Is there anything in virtue of which the building facts obtain? That is, when a builds b, is there anything in virtue of which that is the case? This chapter argues that the answer must be ‘yes’, and defends the view that a builds b in virtue of the existence and nature of a. Recent alternatives by Dasgupta and Fine are considered and rejected.
