Building Studs are a processed form of LEGO Ore produced by the Ore Refinery. They resemble standard yellow 2x2 LEGO bricks (part 3003, design 300324) with four interlocking studs on top. They only appear in the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders.
As a Building Stud is worth five pieces of Ore, it takes less of these to make a building than Ore, so construction is always much quicker and more efficient. This also applies to the upgrading of Buildings and Vehicles. They can only be picked up by Rock Raiders. Thus, using Building Studs instead of Ore prevents Small Transport Trucks from delivering excess materials to construction sites.
Depending on what level the Ore Refinery has been upgraded to, Building Studs will require two to five pieces of Ore to process, and will have to be carried back to the Tool Store from the Ore Refinery, though they may be used for construction at any time. They are prioritized on the same level as Ore in the Priorities list.
