Build the Buildings?

from Stardock Forums
How are you planning on doing building construction? Is it going to be just buy the building with money/resources or will you have to build it yourself? I think it'd be cool if the buildings were semi-customizable like ships in GalCiv2. You would design the blueprint yourself. To actually create the building, you would have to gather the resources (in some way or other) needed by the blueprint and construct it over time.

That would totally rock!

But from what I've read so far the buildings do not seem to be component-based

Edit:
quote from Frogboy: "What about your cities? How do you want them to be? If you think the ship design features in Galactic Civilizations II were neat, wait till you see how much you can do in the user-designed buildings"
So it seems we will at least be able to visually design our building, if maybe not functionally.

It sounds like the main functional design change for the buildings, is how you link them together, IE a 3x3 grid of farms kind of links into one building that's as efficient as 12 farms (rather than 9).

However, I recall hearing about the option of for instance, adding a little apartment above a shop for the shopkeeper perhaps to live in. That sounds like a functional modification of the building itself.
