      Hi,

      I wonder if the villagers have sufficient basic tools to work with timber and metal? (for example for bolting, nailing, cutting, welding, etc.) and with concrete-based materials (e.g. do they have concrete mixer or trowel, etc.?)

      Thank you!

        Hi An,

        Yes, the villagers have skills and tools for residential and commercial construction. We’ve also featured a video in our Interactives about local brick-making.

        I hope that helps.

        Regards,
        Jean
