Throughout the past 70 years, a great deal of research conducted on defining and testing problem‐solving skills has led toward solution‐focused practices and philosophies. As a result, some literature exists illustrating the efficacy of solution‐focused practices. However, no published research exists on the factors that contribute to solution building. This study tested for components of solution building while creating a solution building inventory. Results from a factor analysis failed to find specific factors within solution building; thus solution building appears to be a unidimensional concept. Implications for using the solution building inventory are discussed.
