Building in Fortnite is considered an important skill to complete the game.

Construct the best structures: walls, floors, roofs and stairs.

Fortnite has three types of materials which can be used to build: Wood, stone and metal. Destroying things with a pickaxe like walls, trees, rocks and cars you get material.

You can also find materials in chests. Use materials according to the situations for example wooden structures aren't stronger enough but they are the quickest to construct.
