Most commemoratives in the real estate and construction space tend to look alike: generic, interchangeable, and, most of all, uninspired. Building replicas, on the other hand, can add considerable cachet and perceived value to your custom awards or deal toy.
Whether the particular event is a groundbreaking, a dedication, or a real estate transaction, it’s difficult to equal the resonance and appeal among recipients of a custom design—especially one that uniquely captures the precise details of the property or project.
And whether your custom-building design takes the form of Lucite, crystal, pewter, or resin, you can provide recipients with a tangible and lasting reminder of their time and effort committed to the project—as well as yours.Â
In the galleries beginning on this page, you’ll see a sampling of custom acrylic awards and deal toys featuring building replicas. The materials used in these commemoratives include crystal, Lucite, pewter, and resin.

The Step-by-Step Process: Creating Your Custom Building Replica
Curious about how your vision becomes a uniquely detailed building replica? Here’s our tried-and-true approach to bringing your project to life—seamlessly and collaboratively:
- Consultation & Discovery:
Begin by connecting with our team to share your project goals, details, and practical needs—think scale, quantity, timeline, and budget. Having these details upfront helps us tailor the ideal design for you. - Design Development:
Our designers get to work, drawing upon architectural renderings, blueprints, or photographs to accurately capture the essence of your building. We’ll choose the best materials—be it Lucite, crystal, pewter, or resin—to reflect your project’s unique characteristics. - Visualization & Feedback:
We walk you through design concepts using digital renderings or prototypes (when requested), giving you a clear picture before we proceed. Your feedback helps us refine the details until everything is just right. - Production & Quality Assurance:
Once the final design has your stamp of approval, our craftsmen bring your replica to life—carefully monitoring each piece to uphold our standards (and yours). - Delivery:
After a thorough quality check, your completed replicas are packaged securely and shipped directly to their recipients—ready to make a lasting impression when they arrive.
No matter the size or significance of your building, our process ensures each custom replica is as memorable and meaningful as the story behind it.
