don’t even come close to comparing.
AWESOME game!
