Build three wings on a house

How to unlock the Architect achievement in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition - Definitive Guide

The console commands below will give you ownership of the three plots of land and all of the required materials to build the houses. You will be hugely over encumbered but the "tgm" command will bypass that.

For this achievement you have to fully build one house, so build the small house, the main hall and the three wings. For "Master Architect" you need to do the same for all three houses.

Fair warning as I just found out, when you do the setstage commands, it will subtract the cost of buying the land if you have the gold. So if you want to hang on to your gold, stick it in a container before using those commands.

I've added a command to the list that will give the required amount of gold.

I can't seem to get either achievement to unlock. I used your guide and then spent hours running through missions to buy the house and then use codes to build. Any suggestions?

If you haven't already try the converting the small house to an entry way. Also make sure you've build the cellar. They are both technically optional parts of the build process but they may force the achievement to unlock. Beyond that I'd suggest checking the solutions for the console versions to see if anyone has encounter and solved the same issue before.

@Odessa, my achievement didn't unlock until I had entered the house.

Not sure if it's relevant,
You can only build one extension at a time,
So in the build plans if you still have an option for a wing , that might be it?

Copy/paste from the Skyrim Solution, credits go to King FiShiz.

First you need to Build the Small House, then finish the Main Hall. For the Architect Achievement you need then to build three wings at your house. You can chose Armory, Kitchen, Library, Alchemy, Storage, Trophy Room or a Greenroom.

For a complete house (Small House + Main Hall + 3x Wings) you ~ need
158x Quarried Stone
129x Sawn Log
48x Iron Ingot (181x Nails, 16x Hinge, 11x Iron Fittings and 11x Lock)
26x Clay
11x Corundum Ingot (11x Lock)

You can mine Quarried Stone and Clay around your house. Also your Steward sells that. Sawn Log can be also bought from a Mill. For Corundum and Iron Ingot just visit a Blacksmith, wait 48h and buy again.

Happy Building :D

It's 3 wings, 1 north, 1 west and 1 east. It's YOUR steward at the house, not Falkreath. And corrected the "mail hall".

This guide worked great, thanks! Built one of each wing and the achievement popped right after I built the third. I had to make two more hinges than the guide said but no big deal.

Where do you go to build these halls?
I went to the Drafting Table, and built some wings on the West, North & East sides and it said they were added. When I stepped away from the table and turned to look at my house, nothing had changed.

I see there's one side roped off now. What's the next step?

Do the materials have to be on our person, or is having them in the chest next to the Drafting Table good enough?
Answer:
The materials have to be on your person, except sawed logs.
-Rope-off an area using the DRAFTING TABLE,
-then use the ANVIL and scroll down to BUILDING MATERIALS. Craft what you need
-then use the CARPENTER'S TABLE to build each section of the wing.

Achievement wasn't unlocking for me. I'd reloaded a previous save and still nothing. Upon trying a third time, it finally worked. I tried to make sure to back out of carpenter's workbench each time I built something, went inside the house, then back outside and built the next thing.

For this achievement you first need to build the small house and the main hall. Once you have done that you will then be able to start building wings.

There are 7 wings in total: Armory, Alchemy, Greenroom, Kitchen, Library, Storage and Trophy Room. You will only need to build 3 of these for the achievement to pop.

Hope this helps.

First, you need to build the main hall (added in the drawings), (and this is the foundation, columns, walls, roof, etc.), and then attach 3 wings to it - northern, western and eastern. Depending on your preferences, this could be, for example, an armory, a magician's tower and a greenhouse (and more). The lack of resources can be filled - in Whiterun at the entrance to the blacksmith - iron ingots for building materials on the anvil. Sawn wood can be found at a sawmill (there is one south of Solitude), and stones can be obtained directly from the rock near your Windstad house
